The graphic novel was released in 2001. Aside from Regal Films, Star Cinema was also interested in adapting the novel for film. Rumor has it that this would be a great follow-up for Ai-Ai Delas Alas after her first record-breaking film. When the rights were awarded to Regal, Star Cinema then came up with Volta.
The movie does have it's moments. Those who have not yet read the novel find the movie entertainingly different. Those who have read and re-read the graphic novel, and know it by heart will find the film very disappointing. One thing because, due to the film's targeted audience, adult and naughty language from the graphic novel were deleted, if not, toned really down.
