Lisa Frankenstein is going to have a February 9 release in the US via
Universal Pictures International and they held an advanced screening in
Hollywood and a celebrity screening in the Philippines which we got to
attend a few days ago.
I'm sure a lot of Filipinos have been
waiting for this as this counts as Liza's first Hollywood film, and the
interesting back stories through interviews even made it even extra
fascinating. During the celebrity screening, James Reid was very happy about how things turned out and how Liza Soberano is reaping the benefits of her hard work in this movie. He wasn't willing to give some details of what other plans they have for her or what Liza is actually doing after Lisa Frankenstein. He just gave us the sweet look LOL. Aside from that, he wasn't aware that Enrique Gil was attending the celebrity premiere, but when the press told him about it, he was surprised and happy too. Here's the interview we had with him before the movie:
James also went to the event with supportive girlfriend Yssa Pressman who also obliged the press with an interview about her man James.
Meanwhile, Liza Soberano attended the Hollywood premiere together with the film's stars Kathryn Newton and Cole Sprouse. To tell you honestly, Liza looks different in the film. Lisa Frankenstein felt well made. It reminds me of those films that La Lohan used to make, and it begs another installment because of the various twists it introduced (which may grow a following since Cole Sprouse aka Frankenstein is adorable). Liza asked Cole about the feeling she had in making this film because it was pleasant, she didn't get to be a nervous wreck working with the actors and production (some of which have been doing this for years). Cole told her it was what he felt too, and that says a lot about the people she's with in the movie.
This project had so many femme energy. Diablo Cody wrote and produced this, and even if this is Zelda Williams' directorial debut (she's Robin Williams' daughter), she got lauded by the crew and cast with her work. This also stars Carla Gugino, Joe Chrest and Henry Eikenberry (whom you might like too, I've seen him model). Liza Soberano's role was not in any way a bit role, but I don't want to spoil it. You've got to take the patience with how the story is developed because this is a slow burn, but I assure you, YOU WILL LOVE IT. It talks about family, love, romance, the 80's, great music, Moms, best friends, and fun. I felt Kahtryn Newton's role especially when she's a bit crazy (just like me). This film is out NOW in theaters nationwide, so go catch it and get tickets early.
For the naysayers that said it wouldn't happen, this proves you wrong... and I hope you watch LIZA SOBERANO shine and make her dreams come true, one film at a time!
Dubbed as one of the prettiest faces in the world, Liza Soberano is set to do a new YouTube series called "Liza in Korea". If you've been following her recent appearances in Korean shows, she's always said how much she adored Korean drama, artists, idols and KPOP music too.
The series premiere will happen on September 13th at 8PM and the consecutive Wednesdays thereafter in this 15 episode cultural and experiential tour of the land of the morning calm. This will of course be extra sweet because we'll all be seeing it through the eyes of Liza. Also in the show will be several businesses and individuals who's stories will also inspire more people through the digital production.
She will also be doing the actual narration, so you will feel like you're traveling with her and experiencing the things she's just beginning to discover. Liza will also share her experiences about entrepreneurship (with Lacimer) and talk about how it could be a viable way to improve lives in our home soil, which is pretty new to see coming from the beautiful actress.
The first few episodes will be very exciting as she talks to top Korean content creators, the media, big networks, even a trip to world famous Lotteworld, even learn from top Korean choreographers so Liza can do a few KPOP dance numbers on the YouTube series.
To get you more excited, here's a teaser from the show!
For those who want to see the series when it comes out, go and subscribe via the PHH TV YouTube channel here. You may opt to see it on IG via the Lacimer official account which you can find here. If you're excited about what Liza Soberano is doing in Korea, this certainly will get you acquainted with what she's been up to these past few months. I'm sure just like me, you really miss her!
I missed this event but of course, we love Liza Soberano that we had to tell you about it.
Just like the new Jollibee Crispy Spice Fries, she's adventurous, likeable, and no other face was considered for it. They obviously wanted Liza for this, and for her to be part of the roster of celebrities that endorsed Jollibee (according to their Senior Marketing Manager Kay Segismundo), I couldn't agree more. Actually, when they said she was one of the country's most beautiful faces, I disagreed, because she's one of the most beautiful faces in THE WORLD hehe.
Liza also wanted spicy stuff and it's what she always enjoys with friends and family, so when the offer was presented to her, she immediately agreed. The 90's themed commercial also already went out, have you seen it? If not, you should. Although there were some Twitter bashing later on, she was very humble and showed concern, I was so impressed on how she handled all that.
