PURING-PURI ni Direk Erik Matti ang kanyang bida sa pinakaaabangang pelikula ng Pinoy icon superhero, ang Darna, na si Liza Soberano. Balita ng direktor, tuluy-tuloy pa rin daw ang training at preparasyon ng alaga ni Ogie Diaz bilang si Darna.

“Grabe ‘yung change from a year ago when we started. That’s because of the dedication of Liza as well. She had to forego a lot of things,” bungad ni Direk Erik.

Aniya, sumalang na sa iba’t ibang look test ang Bagani star, kabilang na ang make-up at costume bilang Darna.

“We’ve had several look tests already in terms of make-up, costumes for the superhero and for the normal Narda costume. She’s gearing up. She’s quite excited and we’ve done several rehearsals already for critical, emotional scenes,” sabi pa ni Direk Erik.

Patikim pa ng director sa costume ni Darna, asahan daw ang kakaibang look na magpapaangat lalo sa kagandahan ni Liza.

“It’s more towards a fighter, a savior, a defender. Hindi naman pwedeng naka-leggings si Darna. We didn’t think of (conservative.) We only thought of what’s good for the role,” sabi ng direktor.

“Of course, with all the gender sensitivity now, we have designed something that is more of a warrior, more of utilitarian costume. Dati kasi bikini na parang weird din minsan, itatanong mo sa sarili mo kung bakit ‘yung superhero naka-bikini, ‘di ba?” komento pa ni Direk Erik.
