Before they team up again in the primetime series “Endless Love,” Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera will star in their 2nd movie together with working title “You to Me are Everything.”

Their love team started in the Philippine version of the hit Mexican telenovela “MariMar.” It was a hit and made GMA-7 a force to be reckoned with in Mega Manila and even nationwide. Their second tv series “Dyesebel” was successful, too, breaking tv ratings records during its run.

Their third series “Ang Babaeng Hinugot sa Aking Tadyang” was not as successful as MariMar and Dyesebel understandably because it caters to mature audience. However, their team-up is still one of the hottest in showbiz as it transcends to magazine covers, print ads, radio and tv commercials.

Their first movie together was “One True Love” which was shown in November of 2008. It has grossed more than P50 million at the box office although it went head to head with the monster hit movie “Twilight.”

Now Dongyan, the moniker given to them by their fans, start to film their second movie together and it has a working title “You to Me are Everything.” Under a script written by Aloy Adlawan, it will be directed by Mark A. Reyes, the director of the Valentine hit movie My Bestfriend’s Girlfriend which also starred Marian Rivera.

Also starring in the upcoming romantic movie are Isabel Oli, Sandy Andolong, Manilyn Reynes and AJ Dee.

Can “You to Me” surpass the box office gross of “One True Love”? What do you think?

Although it’s not indicated in the trailer that Dingdong and Marian are doing “Autum in My Heart”, the falling leaves on the teaser trailer hinted that it is so.

It is said that GMA is eyeing for TJ Trinidad to play the role of the hopeless romantic Andrew, the kind of role that he played in the just-concluded Stairway to Heaven.
