Regal filmfest entries giving Mother Lily a Big Headache

MOTHER LILY was at the pictorial of Jericho and Lovi Poe for “Yesterday Today Tomorrow”. Lovi Poe seems to be a staple of Mother Lily movies with Aswang as her last project. Mother confirms that Lovi is now a big star. Apparently, there are even rumors that Lovi is transferring to ABS CBN.

“Nababaliw na ko,” she says. “Pataas nang pataas ang budgets ng two entries naming ‘Yesterday’ and ‘Shake Rattle & Roll 13’. Ang mga director ngayon, ang daming demands. For ‘Yesterday’, meron kaming earthquake scene na important sa movie. Direk Jun Lana was able to convince me to build a special set sa studio namin in San Juan. Ang ganda-ganda, pero wawasakin lang lahat kapag nilindol na. For the episode naman na ‘Lunod’ in ‘Shake 13’ that stars Eugene Domingo, si Director Chris Martinez also needs a special set showing baha-baha. So we have to build another set to be flooded with water. In one scene, isang buong kotse, ilulubog doon sa baha. I thought matatapos nila in one day, pero hindi, kailangan ng isa pang araw, so we need another baha scene na napakagastos. This is the most expensive ‘Shake’ we’ve done. Even the other episodes, ‘Parola’ by Jerrold Tarog (one of today's talented directors) and ‘Tamawo’ by Richard Somes na tungkol sa isang creature, magastos din. I told them, sige, we’ll spend, but they should make sure magaganda talaga ang entries namin. Take note, our directors are all young, but very talented, so I’m sure they won’t disappoint viewers.”
