00:00I'm proud to be a part of this movie and I'm excited to watch the people in this movie.
00:10It's something that I don't think I've ever seen in the Philippines before.
00:14It's a legal drama.
00:16It's a legal drama.
00:18We have court hearings.
00:20And then, of course, the personal life of the lawyers.
00:25It's something that people really have to watch.
00:29And then, when they watch it, because we're not...
00:33It's like a rear scene in our teasers.
00:36It's just...
00:38It's really a teaser.
00:39It's really a teaser.
00:40It's not...
00:41You won't know what the court is about.
00:44And I have a feeling that the moment that people watch it,
00:49it would spark a conversation after watching it.
00:53Wow.
00:54They wouldn't expect that this movie was about that.
00:57But the material is so sensitive.
01:00Yes, exactly.
01:01The material is so sensitive.
01:03How was it sent to you?
01:07Because you have a collaboration with Regal, right?
01:10Yes.
01:11So how did you decide that this was your project?
01:14That you were the producer.
01:16Well, I said, since I've ventured into producing,
01:23why not start, of course, with Regal?
01:25I've been a Regal baby since I started.
01:27Since I was a kid.
01:29And now that I told myself that I'm going to get into producing,
01:34and then we had that conversation,
01:36to collaborate,
01:37they're so supportive.
01:39I mean, I'm really happy because I'm starting out.
01:44I'm venturing into this.
01:47And Regal has been there for so many years.
01:50It's a very established production company
01:54And now, I'm partnering with them.
01:57I just can't believe it.
01:58And so, when we talk about guilty pleasure,
02:01it's something that I was attracted to.
02:03Because it's not the usual film that we would see.
02:08It's not the same concept, the same scene.
02:11This one, I would say, would spark a conversation.
02:17And would raise awareness about something that needs to be talked about.
02:23So, I would say, all the projects locally,
02:26I think this is going to be a good first film.
02:28But we know the feeling that this is one of the three movies,
02:33the last three movies that Mara approved,
02:36the last one.
02:37What's your feeling?
02:40Of course, it's sad that it's the last three movies now.
02:44But then, it's nice that I'm a part of it.
02:48The last three is that she's given the green light.
02:53And so, I'm just here, of course,
02:59because Mother Lily has been an instrument in my career.
03:06Basically, without her, I wouldn't even be here.
03:09So, now, I just want to do my best
03:13to show the people who watch this movie,
03:18especially because I want to do it for Mother.
03:21How many movies have you done?
03:23Oh my gosh, I can't even count.
03:27It's just the start, right?
03:29It's just the start.
03:30No one would even get me as an actor.
03:34Mother Lily was the first who said yes to me.
03:38What's your plan as a co-producer?
03:41What's your experience?
03:44It's colorful, fun, because it's very different to be an actor.
03:50You have a lot to think about.
03:54But then, you know, I'm blessed that I do more of the creative side of things.
04:00My husband is the one who re-partnered with Celebi Productions.
04:04And of course, he's a producer in America.
04:07But he's also our partner here, and he's guiding me through things.
04:10He takes care of the financial side of things.
04:12I'm more on the creative side.
04:14So, I take care of the stories, the concepts, scripts, casting.
04:20So, yeah, that's the fun part.
04:22I'm sure the financial side of things.
04:24That's so hard.
04:27Where is it now?
04:28I'm the one who's going to enjoy it.
04:30So, after this experience, what do you want to do?
04:34Do book trips.
04:35Of course, of course.
04:38I have so many things.
04:40I have so many plans, so many stories to tell.
04:43It started with Seasons.
04:48So, basically, I wasn't producing just yet.
04:53But I came up with the concept of Seasons.
04:55And I put together the story that this is how I want it to be.
05:00And that's where it sparked.
05:02And then, of course, Regal was very collaborative.
05:06Okay, let's do it this way.
05:11So, I've been wanting to record for Kino.
05:16It all came together.
05:18And then, when I watched it on Netflix, and Netflix acquired it.
05:22And then, we watched it on Netflix.
05:24I was just like, wow, this is something that I want to do.
05:27But I want to put more stories.
05:31And produce my own, you know, films and stories.
05:37How many stories have you made that are just there?
05:41That are just there?
05:42Well, right now, I actually have three scripts that I'm just waiting to cast.
05:54So, yeah.
05:56But I have talks here with Regal.
05:58Do you already have an agreement?
06:02Well, probably the next one, hopefully, would be...
06:07Because I have another one with Regal.
06:10So, it's a different direction.
06:14A different direction? What do you mean by that?
06:17Direction?
06:18A direction in my career.
06:24It's something I've never done before.
06:26I don't know.
06:27Can we see the teaser?
06:28Here?
06:33What's the title of the movie?
06:35The Untamed.
06:36The Untamed?
06:37The Untamed.
06:38The Untamed.
06:40But it's not out yet.
06:41So, it's in the title?
06:42Regal is also in the title.
06:44You're still a co-producer?
06:46Well, we haven't really discussed that one.
06:48Oh, okay.
06:49So, it's already started?
06:50It's already finished.
06:51No, not yet.
06:52It's just starting.
