Bea Alonzo and Alden Richards to Star in the Movie “A Moment to Remember” under GMA Pictures, Viva Films, and APT Entertainment

Asia's Multimedia Star Alden Richards and New Generation Movie Queen Bea Alonzo will star in Philippine movie adaptation of the Japanese TV drama titled "A Moment to Remember" to be co-produced by Viva Films, GMA Pictures, and APT Entertainment.

According to Bea, their movie will have a modern look and a Filipino touch since it has been 20 years since Pure Soul aired in Japan.

"But then we're very lucky na nag-inject si Ms. Mel Del Rosario ng Filipino culture doon sa script. And since it's an old title, it was done in 2004, so marami na ring nagbago sa society natin, obviously, with social media and all."

Meanwhile, Alden revealed that he and Bea agreed not to watch the foreign versions of the film to show their own take on the role.

"Since it's an adaptation, we agreed to not really watch 'yung Japanese version, 'yung Korean version, kasi parang, siyempre, kahit papaano naman, kapag may project na ganito, there's always a comparison. What we wanted, as actors, to do our take on how we understood the role," Alden said in an interview.

"A Moment to Remember" will be directed by Nuel Naval.
