\u2018A hundred poems for Stella\u2019 turned to \u2018another script by Bela.\u2019<\/p>\n

After Piolo Pascual and Toni Gonzaga\u2019s box office film, \u201cStarting Over Again\u201d back in 2014, the love team will return for \u201cLast Night,\u201d a dark Romantic-Comedy film written by Bela Padilla.<\/p>\n

Bela in an interview said that she did not have a specific inspiration, and everything was born from pure imagination. \u201cBut when I decided na \u2018yung<\/em> (that the) script will take place in Manila, I really went around. I wrote a few scenes while eating at Caf\u00e9 Adriatico,\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n

However, she clarified that the movie\u2019s theme is something that she has always been attracted to. \u201cI still wanted to inject I guess something that inspires me para masulat ko siya nang maayos <\/em>(for me to write it well),\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

In an interview by Jeff Fernando of Bandila, Toni\u2019s story was that it was Piolo who first read the script and insisted her to read it. \u201cIn one-sitting, natapos ko siya<\/em>. Tinext ko kaagad siya <\/em>(Piolo). Sabi ko, halika na gawin na natin \u2018to. Gustong-gustong ko \u2018yung<\/em> script (I finished reading. I texted Piolo immediately saying, \u2018Come on let us do it. I really like the script)\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDito sa<\/em> (With) \u2018Last Night,\u2019 it\u2019s all about choices and syempre \u2018di naman kami bata ni<\/em> Tine para magpa-<\/em>tweetums pa kami sa pelikula <\/em>(Tin and I are not kids anymore to act cutesy in a film),\u201d Piolo said referring to Toni with her off-screen nickname.<\/p>\n

It was Director Joyce Bernal who gave the film a new name, \u201cLast night sila nagkita,<\/em> they want to last the night, ang problema<\/em> it\u2019s their last night (The characters met last night, they wanted the night to last, the problem is that that is their last night),\u201d she said briefly.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time for Bela\u2019s career in writing as apart from playing Maya Limchauco, she was also a co-writer of the 2013 film \u201910 000 hours.\u2019 But the 26-year-old refused to take much credit as she said that she was only able help in the conceptualization, as she had other commitments then.<\/p>\n

\u201cNahiya ako na<\/em>-decline ko \u2018yong pagsulat ng<\/em> script (It is embarrassing that I declined the writing of the script). But I\u2019m very happy kasi \u2018yong sumulat ng<\/em> script ay sobrang talino at nanalo rin siya ng <\/em>Best Screenplay (that the scriptwriter is really intelligent and wont the Best Screenplay),\u201d Bela told Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP) in an interview on January 2014.<\/p>\n

On 2016, Bela was the co-writer and co-producer of the film \u2018Camp Sawi, and played the role of Bridgette. \u201cNakakatuwa. Syempre may konting kaba. Sana magtuloy-tuloy na at marami pa akong<\/em> poster na mabasa na<\/em> \u2018story written by Bela Padilla\u2019 ([It is] exciting and of course there is a bit of nervousness. I hope this is not the last time and I hope to see more posters printing \u2018story written by Bela Padilla\u2019),\u201d this was her statement in a Philippine Showbiz Republic (PSR) article by Archie Liao.<\/p>\n

This 2017, Bela was paired with Jericho Rosales for the first time, in the film \u2018Luck at First Sight,\u2019 which was also written by the actress.<\/p>\n

\u201cNasa kotse ako, nakikinig ng<\/em> conversation ng<\/em> DJs sa <\/em>radio. Tapos naisip ko \u2018yung<\/em> title, dun nabuo ang<\/em> story. Tungkol siya sa dalawang tao na sinuswerte kapag may<\/em> physical touch sila<\/em> (I was in the car, listening to DJs conversing on the radio. Then I thought of the title, and the story just formed. It is about two people who get lucky when there they physically touch each other),\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u2018Last Night\u2019 is targeted to show on September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
