Liza Soberano’s debut Hollywood film, “Lisa Frankenstein,” unveiled its official trailer ahead of its theatrical release on Feb. 9.
The trailer gives off a neon, vintage vibe that perfectly captures the ’80s cult spirit. “Lisa Frankenstein” is a horror rom-com that will give viewers all the feels ahead of Valentine’s Day.
In the trailer, Soberano is seen effectively blending into the Hollywood scene as she dons the classic ’80s outfit and cheerleader suit, delivering her momentous lines.
Soberano will serve as a co-star with Hollywood actors Cole Sprouse and Kathryn Newton in the horror comedy inspired by the Gothic novel “Frankenstein.”
The Filipino actress is expected to play the role of Taffy, the stepsister of Newton’s character, Lisa.
“Set in 1989, Lisa Frankenstein follows an unpopular high school student who accidentally reanimates a handsome Victorian corpse during a lightning storm and starts to rebuild him into the man of her dreams,” wrote the film’s official synopsis.
The film was written and produced by Diablo Cody, who won an Oscar for Best Screenplay for the movie “Juno” and received global praise for his work in Jennifer’s Body. “Lisa Frankenstein” will mark Zelda Williams’ directorial debut.
Other notable cast members include Carla Gugino, Joe Chrest and Henry Eikenberry.
Soberano is known for her blockbuster Filipino films and TV series including “Alone/Together,” “My Ex and Whys,” “Just the Way You Are,” “Dolce Amore” and “Forevermore.”
The ‘Bagani’ actress recently celebrated her birthday, and her Hollywood friends took to social media to greet the actress.
