“Unang-una, wala namang kinalaman si Marc sa movie kong ‘12’,” she says. “At isa pa, nakakahiya naman sa kapareha kong si Ivan Padilla dahil siya ang leading man ko, tapos ibang lalaki ang pag-uusapan. Respeto na lang, di ba? Mas gusto ko ring i-promote ang ‘12’ kaysa sa lovelife ko. Mamaya, puro lovelife ang masulat nyo at ni hindi mabanggit ang ‘12’ na ipinagmamalaki ko pa namang ako ang sumulat ng buong story and script.”
Alessandra’s mom was there at the screening, fresh from Italy, to spend Christmas with her and sister Assunta. She says her husband opted to stay in their home town in Lecce at the south of Italy to keep their two younger daughters company. She says she’s been asking Alex as to when she’d get married as she’s already 33.
“Naku, 25 pa lang ako, gusto na talaga ng mama kong mag-asawa na ako para magkaanak daw ako nang marami,” says Alex. “But I think iba ang gusto ni God para sa akin. Okay lang naman to be 33 and single. Masaya naman ako sa buhay ko. Lalo na ngayon, nagkaroon ng bagong dimension ang career ko. I’ll be producing my own films at may project nga ako for Aga Muhlach na nagustuhan naman niya. Meron din akong isinulat na series, ‘The Diary of a 30 Something’, a comedy then, may gagawin din akong series with Empoy Marquez and Piolo Pascual. So, magiging busy talaga ang lola nyo.”
Alex has reason to be proud of her movie “l2” because she has written a fine script that examines the deterioration of a relationship that lasted for 12 long years. She has a good ear for dialogue that seems so natural and even if the movie is quite talky since there are only two characters in it, you won’t get bored as both she and Ivan did a fine job of enacting their respective roles.
Oh yes, there’s actually a guest star in the movie. Someone pops up from nowhere and the viewers laughed when they saw his face. He has no line of dialogue at all, but his presence is truly hilarious. Can you guess the identity of this actor who made a special cameo in “12” to support Alessandra? Find out who he is when “12” opens in theaters nationwide this coming Wednesday.
