The love team known among fans as JaDine (short for James and Nadine) is back in the light, feel good summer movie produced by their mother studio for Viva Films. The film is called This Time and it opens in theaters nationwide on May 4.
In the last shooting day for the film, James Reid recounted how he and love-teammate Nadine Lustre have been very excited to go back to starring in a movie after working for months for the nightly series On The Wings of Love on ABS-CBN.
According to the two, they missed acting for a movie. This Time, compared to Diary ng Panget, Talk Back and You’re Dead, and Hopeless Romantic, even OTWOL, is very light.
The movie, directed by Nuel Naval from a screenplay by Mel del Rosario is about Cocoy (James), a granddaddy’s boy, and his close friend of Ava (Nadine). The two only meet during summer.
Del Rosario said that film shows how the central characters hold on to their relationship even if they are miles away from each other.
James says, “I guess this movie, it’s more focused on the love, the relationship. It goes deeper into relationships like long distance relationship. I can’t say it’s more mature ’coz its very light. So easy to watch. Kissing scenes? Let’s see. We can’t beat ‘OTWOL."
