CocoJul in an action-comedy trope? We're seated for this!
As "Coco Martin’s Sigabo" gets closer to its much-awaited primetime debut, the anticipation surrounding Coco Martin and Julia Montes’ reunion is reaching brand-new levels. As if the comeback itself isn't enough to send fans into full anticipation mode, CCM Film Productions recently shared a behind-the-scenes clip, giving us another tiny peek into CocoJul's characters in the series.
By the looks of it, the scene could be one of the first encounters between Coco and Julia’s characters. The sequence was shot on a busy street in Tondo, with people scrambling around amid a commotion. Coco—sporting long hair—is spotted lying in the middle of the road, while Julia is standing nearby with a gun in hand. From intense action, the scene turns rom-com cute when Julia slaps Coco awake after he regains consciousness.
In the BTS video, Julia jokingly shared that she got a little "tsansing" advantage here, so now we're extra intrigued about how the full scene will play out.
As fun as it looked, though, Julia revealed that she was actually feeling extra nervous while filming. It felt more "awkward" for her because she was not only acting opposite Coco—he’s her director, too. "Mas nakakahiya technically speaking. 'Yung kaba ko doble-doble." The number of people watching the shoot added to her nerves, although large crowds are pretty much normal in Coco's productions. "Iba rin pala 'yung feeling kapag ang daming nanonood sa eksena," smiled Julia.
But despite the jitters, which expectedly come with the territory whenever actors are working on a new project, both Julia and Coco were thrilled to finally be back on set.
“Sobrang excited kasi na-miss namin ’to, eh. Na-miss namin ’tong lugar na ’to,” Coco shared. The Primetime King looked so happy as residents of Tondo warmly welcomed the team, with kids gathering around him during the taping.
"Nagpapasalamat kami dahil ramdam namin na na-miss nila kami. Kasi almost two months din na nagpahinga kami para makapag-recharge, mapulidong mabuti 'yung proyekto, mapag-isipan lahat ng detalye, mapaghandaan. At ngayon talaga ganadong-ganado ang lahat," he added.
Coco then expressed pride in ABS-CBN’s current primetime roster, saying it’s only going to get even more exciting once "Sigabo" arrives soon on ABS-CBN sa ALLTV2, Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, Kapamilya Online Live (KOL), and iWant.
