The upcoming Darna remake starring Liza Soberano encountered a slight problem in October after film veteran Erik Matti stepped down as its director]. Since then, a new director has been announced:
But we finally got some news for you all! ABS-CBN recently launched its brand new sound stages located in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan. (FYI: A sound stage is basically a large, soundproof studio that's used for filming). Plans for future expansion of the Philippines' first ever production hub also include backlots, offices, and production and post-production facilities.
Here's the best part about it: It's where they'll be shooting Darna! "Sound Stage 2" will be the home of Darna for the second quarter of 2019. After the studio's inauguration, photos of Soberano's future dressing room have circulated online:
