Asshenti! Magic of ‘original’ Sang’gres to come back in February 2019
Asshenti (Listen) Encantadia fans, time to… ekoshme (charge)! The year 2019 is a good year for the fans of the original series from 13 years ago, whose ‘fresh’ eyes landed on the first series back when it was still airing on television can now finally cry tears of joy.
While a remake of the fantaserye was aired in 2016 and was also the talk on social media and the subject of memes, a different kind of nostalgia is experienced for many in seeing the ‘OG sang’gres.’
Adnes nesa aduwa iva (What is the meaning of this)? Speculations have been buzzing on a magic-induced project as early as January.
It was only in June this year when the original Pirena, Sunshine Dizon started giving hints on making this reunion ‘official’ through a series of Instagram posts with Encantadia director Mark Reyes.
Together with Iza Calzado-Wintle, Diana Zubiri-Smith, and Karylle Yuzon as executive producers under Director Mark’s Sang’gre Productions.
Just to add more to the building anticipation, Diana on September told Bulletin Entertainment “Tuloy na tuloy na (It is really happening)!”
Around this time, Diana reveals that the movie was already in pre-production stage, yet she made sure to keep her lips sealed. Instead, she segued by saying that after the show ended with flying colors and with a movie back in 2006, working with her Sang’gres remained to be a dream of hers.
“I miss our chikahans (talks), our fight scenes, our actings, so I’m really looking forward to working with them again,” she said in the same interview.
In a recent article by Spot, Sunshine was quoted as saying that their fanbase is still with them until now, many years after.
“Even our simple social media posts, every time na sabay kaming nagpo-post, grabe ‘yong likes and comments. Amazing talaga, May clamor talaga ang fans na magsama-sama kami (we post at the same time, the likes and comments are overwhelming. It is really amazing, There really is clamor from the fans for us to be together again),” she said.
But will the four sisters be back together in their elemental outfits and Enchanta-trained tongues in the land of Enctantadia?
Direk Mark’s production have been secretive about the project, dropping behind-the-scenes teasers with carefully-picked hashtags.
However, on a latest post on his Instagram account, he posted a photo of the Sang’gres, saying “First official sneak peek photo from our #iflixoriginals movie. Watch out for the teaser trailer very soon. #newcharacterscoming #newstory #sanggreproductions #iflixph”
While a lot of questions are still unanswered, fans should mark February 2019 on their calendars, because that is the day that the Sang’gres will be together once again.
