With less than a week left before the March 31 premiere of James Reid and Nadine Lustre’s ‘Never Not Love You,’ people are getting more excited to see a different kind of JaDine. From their cute and sweet preppy days, their latest project gives us a more raw and real relationship. We know five things about the film. Now let’s look at why it’s a must-see.
Written and directed by Antoinette Jadaone, “Never Not Love You” revolves around the ups and downs of couple Gio and Joanne, played by James Reid and Nadine Lustre. They meet in the Philippines as polar opposites, a bum, and a dreamer. They then leave the country to move to London where they also end up as polar opposites.
5 Reasons We’re Excited To Watch
Aside from the fact that “Never Not Love You” was graded A by the Cinema Evaluation board as posted by Viva Artists Agency on Instagram, here’s why we’re excited to watch JaDine’s upcoming movie.
1. JaDine
The power TV loveteam and real-life TV couple are enough for any fan to watch the film. They always give people all kinds of feelings when they’re on screen.
They also give us a break from the cute and simple romances Philippine film is so fond of creating. Usually, there is little to no kissing in Philippine films today. But in the recently released trailers and teaser trailers, JaDine has had some serious lip-locking.
2. James the bad boy
It’s no secret that James Reid is easy on the eyes. But cover him with tattoos and every girl’s bad boy fantasy has come true. Add to that a motorcycle between his legs and a cigarette between his lips, James Reid will have all the girls (and maybe some guys) swooning.
James currently has no tattoos. But during the film’s press conference held last March 17, he opened up about his desire to get some. However, he’s never gotten one because his dad simply says no.
3. Filming in London
Part of the storyline is that couple move to London because of Gio’s new job. Unfortunately, that’s where their troubles pick up.
Instead of creating that English vibe in the comfort of a studio, the cast and crew of “Never Not Love You” packed up and left the country last January. At first, only speculations were running around. But it was confirmed when ABS-CBN wrote about James and Nadine being in London to film.
4. JaDine’s “Prom”
Like the song “No Erase” from their first film together “Diary ng Panget,” James and Nadine sing another soundtrack for another film.
“Prom” is one of the official theme songs from the film sung by the stars. They’re an actual couple. They act together. But apparently, that’s not enough. They have to melt fans’ hearts by singing together, too.
5. Not all peaches and cream for Gio and Joanne
Trailers for Philippine films usually focus on the happy and cute moments of the onscreen couple. But “Never Not Love You” is not like any romance film. The trailer alone showed Gio cussing and Joanne blaming Gio for her not so happy ending.
This gives fans something to look forward too because it doesn’t look like the typical Filipino film, which may mean a not-so-typical (happy) ending.
