Wish Granted For JoshLias!

Two Thursdays ago, as I was preparing for my weekly “A Love To Last” online companion show stint at the Star Cinema office, someone just broke in to our room to watch her scenes on the series: JULIA BARRETTO. I was shocked. Even my co-hosts were.

And Julia was not alone… She was with Joshua Garcia, her ka-loveteam in the MMFF 2016 breakout hit “Vince and Kath and James”. I casually asked them why they were there. I was informed of what was coming up. Of course, I am not allowed to reveal it yet that time.

Yesterday, the cat is finally out of the bag. Star Cinema officially revealed JoshLia’s next project: a movie to be directed by Tonette Jadaone, no less.

Green hearts spread all over social media as fans of these two’s pairing have been requesting non-stop for a project featuring JoshLia. They are doing separate projects on TV: Julia is in “A Love To Last” where she is paired with another VKJ leading man, Ronnie Alonte”, while Joshua is about to wrap his “The Greatest Love” stint and will figure in a love triangle with Janella Salvador and Elmo Magalona in an upcoming serye. Putting Julia and Joshua together seemed impossible… Until this project came. Answered prayer, as some of their fans put it.

Details about the film are still in the wraps, but according to Direk Tonette, he was surprised to see Joshua in tears as she was pitching the story to him. “Na-feel ko yung sincerity niya. Ang bilis niyang nakapasok sa character niya,” the box-office director revealed. She is also appreciative of Julia’s gesture and trust on her as the film’s director and screenwriter. “Sabi niya, ‘Direk, when you write, don’t worry about my image, of what I can or can’t do’,” Direk Tonette shared.

This exciting and, for sure, kilig offering is expected to hit theaters later this year. So let’s ready our JoshLia hearts for another movie event we wouldn’t really want to miss!
