Directed by well-known filmmaker Benedict Mique, known for the hit romantic comedy movies “Wild Little Love” and “MOMOL Nights,” “The Four Bad Boys and Me” will stream first for all Super Kapamilya YouTube members on July 29 (Tuesday) or 48 hours before its official premiere.
Anji and Gelo shared their excitement in giving life to popular Wattpad characters during the film’s mediacon on Friday (July 25).
Anji revealed that she has always been a big fan of the story and said, “Ever since grade 9 kami ng mga classmate ko, abang na abang kami sa next chapter ng story. This is a good story kasi madaming makaka-relate. I’m stepping out of my comfort zone in this movie.”
“Aside from the pressure na nararamdaman ko, sobrang grateful ko na nakasabay ko sila sa first project ko bilang aktor. It was a rollercoaster of emotions,” said Gelo who makes his highly-anticipated acting debut as the arrogant leader of the four bad boys.
River, who was dubbed as “Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition’s” ‘green flag,’ also shared that viewers will get to see a different side of him as the group’s troublemaker but protective older brother of Anji’s character.
Harvey, who plays the charming and mysterious type, and Dustine, the lover boy of the group, also expressed their excitement to bring good vibes and romantic feels to viewers.
Based on blue_maiden’s popular Wattpad that has over 326 million reads, the movie adaptation follows the awkward high school senior Candice (Anji) whose quiet life becomes exciting when she gets entangled in the lives of the most popular boys at school – Jeydon (Gelo), Troy (Dustine), Marky (Harvey), and Charles (River).
What was once a bitter relationship will turn unexpectedly sweet as the school’s heartthrobs fight over Candice when she gets a total glow-up as the “Ms. Campus” representative. Who among the boys will win Candice’s heart?
