Angel Locsin chose a movie with Aga Muhlach over a proposed teleserye with John Lloyd Cruz when she was asked which of the two was her dream project. Angel said, “Kasi lahat ng ayaw kong gawin andito lahat sa pelikulang ito, as in ‘yung kailangan kong gawin dito sa movie. Tapos na-realize ko dahil dream kong makatrabaho si Kuya Aga [at] si Inang Olive (Lamasan). So naisip ko bakit hindi ko i-challenge ang sarili ko, ‘di ba? Tutal pelikula naman ito. Hindi naman ako as Angel dito. Bakit ‘di ako gumawa ng mahirap talaga sa akin tapos heto excited ako na kung paano ko magagawa ito.” The actress revealed that they had just been presented with the story for the movie.
As if anticipating the difficulties she would have to face in making the movie, Angel said that she already approached Direk Olive to say sorry this early. “Yumakap na ako kay Inang, sabi ko, ‘Inang ngayon pa lang magso-sorry na ako sa ‘yo kasi alam kong sisigawan mo ako.’ Sabi ni Inang, ‘Huwag kang mag-alala sisigawan talaga kita,’” she said and laughed. Angel added that they are already fixing their schedules so they can finally start shooting the movie.
Angel also said that there have been talks already about the possible story of the teleserye that she and John Lloyd will do. When pushed to describe what kind of role she will play, Angel said, “I think kung ano ‘yung gusto rin ngtao for me and ‘yun din ang gusto ko talaga.” However, there is no word yet as to when her supposed teleserye with Lloydy will start production.
The actress said that she is staying optimistic that her career would only get better. Angel said that only good things have happened to her career over the past few years, having done the critically-acclaimed TV series Lobo, which gave her an International Emmy nomination for Best Actress and a much-talked episode of Maalaala Mo Kaya which netted her a Best Actress award. “Oo nga naman wala namang hindi maganda ang binigay. ‘Yung projects na gusto ko ibinigay naman sa akin. Inaantay ko lang talaga and I’m very thankful sa mga projects na binigay ng ABS-CBN. Napansin ako sa mga ginagawa ko kasi dati hindi naman ako nano-nominate dati.”
Aside from her slated movie with Aga and teleserye with Lloydy, Angel is also working on the fantaserye Kokey @ Ako and on abother episode of Maalaala Mo Kaya.
