Your Song Presents latest offering, “Underage” starring Melissa Ricks, Matt Evans, Empress Shuck, Lauren Young, Valeen Montenegro, AJ Perez, Rafael Rosell, William Lorenzo, and Sylvia Sanchez will start airing this Sunday, March 1, 2008.
Underage was released by Regal Films in 1980 and was considered to be the launch pad of Dina Bonnevie, Snooky Serna, and Maricel Soriano as young-adult actresses. Joey Gosiengfiao originally directed Underage with story and screenplay by Toto Belano.
Underage will revolve around three young sisters (Melissa, Empress and Lauren) who grew up in the province, about to face a whole new world. Melissa will portray the role of Celina, the most confident among the three siblings. Empress breathes life to the character of Cecilia, the toughest of the three and Lauren plays the role of Corazon, the frail man-hater. As they bump with new people, their real journey begins.
Since the feel of the original Underage movie is quite sexy, the young stars will be taking on mature roles in their new drama mini-series. However, they clarified that the TV version will not be as sexy as the original film.
“This is different. Magpapakita kami ng konting skin. This is another step na naman. Kung baga inuunti unti na namin ‘yung paggawa ng more mature roles. We’re [not] kids anymore na rin. We’re still teenagers but we’re going into the transition of becoming adults na. May ilang ‘sensitive scenes’ dito kaya ‘yun ang pinaghahandaan namin,” said Melissa.
Underage is first in the series of Your Song Presents’ TV adaptations of some well-loved Pinoy teen flicks from the 80’s.
