KathNiel returns via ‘Barcelona: A Love Untold’ by Crispina Martinez - Belen September 12, 2016

The much-loved tandem of Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo returns through Star Cinema’s latest offering “Barcelona: A Love Untold.” Touted as this year’s biggest movie event, the movie marks the first teamup of KathNiel with director Olivia M. Lamasan.

“Barcelona” is the first full-length feature film of Daniel and Kathryn since their smash hit “Crazy Beautiful You,” and their first project together since their top-rating primetime series “Pangako Sa’Yo” concluded early this year. In “Barcelona,” billed an unusual tale of love, Kathryn and Daniel showcase their mettle and intensity as serious dramatic actors.

Daniel plays Ely, a young man who can’t get over his past love. Kathryn, on the other hand is Mia, a young woman who is rebuilding her life. They will meet in Barcelona, Spain where they will unexpectedly fall in love.

Olivia is best remembered for such classic films as “Madrasta,” “The Mistress,” “Milan,” and “Starting Over Again.” Under her direction, Daniel and Kathryn shed their teen idol status, showing competence in portraying authentic adult experiences, problems and emotions.

Also starring Aiko Melendez, Ana Capri, Cris Villanueva, Liza Dino and Ricky Davao, “Barcelona: A Love Untold” opens tomorrow in cinemas nationwide.

Mikee enjoys playing Lira

In the top-rating GMA telefantasya “Encantadia,” Mikee Quintos plays the role of Lira, which was portrayed in the original series by Jennylyn Mercado. The young actress admitted to enjoying the role, especially that it is involved in an important twist in the story. Apparently, Lira is not really the daughter of Amihan (Kylie Padilla) but of Pirena (Glaiza de Castro).

A newcomer, Mikee is grateful and happy she was cast in “Encantadia.” She feels pressure but Mikee stays focused.

“The pressure is there because look at her (Jennylyn) now, how big a star she is now. I don’t want to compare that much kasi iba-iba naman lahat when you attack a role. I tried researching din and nanonood ako ng dating ‘Encantadia,’ inaral ko kung papaano niya ginampanan si Lira. But then nu’ng dumadami na ’yung scenes niya, nag-stop ako manood kasi baka magaya ko siya. I focused on studying the script and how am I gonna give life to Lira in my own way,” said Mikee.

“Encantadia,” which also stars Gabbi Garcia, Sanya Lopez, John Arcilla, Ruru Madrid, Pancho Magno, Vaness Del Moral and Rocco Nacino, among others, airs weeknights after “24 Oras.”
