“50 is the new 20,” says the “Glorious” trailer from Dreamscape Entertainment.
Since the trailer has been released, the upcoming film continues to be the talk of the nation. It got 1 million views in 3 hours, and netizens had commented on how “steamy” the trailer was and even praised the chemistry between the two.
Angel Aquino, 45, and Tony Labrusca, 23, are not too far from the ages of the characters they portray on screen. The film features a relationship between a middle-aged woman and a man in his 20s. The characters are well aware that society might judge their relationship, and fear that their relationship would spark controversy. The trailer gives just enough information to hook the audience and encourage them to watch the film.
Some might remember Angel Aquino from her role in FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano, but this Gawad Urian Award-nominated actress has been making a name for herself for about two decades now. Tony Labrusca, on the other hand, has caused a stir on social media websites just this 2016, being a contestant on Pinoy Boyband Superstar and later on becoming part of La Luna Sangre.
The trailer has definitely been all over various social networking sites. The film has encouraged many Filipinos to speak about their relationship with the same nature, sharing their personal love stories with their partners on the trailer’s comment section on Facebook. Some celebrities have also commented on the trailer on their personal Instagram accounts. Netizens have reacted on Twitter as well, even getting to trend the actors’ names and well as the official hashtag of the film, #GloriousOfficialTrailer.
Lea Salonga also dubbed “Glorious” to have the “sexiest movie trailer,” and commented on how this film may possibly open the discussion on relationships of older women with younger men, as she believes it causes more of a controversy in society than relationships between older men and younger women.
Directed by Connie S. Mactuno, “Glorious” will be streaming this November on iWant, ABS-CBN’s online streaming service.
