I got this news from my gossip buddy, Joceffvan (http://joceffvan.wordpress.com/) .There were rumors that the Philippines will make their own version of The CW’s hit teen drama series Gossip Girl. Here’s the list of the rumored cast:
KC Concepcion as Serena van der Woodsen
John Lloyd Cruz as Dan Humphrey
Anne Curtis as Blair Waldorf
Sam Milby as Nate Archibald
Luis Manzano as Chuck Bass
Angelica Panganiban as Jenny Humphrey
Well personally, I don’t like this to happen because Gossip Girl is precious to me and I don’t want anybody to make a crappy version of this wonderful series. Even though, it was rumored that ABS CBN will do the remake, I still don’t think that it is appropriate for a Filipino public viewing because some of the show’s episodes and themes are only intended for adults. I commend ABS CBN for doing such great remakes of Telenovelas and Koreanovelas such as My Girl, Only You, the upcoming Lovers in Paris and some teleseryes that have similar themes with Hollywood films like Sana Maulit Muli (If Only) and Tayong Dalawa (Pearl Harbor) but not this one. I hope this rumor is a hoax just like the rumored Twilight remake, “Takipsilim” with Rayver Cruz as Edward Cullen and Shaina Magdayao as Bella Swan.
Do you want to have a Pinoy version of Gossip Girl?