You'll love the new Jollibee Crispy Spice Fries like you loved Liza Soberano. I did! It's quite cheap at 49 and 69 pesos!
Today is such a good day for #LizQuen fans as Liza Soberano and Enrique Gil star in their more matured BlackSheep (indie arm of Star Cinema) produced movie called Alone/Together. This is directed by Antoinette Jadaone which has several hits in her belt. First impressions on the trailer had everyone talking, it was cerebral, definitely more matured take on the pairing.
I’m sure I am not alone thinking about the movies plot, because until now the teasers only give us vague storylines depicting a relationship that didn’t work out, or did it?
Antoinette Jadaone says “Yes it was intentional to actually keep that a mystery because it is just a teaser. We will be coming out with a trailer that will contain more sense in the premise of the story. The first five sequences were done 5 years ago and I adjusted it to something to be told now. Not really millennial but the overall treatment. I think the hardest part is bringing life to the story, it is something close to my heart because it is about UP, it’s a about my youth and how I could get my feelings out how I wrote it. This is like a love letter to my young self. I am so grateful how committed Christine and Raf even before we started shooting. I only wanted to tell the story, but during workshops, they would ask me for more how eager they were to learn about their character. As a movie fan, I have seen their romcoms but when I worked with them, they are very young actors, but very smart when they ask questions doing scenes. For young people who need to play matured characters, it’s a gift and they could do it. They know the characters and I trust them. It’s not just based on what the director wants them to do. Every movie requires a different process, the way I work is different and since it is my first time to work with them, I included them on my research, she needed to be with UP students. Enrique had to work real doctors and it wasn’t simple.”
Liza says “I would observe how UP students would talk, we ate at Area 2, went around IKOT, even had scenes with real UP students. You know I don’t even think of how it would go viral but in that particular scene it was really sincere. You will find out what it means when you get to watch the movie. The biggest challenge was maturity, I am not that point yet to have experience that level of pain and I had to think of how it were to happen to me. Magaling sya magtagalog sobra. Handa na akong masaktan this February. I really thought she was giving us freedom, but she was just trusting us. I worked with other directors but I felt it was more of a collaboration, fun and exciting to work with Direk. She was so sweet. It was even so cold in New York but she even made us feel warm. I interviewed art study students, I had to relate it with how hey do it in real life and they will be disappointed if it doesn’t become believable on screen, I always had that in mind when they talked to me. This had a risk in it, it is completely different from what we have been doing in the past. We did romcoms and lighter ones, I am proud to have said yes even if we knew how difficult this would be. Medyo may takot since it is a comeback film, I am also afraid how this would be accepted by the fans and people if they will still watch this film. They will remember their struggles in college days, I hope they realize they are more than their mistakes and there is always a way to turn it around, into something even better.”
Enrique says “I am a doctor here, I do work with doctors in the barrios, it made me change my mind about them, going through school, it helped a lot seeing students and shooting in campus. Being a doctor was a challenge, I am not really good with seeing blood, the switching of Raf from different timelines. I think there is some hope, I think it is why she is my great love. Direk is so cool because she lets you feel the scene, she gives inputs and understand things as we go. It was a different experience working with her but I really like it. We had three scripts and when we read this we really wanted to know the story. The slides we were shown had what people go through everyday. I think the crucial timeline and moments in between, it is in this movie. A lot of young adults do not know what to do with their lives about what they want to do and what their parents do. It’s a little taste of that past memory.”
This shows February 13, the perfect Valentines Day movie, single or not lol!
Samsung actually released a teaser but now you know who’s going to be the newest endorser.

Yes ladies and gentlemen, he’s now the newest endorser and will be with Samsung together with his real life sweetheart Liza Soberano. When he made the commercial, he laments they were very tired but totally had fun shooting it.
Now that Enrique is here, would there be a possibility that he will have a commercial with Liza? I bet! I wonder when that would happen? Stay tuned as Samsung Philippines think of ways how to make LizQuen a staple!
The Samsung Galaxy J series has impressed a lot of people lately that it made their choice for a primary phone. I couldn’t blame them though because it has been the best as far as mid range phone goes as it’s got the efficient HD camera, a battery that can last the whole day, and the capability to process tasks unprecedented in the phones on this price range.

Liza wasn’t in the event but she gave a message, to start #LizChelle. They’re now in the new TVC with Michelle Vito and as Liza puts it, it was doubly fun!
