TIYAK na marami ang nagulat when Angel Locsin herself declared na hindi na niya gagawin ang “Darna” movie for Star Cinema. “Sana maayos na itong likod ko. Ako, naniniwala ako soon na gagaling din ito.
Mag-thank you lang po talaga ako sa inyo. Wala akong hihingin na anything, enough na ‘yung pinapakita n’yo sa akin,” say ni Angel in an interview na mangiyak-ngiyak.
Sa kanyang interview kay Boy Abunda ay sinabi ng aktres na meron siyang health problem kaya hindi na niya magagawa ang much-awaited “Darna” movie.
Kaagad namang nagpalabas ng press statement ang ABS-CBN and Star Cinema: “It is with deep regret that we announce that ABS-CBN, Star Cinema, and Angel Locsin have mutually agreed that Angel will no longer do the Darna movie due to health reasons.
Because of her passion, dedication, and commitment to the project, she underwent various rigorous training regimens for two years. “Unfortunately, this led her to developing a disc bulge in her spine.
This then limits her from doing strenuous activities such as stunts, liftings, and the usage of harness, all of which will be required of her for the action scenes in the film.
Aside from that, she will need to undergo rehabilitation and treatment…Angel’s health and safety are both our primary concern. Hence, the decision.
“Fans need not worry. They can still look forward to seeing her in a movie that she is currently shooting with Vilma Santos. Angel’s phy-sical condition does not prevent her from finishing the said project.”
When asked kung naisip din niyang mag-quit sa showbiz dahil sa sa-kit niya, Angel said, “Naisip ko siya, walang halong kaplastikan. Kasi ano pa ang ipapakita ko, at kredebilidad ko to eh, anong sasabihin ng tao diba? What’s next?
Pero kinausap ako ng ABS-CBN, kinausap ako especially nila Tita Malou (Santos) na, ‘Gel, hindi lang naman sa Darna matatapos ang buhay mo eh.’ May mga plano po sila so hanggang kailangan pa ako ng mga tao, hanggang gusto pa ako ng mga tao, nandito lang ako.”
Naku, mukhang magkakaroon nga ng chance si Liza Soberano to play the part. May forum kasi sa isang Facebook fan page ngayon asking kung bagay bang maging Darna si Liza.
Most of the commenters were saying na bagay nga si Liza. And we also believe na si Liza ang perfect for the role because she’s fresh, virginal at nakakaarte.
