“Pictorial pa lang with Derek, hindi na sinipot,” says our source. “Even when she did ‘You’re Still the One’ with us co-starring Dennis Trillo and Maja Salvador, she gave us headaches na dahil biglang hindi na lang sisipot sa shooting. We were trying to communicate with her manager about ‘The Escort’, but yung manager niya mismo ang nagsabi, sige, palitan nyo na. And so we did.”
Lovi Poe is very thankful that she got the project where she plays the title role of an escort girl who is figures in a complicated love triangle with an older man, played by Christopher de Leon, and a younger man, Derek Ramsay. “I’m so excited to work with both of them,” she says. “I’ve worked with Tito Boyet de Leon before on TV in ‘Beautiful Strangers’, pero siempre, iba ang movie. As for Derek, maraming gustong makatrabaho siya and I’m glad to be given the chance to finally work with him.”
“The Escort” will be directed by Enzo Williams, who directed “Bonifacio, Unang Pangulo” starring Robin Padilla in the Metro Manila Filmfest two years ago. As for Lovi, she has another movie which is already in the can, “Lakambini”, about Gregoria de Jesus, directed by Jeffrey Jeturian and co-starring Paulo Avelino and Rocco Nacino.
