Director Chris Martinez Raves About The Good Chemistry Of Anne Curtis And Cristine Reyes In 'The Gifted'

DIRECTOR CHRIS MARTINEZ has done hit comedies like “Here Comes the Bride” and “Kimmy Dora”, so he is confident that his new comedy, “The Gifted”, that's now showing in theatres nationwide, will similarly be a blockbuster. “You’d think na good chemistry works only sa leading man at leading lady niya,” he says. “But in Anne Curtis and Cristine Reyes, kitang-kita ang ganda ng chemistry nila as frenemies, friends na naging enemies. Pareho silang brainy, naging magkaribal sila klase, pataasan ng grades para maging number one, at naging magkaribal din sila attention ni Sam Milby. Puede namang maganda ang chemistry kahit same gender, just like Dennis Trillo and Tom Rodriguez na hanggang ngayon, gustong-gusto ng mga tao kahit wala na yung show nila. Napanood ko pa lang sina Anne at Cristine sa ‘No Other Woman’, I noticed na maganda na ang kombinasyon nila on screen, and we exploit that to the fullest dito sa ‘The Gifted’. Very much satisfied ako sa performance nilang dalawa. Nagawa ko ring mapagpantay ang mga role nila. Ang ganda ng chemistry nila at ang ganda nilang panoorin sa screen lalo na kapag nagtatarayan sila. Ang ganda pati batuhan nila nga mga linya. Ako mismo, napapalakpak. Nakakatuwa nga kasi after we posted the trailer of ‘The Gifted’ sa internet, naka-3 million views agad in two weeks. And lahat, tinatanong kung kailan ipalalabas, which is very encouraging kasi ibig sabihin, ang daming nag-aabang sa movie. Iba talaga ang power ng social media. Do’n pa lang makikita mo na kung interesado sila o hindi sa pelikula. Kaya don sa mga nag-share ng trailer ng movie namin sa social media nagpasalamat talaga ako sa kanila.”
