‘Start-Up’ remake offer a no-brainer for Bea

STAR CIRCUIT - Ricky L. Calderon - The Freeman

Award-winning actress and box-office star Bea Alonzo hasn’t done a remake of a popular Koreanovela. So when GMA Network offered her to do the Philippine adaptation of “Start-Up”, it didn’t take long for her management team to say yes.

This is the first team-up of Bea with Alden Richards. It is also Alden’s first Koreanovela remake. GMA Network has yet to reveal who will direct the series. Aside from the remake of “Start-Up”, Bea and Alden are set to do a movie to be produced by Viva Films and GMA Films.

The filming of the movie has yet to be set since Bea has some scheduling problems. But she has no complaints. She has several projects waiting for her availability. What is most likely to happen is that work for the Koreanovela will have to be finished first before filming for the movie can start.

Despite the slight delays in her projects, Bea remains thankful for the work coming her way. With some stars hardly getting jobs during to the pandemic, work knocking on Bea’s door are blessings indeed.

For those who did not get to see the “Iconic” concert featuring Megastar Sharon Cuneta and Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez when it was first staged at the Araneta Coliseum two years ago, now is your chance to watch the fabulous show at the Marriott Hotel Grand Ballroom on June 17 and 18. Expect the same grandeur and spectacle the second time around.

When the concert was first staged, what was prominent was the musical collaboration between Sharon and Regine. They did not try to upstage each other, but instead worked to blend well musically. Surely, the loyal fans of Sharon and Regine will start saving money so they can buy tickets and watch the concert again.
