Star Cinema: Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes in a New Movie

Story conference for the new movie starring Kathryn Bernardo,Julia Montes,Albie Casiño,AJ Perez,w/ Direk Cathy Molina

Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes will star in a movie under Star Cinema.

Kathryn and Julia are the lead stars of the #1 primetime soap 'Mara Clara' and now it's about time that they star in a new Star Cinema movie where they also play the
lead roles.

I'm positive it's going to be a box office hit, especially that the movie will also star their Mara Clara leading man Albie Casiño and will be directed by (wow!) Cathy Garcia-Molina.

Sadly John Manalo, also from Mara Clara, isn't part of the movie. It's "Sabel" leading man AJ Perez instead who's joining Kathryn, Julia and Albie in the film.
