Looks like fans are already excited for Viva Film’s initial offering this year.
Talking about “Paglaki Ko, Gusto Kong Maging Pornstar.”
The teaser for the film garnered over four million views on social media just a few hours after its release.
One of its stars, the indefatigable Rosanna Roces, is not surprised.
She said, “I think nag-figure diyan ‘yung tinatawag na ‘miss factor.’”
Could be.
After all, it has been sometime since she, as with her co-stars, Ara Mina, Maui Taylor and Alma Moreno have been seen onscreen.
Osang added, “I think karamihan na nag-click diyan e yung mga taong matagal na kaming gusto makita.”
Maui, on the other hand, believes the excellent comic timing they displayed via the teaser also played a big part in its success.
“Siguro nagulat sila na nakakatawa yung pelikula kahit na mapangahas yung title,” she opined.
Written and directed by Darryl Yap of “Jowable” fame, “Paglaki Ko, Gusto Kong Maging Pornstar” begins with a man’s dying wish for Philippine sex cinema to rise again.
The man happens to be the founder of “bomba films,” and Ara Mina, who is like a daughter to him, promises to fulfill his wish.
Ara, Alma, Osang, and Maui, who are referred to in the movie as the “Four Relevant Women of Philippine Sex Cinema” band together to teach beautiful young girls, Sofia (Rose Van Ginkel), Agatha (Ana Jalandoni), and Twinkle (AJ Raval), the art of seduction.
AJ, the daughter of actor Jeric Raval, revealed her father didn’t know about her participation in the film.
“Ina-anticipate ko na na magagalit siya pero wala na siya magagawa. I think I’m of age and ready to do sexy films,” she said.
Note, her wet look scene figured prominently in the teaser.
But Darryl made clear, “Hindi lang puro pasexy ito. This is actually quite fun. I think people would appreciate this given the situation we are in. Masyado tayo nalungkot dahil sa pandemic. Siguro naman deserve natin na tumawa ng bongga.”
“Paglaki Ko, Gusto Kong Maging Pornstar” will be shown exclusively on Vivamax starting Jan. 29.
