ABS-CBN released an official statement confirming the company’s decision to postpone the “Darna” project. In a statement released by Integrated Corporate Communications of ABS-CBN, their utmost concern is the safety of the actors and the production team.
Due to the fight scenes, crowd shots and physical contact, to continue filming will be a big risk given due to the ongoing pandemic.
“We are committed to following production guidelines under the new normal and the safety of the actors and production team is a top priority. However, because the movie requires complex logistics, crowd shots, and fight scenes that involve physical contact, it will be difficult to give justice to the superhero film while strictly adhering to the guidelines,” the statement said.
“We are still in the midst of an unprecedented health crisis that makes it also difficult to assess when cinemas will recover and see audiences returning,” the statement added.
Actress Jane De Leon expressed her sadness over the decision but said she perfectly understand that health and safety should always be a priority.