06:53Oh, it's just starting?
06:54Later.
06:55It's just starting.
06:56Although...
06:57I haven't really discussed it yet.
07:00But yeah, there are a lot of lines.
07:06So, for this year, it's not going to be released?
07:08No.
07:09Next year?
07:10No.
07:13So, the trailer for Guilty Pleasure has sexy scenes.
07:17So, how daring are you here?
07:19Yes.
07:21Has the movie come back?
07:23Of course.
07:24And there's also the Untamed.
07:26Yes.
07:27No, but we're daring, yes.
07:30Our scenes.
07:32But...
07:34It needs to be in the movie.
07:38Not just because it's part of...
07:41You know, usually when you do scenes, it's part of storytelling.
07:44And you know, it happens on a day-to-day basis with people.
07:48Couples and relationships.
07:52But this one, it is very important to storytell.
07:57Without putting it out there that I'm not a good storyteller,
08:04you can see the difference between a normal person
08:08who will have an intimate moment,
08:12the normal,
08:13versus someone who isn't.
08:17So, that's what the trailer will show.
08:21JM and JMC.
08:24Who makes love,
08:26and who doesn't.
08:28When is the movie coming out?
08:30October 16.
08:31So, it's showing us...
08:32It's coming out on the 13th.
08:35As a co-producer, did you pick who your partner is?
08:39Well, I had requests.
08:42Of course,
08:43I really wanted to work with JM.
08:48And then, with Jameson, I saw his work.
08:51And then I was like,
08:52Oh, I really like this guy.
08:53So, it's like a perfect fit for them.
08:57I mean,
08:58these are, of course,
09:00choices that you have to set.
09:03But of course, I'm very happy.
09:07I've seen their work.
09:10I'm blessed because
09:12they're both good actors.
09:14And they're very kind.
09:16They're very gentle.
09:18I don't know if you remember,
09:20is this your first time meeting a lawyer?
09:22Yes, first time.
09:23Okay.
09:24So, why?
09:25Is this a check?
09:27I'll be honest.
09:29I told you before,
09:30I don't want to be a lawyer.
09:31Why?
09:32Because,
09:33there's a lot of pressure.
09:34Yes.
09:35It should be credible.
09:37And credible,
09:38because it's hard.
09:40It's believable.
09:41It should be believable.
09:42It should be...
09:43It's different.
09:45It's a different kind of love.
09:47It's not just emotional.
09:50You have to be credible.
09:52You have to know what you're doing.
09:53You have to research.
09:55You have to research.
09:56But then, when I read the script,
09:58I told him,
09:59I want you.
10:00I like this script.
10:02And it's direct quality.
10:03It's believable.
10:05So, yes.
10:06It's good.
10:09Let's just say,
10:11the moment I got my script,
10:13I memorized it.
10:14I don't know.
10:15I sent pages and pages.
10:16And,
10:17I also have an acting coach.
10:19I have her come to the house.
10:21I would say my lines,
10:22repeated, repeated.
10:24And I swear to God,
10:25I kept repeating it.
10:26Because,
10:28I didn't just memorize the day before,
10:30a few days before.
10:31No.
10:32For weeks,
10:33I kept saying my lines every day.
10:36Really?
10:37So, when I get to set,
10:38I just pay off.
10:39When I get to set,
10:40I just say,
10:41one take, one take, one take.
10:42Oh my God.
10:43Just one take?
10:44Yes.
10:45Because every day,
10:46I would say all my lines,
10:47in pages.
10:48I practiced at the house.
10:51So,
10:52that's it.
10:53So, the lawyer,
10:54even if you don't want to do it,
10:55you already did it.
10:56The doctor,
10:57you already did it.
10:58I haven't done it yet.
10:59Really?
11:00So, that's one of the things I want to do.
11:01Because,
11:02every time I watch Korean dramas,
11:03I get a smile.
11:04Yes.
11:05There are a lot of medical dramas.
11:06There are cuts.
11:07Oh my God.
11:08Amazing.
11:10Is this Dr. Romantic?
11:11Yes.
11:12We love Dr. Romantic.
11:14He's so good.
11:15Wow.
11:16Daniel.
11:17So, that's it.
11:18It's like,
11:19oh my God.
11:20Next, what's next?
11:22But you haven't been an offer
11:24from a lawyer
11:25and a doctor
11:26that you already did it.
11:27No.
11:28It's my first time being a lawyer
11:29and a doctor.
11:39Oh my God.
11:40Oh my God.
11:41Oh my God.
11:42Oh my God.
11:43Oh my God.
11:44Oh my God.
11:45Oh my God.
11:46Oh my God.
11:47Oh my God.
11:48Oh my God.
11:49Oh my God.
11:50Oh my God.
11:51Oh my God.
11:52Oh my God.
11:53Oh my God.
11:54Oh my God.
11:55Oh my God.
11:56Oh my God.
11:57Oh my God.
11:58Oh my God.
11:59Oh my God.
12:00Oh my God.
12:01Oh my God.
12:02Oh my God.
12:03Oh my God.
12:04Oh my God.
12:05Oh my God.
12:06Oh my God.
12:07Oh my God.
