"I saw Anne Hathaway. I saw a lot of producers. I saw Dakota Johnson sa '50 Shades of Grey.' It was a good experience because I got to network myself to other (producers)," said the actress to the press at her launch as the first celebrity endorser of beauty brand Hey Pretty Skin last week.
"There's one coming this year. I'll be working abroad. Hopefully. We'll see kung matutuloy. It was a beautiful experience and, to top it all, binili na ng Amazon 'yung movie namin. It's coming out this July or June. Siyempre and dami pang festivals ang kailangan puntahan na kasama din 'yung movie," she added.
The actress shared that she immediately said yes to the project when she was informed that it will be shot in the same house that was shown in the classic Filipino World War II movie, "Oro Plata Mata."
"Mahilig ako sa Philippine antiques e. I love Philippine contemporary arts so nu'ng nalaman ko doon pa 'yung shooting, kahit hindi ko pa alam 'yung storya, go! Kasi, you know, gusto ko lang talaga. I love collecting these things," she said. "I want to be the caretaker of our history. That's the reason why I'm so into this Philippine antiquities and art."
The actress is married to art curator Norman Crisologo.
"It's really unexpected din talaga. Naubos 'yung English ko doon sa interview sa Sundance!" Beauty quipped.
