Demolition job laban kay Jane De Leon nagsimula na, ‘retokadang Darna’ raw

JANE DE LEON

GIVEN its long “refrigeration period,” kinailangan nang ipagpatuloy ang “Darna” project.

As early as 2016 pa nakaplano ang nth remake nito. Inakala pa nga ng marami na ilalahok ‘yon ng Star Cinema sa MMFF many Decembers ago.

But a lot of inevitable glitches got in the way. Nagbitiw ang original director nitong si Erik Matti citing creative differences sa mga taong nasa likod ng produksiyon.

Nakahanap man ng papalit sa kanya, pero sa ‘di inaasahang pagkakataon ay nadisgrasya naman si Liza Soberano habang nagte-taping ng Bagani who sustained a severe injury in her left index finger.

Realizing its injurious extent, walang choice ang kampo ni liza (through her manager Ogie Diaz) na tuluyan nang bitawan ang proyekto, mabigat man ito sa dibdib ng young actress na sumabak na sa pisikal na pagsasanay.

Sumunod na ikinasa ng Star Cinema ang auditions para maghanap ng replacement ni Liza. Pati ang mga advertising agencies were tapped as probably one among their commercial talents could fit the much-coveted role.

Lumutang din ang pangalan tulad ni Nadine Lustre, na interesadong gampanan ang papel. But it later turned out na hindi pala siya nag-audition. Maging si Sanya Lopez from the rival station confessed to wanting to play the part. But all this bogged down.

Finally, the search is over. Opisyal nang next Darna portrayer ang newbie na si Jane de Leon.

From her looks, she has what it takes to plat the innocent Narda (before the transformation). Pisikal na kakayahan na lang ang dapat patunayan ni Jane plus ang inaasahang acting talent niya para masabing she’s a total package.

Pero hindi pa man gumigiling ang mga kamera’y nasusuong na si Jane sa intriga. Retokada raw siya. Wala raw dating.

Kung publicity slant ito para paingayin ang project, we don’t find it necessary. On its own merits, hindi kailangan ng publisidad ng “Darna” which can be likened to a staple commodity na kahit walang patalastas ay bibilhin ng tao.

Pero kung isa itong pagsusulit para kay Jane kung matibay ba ang kanyang sikmura na sagupain ang intriga sa showbiz, so be it. She needs to go through the baptism of fire, ‘ika nga.

Given her age, wala na sigurong mas titindi pa sa pinagdaraanan ni Liza who was “blind itemed” to have been pregnant twice kaya sumibat patungong Amerika.

“‘Yun ang dahilan ng pakikipagmiting uli ni Ogie Diaz sa kanyang abogado the other Friday. But Liza’s manager would not say a word tungkol sa mga detalye ng naturang pakikipagpulong para papanagutin ang isang radio DJ named Kapitana Sisa o Glen Dy sa tunay na buhay.
