She has a new director, Dondon Santos. Can he match the scare factor of her past two films megged by Chito Rono? “We want to get Chito sana but he’s busy at kung siya nakuha namin, matatapos kami, 2011 pa. Dondon finished the film in 31 shooting days within 6 weeks, which is how a horror film should be made kasi hindi ka bibitaw sa character mo. Bawat scene, pinag-aaralan niya kung paano gagawing mas nakakatakot. I made my PSG’s watch it at napasigaw sila ng Oh my God! Yung character ko rito as Stella, malalim ang approach ng characterization, mas buong-buo. It’s not a simple horror story as it’s about a mother na gustong mabuo uli ang family niya but the Dalaw wants to get alt her loved ones. I’m a widow, anak ko si Maliksi Morales, 8 year old brother ni Makisig. My abusive husband died in a violent car crash habang nag-aaway kami. I remarried, kay Diether Ocampo, and natira kami sa bahay nila na nasa likod ng sementeryo. Yaya niya si Gina Pareno na may third eye at siyang nakakakita doon sa dumadalaw. We also have Karylle as Diet’s past girlfriend who’s a revelation here as the main contravida, Alex de Rossi and Ina Feleo as my cousins, and Empress Schuck in a role similar to that of Maja Salvador in ‘Sukob’.” Kris says she and James are good friends now. “Diet has a remaining scene but he’s abroad. Deadline ng movie on December 10, so I asked James if he could double for Diet kasi nakatalikod naman ang shot. He said, na-miss mo na ako, no? Sabi ko, hindi, likod mo lang ang hihiramin namin. He agreed. Sa hiwalayan kasi, you go through stages of anger, resentment, peace, then aabot kayo sa point ng acceptance. So nandun kami ngayon. Lahat kasi ng questions about finances, na-settle na and I can see how much Bimby loves him and our son even said, friends na lang kayo. Pinaramdam din naman ni James na ready na siyang makipagkaibigan sa’kin.”
Does she expect to win best actress for “Dalaw”? “No, even if I gave it my all at sa dami ng pinagdaanan ko sa buhay lately, talagang mas marami akong ibibigay ngayon. But if I’d win, baka bigyan lang ng ibang kulay at babatikusin ang brother kasi appointee niya ang MMDA chairman ngayon. Rather, than winning, I want ‘Dalaw’ to make P100 million sa box office.”
Did Liz Uy really bust Pres. Noynoy? “No, she did not. My brother is 50 years old, kung anuman ang pinagdaraanan niya, sana let’s give him his privacy. He will be attending the premier night of ‘Dalaw’ at Trinoma on December 19. My sisters told him to attend kasi our mom used to attend all the premieres of my movie kaya kumikita. Now that our mom is gone, siya ang kapalit na manonood sa premiere night.”
