In 1992, itinerant artist Bob Waldmire re-opened the Hackberry General Store as a Route 66 tourism
79_38
information post and souvenir shop on the former Northside Grocery site.
79_39
Waldmire sold the store to John and Kerry Pritchard in 1998 due to local disputes regarding the
79_40
environmental and aesthetic impact of quarries, which by that time were establishing themselves in
79_41
the area to remove local stone for use in landscaping.
79_42
The store remains in operation with a collection of vintage cars from the heyday of U.S. Route 66
79_43
in Arizona; in 2008, its owners donated land for a new fire hall to be built for the community.

Development
80_26
Erik Matti signed to direct a new Darna film in 2014, with Star Cinema and Matti's Reality
80_27
Entertainment co-producing the project. Matti stated that the film is aimed "to revive not just the
80_28
people who Darna but also with the people who will know Darna for the first time." Producing a
80_29
unique storyline posed a challenge to the director, as he did not want to be accused of copying
80_30
from other big superhero movies such as those produced by Marvel Studios. Matti envisioned the
80_31
film, to be titled Darna, as a coming-of-age story that is serious in tone (similar to that of The
80_32
Dark Knight Trilogy) but with gore aplenty. Angel Locsin, who played Darna in the 2005 TV series,
80_33
agreed to reprise her role when approached by Matti. Locsin was forced out of the project following
80_34
a back injury in October 2015, however, much to the consternation of Matti.
80_35
A teaser trailer for Darna was shown during the 2015 Metro Manila Film Festival, whose visual
80_36
effects were provided by Mothership VFX, the same company that worked on some of Matti's earlier
80_37
films. According to Matti, the teaser was released ahead of the then-upcoming 2016 election as a
80_38
ruse to make audiences think that Matti's next film was "politics-related". In addition, Matti
80_39
uploaded a teaser photo in January 2016 of a hooded woman to Instagram. Around this time, the lead
80_40
actress for the role of Darna had yet to be revealed.
80_41
Sources reported that Matti had begun principal photography on the film in March 2018, starting
80_42
with the "simpler scenes". On October 4, 2018, however, ABS-CBN released a press statement
80_43
announcing that Matti had parted ways with the network as well as Star Cinema "due to creative
80_44
differences", and that the studio was closing in on a new director. On October 5, 2018, Jerrold
80_45
Tarog came on board to replace Matti. In December 2018, Tarog revealed that he had begun working on
80_46
a new script and costume for the film, the latter he said would be "more practical".
80_47
Tarog has said he would retain Matti's vision of making the film a coming-of-age story while also
80_48
creating a more nuanced origin story that deviates from the previous Darna films and their source
80_49
comic, which he felt "rushes Darna's origins". He also added that his version will eschew the
80_50
"campy" portrayal of most Filipino superheroes in favor of telling a nuanced and introspective
80_51
story where the actions of the superhero have consequences in the real world.
80_52
With the postponed production of the film, ABS-CBN announced on December 4, 2020 that it will
80_53
develop a Darna TV series titled Mars Ravelo's Darna: The TV Series set to air in 2021 to star Jane
80_54
De Leon. It's said that the film will push through once the series is finished.
80_55
Casting
80_56
While Darna was still in development as a film, several actresses had auditioned to replace Locsin
80_57
when she backed out in 2015, including Liza Soberano, KC Concepcion, Jessy Mendiola, Nadine Lustre,
80_58
Sarah Lahbati, and Sarah Geronimo. Soberano replaced Locsin by May 2017. In April 2019, however,
80_59
ABS-CBN released a press statement announcing that Soberano had left the project due to a finger
80_60
bone injury she acquired during production for the network's 2018 TV series Bagani, and that the
80_61
studio had begun casting on a new actress. On July 17, 2019, Jane De Leon was unanimously chosen
80_62
from a pool of over 300 actresses who auditioned.
80_63
On February 6, 2020, Leo Dominguez, Paulo Avelino's manager, confirmed that Avelino has been cast
80_64
in the film. Tarog later confirmed Avelino's casting during a fundraiser.
80_65
Even as the film was reconceived as a television series, De Leon was kept on board to portray the
80_66
titular character for the series. On August 12, 2021, Iza Calzado was cast to portray the first
80_67
Darna and Narda's mother. Other cast members were announced on October 5, 2021, which include
80_68
Joshua Garcia as the male lead and Zaijian Jaranilla as Ding. On November 19, 2021, Janella
80_69
Salvador was formally introduced as the one who will play the titular heroine's archnemesis,
80_70
Valentina. On February 17, 2022, as seen on the behind the scenes photos, Paolo Gumabao joins the
80_71
cast of Darna with an undisclosed role. On March 1, 2022, Gumabao replaced Estrada for the role of
80_72
Noah Ballesteros.
80_73
Filming
80_74
Principal photography for the film began on January 19, 2020, shot at ABS-CBN Soundstage in San
80_75
Jose del Monte, Bulacan, However, on August 21, 2020, ABS-CBN officially postponed production on
80_76
the film due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a week after the network announced that it had "scrapped"
80_77
the project "because of the film's big budget () and the coronavirus pandemic."
80_78
On December 4, 2020, during the contract signing of Star Magic artists, it was announced that the
80_79
Darna film project will become a TV series in 2021. On December 21, 2020, during the teaser for
80_80
Darna in the "Together as One in 2021" video, De Leon said that filming will start in January 2021,
