Alessandra De Rossi, Empoy Marquez reunite in new Prime movie
PRIME Video has released the teaser key art for the new Amazon Original Movie Walang KaParis, a romantic drama that reunites the breakout tandem of Alessandra De Rossi and Empoy Marquez, popularly known as Alempoy.
Walang KaParis is helmed by Sigrid Andrea Bernardo, the director of Kita Kita (I See You), which catapulted the pair to fame in 2017.
Viewers will be able to stream the film exclusively on Prime Video starting March 23 in 240 countries and territories worldwide, alongside the tandem’s previous hit film.

Like a compass, he looks for her in every girl he meets, hoping she will be “the one.” One day, a woman named Marie (Alessandra De Rossi) walks up to him and claims to be the subject of his paintings.
Produced by Spring Films and Viva Films, Walang KaParis—which literally means “no match” in Tagalog—is a play on the story’s setting, one of the most romantic places in the world, Paris. Singer KZ Tandingan returns to record the original soundtrack for the new Alempoy movie.
“We’re always on the lookout for great stories that are uniquely local and highly enjoyable, and we’re excited to work with more Filipino talents to bring diverse stories to Prime Video members in the Philippines and across the globe,” said David Simonsen, director of Prime Video, Southeast Asia.