She says “This project is special for me abd Hopie, you know how we do things together, how we keep our moments together. It’s a way to bond, I’m excited to share with you our TVC of the J7+ and J7 Pro. The pro dual and great night camera, the nice photos we can take with it is just priceless!”

We're at the My Ex and Whys blogcon today with the cast, the director and the young writers of the film. Talking to the writer Jancy Nicolas first, he says the story was made for this generation and social media, even blogging is included in this fresh approach by Direk Cathy. They even made www.myexandwhys.ph as a microsite for everything about the film and got official book published as "The Book of Bakits". The infamous line by Liza Soberano was explained and he said "It was hard to imagine for Liza to say those lines for obvious reasons and perhaps the rawness could get away with it because we all go throught that, asking those questions are quite normal after a breakup."
P.S. Enrique and Liza will be at SM Manila and Fairview Terraces this weekend and they know how busy they will be!
Direk Cathy quirps "Liza was different back then, she was nervous, she was a black canvass and needed direction. Now she's matured, different, she's learned a lot in 2 years. Quen was already an actor prior to me directing him. I was in ASAP a few years ago, Enrique was there but he had his tounge twisted, but he was already good back then. Now they have a lot of experience, and their willingness to learn, the willingness to take emotion and new characters, it was just right to have them in this film. I like LizQuen because they are open, they are giving, and they don't tell off anyone even the artists."
Enrique (even if he's under the weather) says "Direk Cathy is very deep, I felt we had fun in this project because she's inspired while we were doing this. We could feel how we could work with her easy because now it's more personal. You take in consideration how long we have worked as a team and I use it now, it hurts more, and time is spent well in this film. When something new happens in life, it gets better. I like Korea because of the lights, like Myeongdong, so I vould wear tons of clothes, layered and eat a lot. I think I also relate more with my character because he accepts his mistakes, he mans up, even if he gets tired you move on and be more selfless if you are going to love someone.
Liza added "Working with Direk Cathy now feels like she's glowing, she's like very happy now. She lets us explore the scenes. Working with Quen, I was nervous in Forevermore, but doing this we helped each other in scenes and it's nice to see how we've grown over the years. She did a blog to reach people who got hurt like her, they're very deep and vulnerable. I would like to blog about travel, and if I was Cali it's more personal and her relationships. Shooting in Korea, I enjoyed Nami Island. I discovered that it's like so sad, you feel like you are in a movie, so gloomy and everything. I relate with Cali because of her love for her family, I'm not like her but she's interesting. I don't think anybody should be afraid when you fall in love. I try to also prove myself to a lot of people, being beautiful I appreciate that but sometimes when peope tell me I don't dance well but I'm okay because I look pretty, I try to dispell that by doing my best in everything that I do. To be honest, looks are the premier thing but you can't love someone who's ill mannered or not brainy. It's more than that, you have to get to know them personally."
Make sure you watch My Ex and Whys this coming week because they might be visiting theaters for block screenings come February 15, 2017 so don't miss it! Thanks to Dominos Pizza for the pizza (it's Liza's sponsor) and Grips too for the hair products (Enrique's sponsor).
If looks could kill, his would be a massacre. In a grand event in B Hotel in Quezon City, GRIPS Hair Wax and GRIPS Clay just announced their newest endorser Enrique Gil. He's one of the most sought after actors in the industry and people just can't get enough of him after the hit series with Liza Soberano, FOREVERMORE. Now if you watch that show or any show for that matter that's got Enrique in it, you know he takes good care of himself and celebrities like him never go out of town without fixing their hair. Now there's a more practical way to do it because of GRIPS Hair Wax. Remember when you used to just get out of the shower and just wear your hair as is? Well we shouldn't be caught with ugly unmanageable hair and it only takes a few minutes to apply this on, be formal or fun if you need to.
They also put this #EasyWashPromise formulation on it so you don't have to worry leaving residue which men like me actually hate. It also has Pro Vitamin B5 so it nourishes your hair making it strong, so you won't be promoting hair fall. GRIPS is available now on major supermarkets, groceries, drugstores and convenience stores in the Philippines for only Php 81.75. Now that Enrique Gil is endorsing it, isn't that more reason to try it?
Enrique quips, "Liza is my biggest critic as she tells me if my hair style or the smell of it is off, she complements me now especially with how it smells. Until now we are together in projects and they accepted me and Liza as a loveteam and as long as they need it, we'll give it to them. Liza is not materialistic and I know her priorities are far from material things, it's her family and she deserves something like that (talking about the gift to Liza). Whenever you go out, always be presentable with Grips!"
