CLOE BARRETO cried after the press screening of “Tahan” that is now streaming on Vivamax.
“Naiyak ako sa ganda ng movie,” she says. “Tears of joy po ito. Sobrang saya ko kasi hindi ko ine-expect ganun kaganda lalabas ang movie namin.
"Nakaka-proud. I felt, kasama ba talaga ako sa movie na yan? Parang hindi ako yun, a. Sobrang ganda kasi, kaya very thankful ako na napasama ako sa ‘Tahan’.”
She was aware they’re making a psychological thriller.
“But nagulat ako, hindi ko akalaing ganun kaganda ang resulta sa screen.
"Thanks to our director, Bobby Bonifacio, ang galing niya. Gustong-gusto ko yung eksena na para akong si Chucky!”
Chucky is the evil doll that turned into a brutal killer in “Child’s Play” that was a blockbuster hit so it had several several sequels, turning it into a successful franchise.
So, who knows? “Tahan” might have a sequel and Vivamax may also turn it into a series of thrilling franchise films.
Cloe considers “Tahan” as a comeback film of sorts since her first movie, “Silab”, was shown last year yet and it took a while before she was given a follow up movie.
Now, she is back with a vengeance as, even before ‘Tahan’ was shown, she has already completed two new movies.
“Yes nga po, bigla akong naging busy,” she says. “First movie ko pong natapos is ‘Fall Guy’, a drama directed by Direk Joel Lamangan.
"The second po is ‘The Influencer’, a thriller naman po directed by Direk Louie Ignacio. Si Sean de Guzman po ang leading man ko in both movies.”
Some quarters are now saying she is bound to be the new Vivamax Queen now that AJ Raval is said to be infanticipating.
But some folks are placing their bets on Angeli Khang and Christine Bermas as the next to sit on the Vivamax throne.
What can Cloe say about this?
“Naku, wala po sa akin yung mga ganyang title,” she says. “Basta very happy po ako na tuloy-tuloy ang trabaho ko at magaganda ang projects na napupunta sa akin.
"As of now, talagang masaya lang ako sa resulta ng ‘Tahan’ na nag-number one sa Vivamax, pinupuri ng maraming nakapanood at maging viewers sa internet, they say nagandahan sila.”
