Lagged Move

While honesty is a major issue of celebrities in the local entertainment industry, insiders know that revealing and admitting personal details can make or break a celebrity’s career. The local audience, fans, especially, have certain expectations on the image of celebrities. Thus, many celebrities project an image that they think would keep their fans loyal and that image oftentimes is not a hundred percent real.

When Versatile Actress (VA) started stripping off several of her image layers and coming clean with details of her personal life, her handlers seemed to cringe at the way VA opened up herself. Others thought it was a good idea for VA to be truthful, as it would stop all speculations. By contrast, others predicted the doom it would bring to her career.

As predicted, VA’s projects seemed to have lost luster. Worse, expectations for film projects were unmet. The verdict on the poor performance was that VA’s revelations did not translate into popularity; being honest backfired. However, the management has not given up on VA. For example, VA and Her Partner (HP) would have to be repackaged to regain public interest.

Given that plans were being made to give VA a positive spin, one factor that seemed to have been overlooked is the negative perception of VA. With the way she responds in her interviews, viewers could sometimes feel her aloofness. Moreover, the way she handled a family crisis was not the way that fans expected her to do.

For now, her reel projects are on hold, even HP would have to be scarce in appearing in movies, as the management can no longer afford another flop from either of them.

One of these four actresses (whose faces were superimposed on the costumed body of Marian Rivera who has played the legendary Pinoy super-heroine) could be the replacement for Liza Soberano who gave up the role due to a finger injured during a shoot for the Kapamilya action series Bagani.

Asked who his choice is as Liza’s replacement, director Erik Matti (photo, who also quit the project, replaced by Jerrold Tarog), told Funfare:

“I really feel that Liza would have been a fresh and exciting Darna. She’s young and embodies a lot of potential to create a modern take for this classic superhero character.

“After her, I only see Nadine Lustre so far as someone who can be Darna. Very sultry. She has a lot of female sensuality and at the same time still looks tough and very Filipina. The key to casting Darna has always been someone who can look plain and ordinary in her Narda alter ego but can be tough, spunky and can be very sexy as well when she transforms to Darna. Nadine can look all of that.”
