'Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre' cast called by destiny to carry show's legacy, says GMA exec
For Cheryl Ching-Sy, Officer-in-Charge of GMA Entertainment Group, the cast of "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" was destined to be part of the beloved fantasy franchise.
In Nelson Canlas' report on "24 Oras," Wednesday, the Kapuso executive said the stars went through the most challenging selection process before finally making it to the official cast.
"Hindi siya normal na casting call. Tawag siya ng destiny kasi hindi lang naman namin pinili 'yung pinakamaganda o pinakamagaling, ang hinahanap namin ay 'yung mga artista na kayang i-continue 'yung legacy at kayang mangalaga ng brilyante sa loob man ng serye o sa labas," she said.
Director Enzo Williams commended the cast for the effort they put in for the project.
"Actually bilib ako sa kanila, to be honest. Bilib ako sa preparations nila on every shooting day na they go to the set," he said.
Overall visual director Rico Gutierrez shared that their goal is to deliver an entertaining project for the audience.
"Ang tahak namin talaga [ay] mabigyan talaga 'yung audience ng isang entertaining na show. Matuwa sila, ma-excite sila sa action, ma-amaze 'yung mga bata sa mga special effects. 'Yun talaga 'yung goal namin," he said.
"Sang'gre" is a spinoff of the iconic Kapuso fantaserye "Encantadia."
It will introduce the newest keepers of the brilyantes: Flamarra (Faith Da Silva), Deia (Angel Guardian), Adamus (Kelvin Miranda), and Terra (Bianca Umali).
"Sang'gre" airs on GMA Network from Mondays to Fridays at 8 p.m. after "24 Oras." You can also watch it online via the Kapuso Stream on YouTube. —Carby Rose Basina/MGP, GMA Integrated News
