It may not be "dear heart" anymore for John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo, but there will still be "a very special love" and a movie for them.
Last year unang na-announce na nagbabalak magsanib-puwersa ang Star Cinema at Viva Films na i-remake ang kauna-unahang movie ni Sharon Cuneta 30 years ago, ang Dear Heart. It would have starred Star Magic's John Lloyd and Viva Artist Agency's Sarah.
Nang nalaman ito ng Megastar, hindi siya pumayag na gawan ito ng remake and she said so vocally. Out of respect to both Viva and ABS-CBN's biggest star, hindi na lang ito itinuloy. This doesn't mean though na hindi na matutuloy ang pagtatambal nina John Lloyd at Sarah on the big screen dahil nabigyan pa rin sila ng replacement project.
Nagsimula na last week ang shooting ng pelikulang A Very Special Love ng Star Cinema, starring the male endorser of Greenwich and the female endorser of Jollibee mula sa direction ni Cathy Garcia-Molina. It also stars Joross Gamboa, Matet de Leon, Al Tantay, Gio Alvarez, and Irma Adlawan. This will be Star Cinema's fifth movie to be released this year after My Big Love, Supah Papalicious, When Love Begins, and Caregiver na ipalalabas on May 28 nationwide.
June ang playdate ng A Very Special Love and it will still be part of Star Cinema's 15th anniversary special presentation na pasisimulan ng Caregiver ni Sharon Cuneta.
