Adapted for the big screen by Carmi Raymundo and Charlene Bernardo, She’s Dating the Gangster is a contemporary Filipino love story for all ages. It revolves around the intertwined lives of a set of star-crossed lovers, Kenji (Daniel) and Athena (Kathryn) with major unfinished business to settle, and an unlikely couple, Kenneth and Kelay (also played by the two), who unexpectedly finds love in their individual quests to set things right for those who are closest to their hearts.
The past and the present are cleverly and creatively interconnected in She’s Dating the Gangster as the movie stays faithful to the storyline that made Bernardino’s novel a huge hit.
“I am very honored that Star Cinema has produced a movie version of my novel, and they really have given justice to the story for the big screen,” the author said in a statement. “She’s Dating the Gangster carries the universal theme that true love surpasses the test of time, while also offering an optimistic view on romance as it provides the audience with hope that they need not look far and wide to find true love—that it could be right in front of them all this time, all along.”
The movie also stars Khalil Ramos, Sofia Andres, Pamu Pamorada, Marco Gumabao, John Uy, Alex Diaz, Igi Boy Flores, and Yana Asistio. Veteran and award-winning actors Richard Gomez and Dawn Zulueta are also portraying very special roles in the film.
As part of Star Cinema’s ongoing 20th anniversary celebration, She’s Dating the Gangster opens in cinemas nationwide on July 16.
