"At some point, you know, when a good material comes along with a great team, it is such an exciting idea. It is already the right time. We are both in a good place in our lives. I am happy na magtatrabaho tayo ulit," the actress told Joshua during a media conference for the movie.

Julia described working again with Joshua as familiar but at the same time, a new experience.

"Para siyang familiar at new place at the same time, this feels familiar pero bago rin because parang when we're re-getting to know each other," she explained.

On what the fans can expect from the film, Julia shared it's a film about pain and healing.

"I didn't expect it to be super far from probably what we had all experienced in lives, not just him and I, siyempre but it's a very general feeling that everyone goes through," Julia said.

She went on: "There are some things that still linger so it would be a painful and hopefully a healing movie for a lot of people."

Director Petersen highlighted that the movie will showcase his own take on Joshua and Julia's tandem.

"I'm privileged enough to put my own stamp on a JoshLia film, just because I've seen all of their films together ... They could expect like what would be my take on it," he stated.

The director added: "Kasi as their viewer over the years, I feel like this films that we're gonna release this year is the film that I would see both of them to be making this year, kumbaga as an audience, ito 'yung gusto kong papanooring JoshLia."

Joshua and Julia first teamed-up in the Metro Manila Film Festival entry Vince and Kath and James.
