Keep An Eye On JoshLia, The Perfect Match

What is the defining movie/serye moment of a perfect matched on screen partners, a love team?

Filipinos are hopeless romantic; we have a distinctive stance with romance novel, movie and tele-serye (TV series) including pairing up celebrities. Nowadays the viewers have more influence on who will be paired as a love team and it is because social media play a big role in fans and celebrity interactions.

With the official announcement of MMFF movies a few weeks ago social media (i.e. Twitter, Instagram, Facebook) hopeless romantics was frenzied when they saw the trailer from Star Cinema entry Vince and Kath and James. 

The Star Cinema’s MMFF entry stars Joshua Garcia, Julia Barretto, and Ronie Alonte, a story of love triangle but your attention will be glued to Vince (Joshua) and Kath (Julia) story on how it will progress. Same as outside this movie where will JoshLia, Joshua and Julia team up goes? Will Vince and Kath and James (VKJ) be the defining movie for the next big love team? Yes! I believe so, evidently, the excitement and response of the viewers to JoshLia are positively overwhelming. 

I have my eyes on Julia for a quite some time now same with Joshua, they both have that amazing potential of becoming big stars. When I saw them together in one frame I can’t help but re-watch it and I want to make sure that I saw some igniting chemistry. Yes, I did see spark that causes KILIG!

My gut feeling is telling me that 2017 will be a good year for both of them; JoshLia is born with this movie. If you are asking for signs of how good they register together then the signs are filling up every day. As VKJ movie director said in one of his Instagram post he took a photo of JoshLia to test superficially if they have physical chemistry and he is thankful that they have. I will just put a link to that post to be exact on Direk Theodore Boborol’s post.

#RoadToMMFF 2/25 This was taken last week of July during the look test for Vince & Kath & James. They tried different looks for the movie and since we were pressed for time, we did their screen test as well. I'm posting this picture because I found it interesting that even if they were not looking at each other, they're still oozing with chemistry. It got me excited to shoot the film. For RonLia fans, Ronnie was still busy preparing for the Hashtag concert so he would do his look test on a later date. To our surprise though, he passed by the studio to say hi and I got to take his picture with Julia for the first time. I will post their picture tomorrow. Meanwhile, you may enjoy the other JoshLia pictures in my IG stories. I will spread them throughout the day. #vkj #vinceandkathandjames #mmff2016

Individually there is no question for Julia Barretto and Joshua Garcia not to be successful in showbiz. Julia’s family name is synonymous to famous, the acting caliber runs in the blood but Julia is making her own footprints and showbiz statuses. She is gorgeous and talented; people who have worked with her are all praises of her dedication and hunger to learn more to be better. Speaking of compliments from co-actors, Joshua Garcia, will not be left behind as people working close to him recognize a great resemblance of him to John Lloyd. It is not just the physical appearance but his impressive acting skills is almost at the same caliber. He may or may not surpass Lloydie showbiz achievement but you can’t ignore the boundless potential this young lad will have.  He is still young and the world is his oyster, with that dedication I have no doubt that he is on his way to being the one to watch for as a great actor in his generation.

JoshLia is definitely a pair that deserves more projects on big and small screen, a love team with a fresh of breath air.
