Liza Soberano happy, honored to play 'Darna'

-


It's confirmed!

Actress Liza Soberano will play the role of "Narda" in the newest film version of "Darna" which will be directed by Erik Matti.

Soberano said that she is excited to wear the iconic costume of the popular comics heroine created by Mars Ravelo.

"Sobrang na-excite po ako and siyempre, I'm happy and I feel really honored to be able to don the iconic costume and to be able to embody what she represents," said Soberano in an exclusive interview on ABS CBN.


But Soberano admitted that she has not seen any "Darna" movies.

"I haven't. I've asked Direk Erik Matti if I can. Pero he told na huwag muna. He wants me to go through the acting workshops and stunt training first before I watch the other movies para hindi din ako ma-influence ng ibang films. And then from there, ia-adjust na lang po kung anong kailangan," the actress said.

Soberano, 19, said that she will undergo different kinds of training for the action movie.


"I will undergo functional training, which is working out at the gym lang nagpapalakas po. And then eventually, I'll have stunt training, dance workshop para sa timing and gracefulness kapag gumalaw;"

"And then I think I'll have acting workshops again, as well as dialogue training. ...I want to look physically strong and capable of doing the stunts,"she said.

For the past months, several names of popular female celebrities in the country have flaunted to play ''Darna'' after another Kapamilya star  Angel Locsin turned down the offer for health reasons.


Other stars considered for the project include Nadine Lustre, Jessy Mendiola, Kathryn Bernardo, and Pia Wurtzbach.

Prior to Soberano, Kapuso star Marian Rivera played the role of "Darna" on television in 2009.

Other stars who played the title role were Vilma Santos, Angel Locsin, Regine Velasquez, Sharon Cuneta, Lotis Key, Rio Locsin, Nanette Medved, Anjanette Abayari, Gina Pareno, Eva Montes, and Rosa del Rosario, the first Darna. - ROBERT REQUINTINA

Kapamilya star Diego Loyzaga has admitted that he is reaching out to his father chief operating officer of Tourism Promotions Board Cesar Montano but he doesn't know if his dad knew that he was making the move. "Oo I am. Pero I don't even know kung alam n'ya. During the Christmas party of ABS CBN last year, I was with Tito Bayani (Agbayani). E magkapitbahay silang dalawa. And even Tito Bayani was telling me hindi na n'ya nakikita si Erpat. Lagi s'yang busy. Sinabi ni Tito Bayani, 'why don't you just text him?' "said Diego, when asked if he's reaching out to his father, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS CBN. "Sabi ko, 'why not?' Nanghihinayang ako eh. Kung kelan ako sobrang seryoso na sa ginagawa ko sa showbiz na 'to, I wanna learn so much. I'm taking workshops with Tito Pen Medina at kung sinu-sino pa. Why not my dad? Why not my father?; "Nanghihinayang lang ako. Sa kont
