The filming location in Canada for “Hello, Love, Again,” the sequel to the hit movie “Hello, Love, Goodbye,” was leaked, leading to fans swarming the set of the Kathryn Bernardo and Alden Richards starrer.
Despite the commotion, several videos have surfaced showing director Cathy Garcia-Molina allowing fans to take pictures with the film’s stars, Kathryn and Alden. This has led to even more fans flocking to the set.
In multiple TikTok and Facebook videos, fans can be seen swarming the filming site of the highly anticipated sequel, set to be released in November this year.
In one TikTok video, Director Cathy expressed her frustration as the number of fans continued to grow. “Sobra niyo na pong dami, nakakaistorbo na po tayo. They’re [neighborhood] getting mad at us.”
She further explained that the crowding might force them to halt filming at the location, which is critical as the movie is still incomplete. “Maybe we will not be able to shoot here anymore, which we don’t like because I still need to finish the movie.”
Trying to make amends, Cathy stated that fans could stay as long as they remained very quiet and took pictures “in an orderly manner without ruining the set.” She added, “If we don’t listen, if we don’t keep quiet […] you will leave here without seeing them [Kathryn and Alden] which I don’t like, I would like to give that to you, the only chance to see them.”
The director then organized the fans into groups to take pictures with Kathryn and Alden in an orderly manner.
In another video, a staff member was seen “rewarding” the fans for their good behavior during filming by allowing them to take pictures with the stars.
Eventually, the fans were able to take pictures and videos with Katryn and Alden.
However, another Facebook video showed Cathy looking stressed, responding to fans who wanted to go home by saying, “Nako, gusto ko na rin po umuwi.”
The incident also raised concerns among some fans about potential spoilers, as behind-the-scenes footages were also being uploaded online.
One fan commented, “Baka mareklamo sila ng community dyan haha bakit naman kase nileak ang location.” Another added, “Parang nai-istress din ako, baka mamaya may mag-leak na scene, maging spoiler pa.”
“Hello, Love, Again,” is the sequel to the blockbuster movie “Hello, Love, Goodbye,” which grossed a total of 880.6 million pesos. The sequel is being produced by Star Cinema and GMA Pictures.
