Diana admits competition in 'One Night Only'

Author: People's Journal

Diana Zubiri graduates fully from bold roles but she's not about to leave sexy altogether as she stars in the romantic-comedy flick "One Night Only," Octo Arts Films' official entry to the 2008 Metro Manila Film Festival.

Diana stars in this film directed by Jose Javier Reyes alongside some of today's hottest female stars Katrina Halili, Valerie Concepcion, Alessandra de Rossi and Jennylyn Mercado.

Diana is happy to be part of the film. "Pare-pareho po kami ng reaction nung una naming nabasa ang script. Sobrang nakakatawa po talaga at ito ang makikita ninyo sa movie kapag napanood ninyo. The theme maybe naughty but the way the story unfolds is really hilarious. I promise you, this is one movie you'll never be sorry to watch," she assures.

"One Night Only" is a comedy of errors involving the wacky shenanigans of several characters who end up in the same seedy motel called Lovers' Hideaway on the same night. In the movie, Diana plays Vivian, a romantic at heart and friend of Jasmine (Katrina Halili). Vivian secretly longs to be like her friend.

Since she is starring with an all-girl main cast, Diana admits to certain levels of competition among them. "Siyempre, merong competition among us, it's something na hindi mo naman maiiwasan especially kasi mga babae kami. But as far as relationships in the group is concerned, wala kaming problema sa isa't isa. I've worked with them na naman in the past. Si Katrina, at Jen kasama ko sa GMA tapos sina Alex at Valerie naman nakasama ko na rin. Lahat naman kami naiintindihan namin 'yung mga parts namin dito at enjoy naman kami sa mga roles namin kaya masayang pelikula ito. "

Billing is not an issue to her, Diana adds. "Kahit sino naman ang mauna or nasa gitna walang problema sa akin kahit saan ako ipuwesto. Hindi naman importante 'yun. "

Diana is one of the original picks for this movie that had a controversial casting issue when some of its supposed stars (from ABS-CBN) begged off from the roles. "One Night Only" is an official entry to the 2008 Metro Manila Film Festival from Octo Arts Films directed by Jose Javier Reyes. This five-in-one romantic comedy also stars Ricky Davao, Paolo Contis,Jon Avila, Joross Gamboa, Ogie Diaz, Chokoleit, and Manilyn Reynes.

It opens on Christmas Day.
