ICYDK, Shaina Magdayao, Iza Calzado, and Alfred Vargas have teamed up for an upcoming movie with the working title: MNL-HK-NY (Manila-Hong Kong-New York.)
Written by acclaimed scriptwriter Ricky Lee and directed by Mac Alejandre, the movie will commence filming on August 7 as seen on Shaina’s Instagram Stories posts.
In an interview, Shaina shared that there will only be three characters in the entire movie and she described it as “actually pretty heavy.”
Shaina added that the film is about loneliness and three lost souls. Shaina said, “I’m taking it as a challenge again, because number one, it’s an honor to breathe life into a Ricky Lee character. Nakatrabaho na siya ni [Vina Morales], pero kami, hindi pa. So that’s why I said yes to it right away.”
On July 9, Alfred shared several photos during the movie’s story conference. He wrote, “Something’s up!!! So excited to work with two of the best actresses of our generation @missizacalzado and @shaina_magdayao and two of the most brilliant creative minds of Philippine cinema @macalejandre and #rickylee.”
