Williams recently said in an interview that she personally handpicked Soberano for her role as Taffy, the cheerleader sister in the Hollywood film. She noted that the Filipino actress possessed the qualities she was looking for in the character.
“I asked her myself I was like, ‘Please, please, will you tape this? I think you’re right for it.’ And everyone fell in love with her. She’s most people’s favorite part of this whole movie,” revealed the director.
As read in the film’s synopsis, “Lisa Frankenstein” tells the story of a high school student in 1989 who accidentally brings a corpse (Cole Sprouse) to life. The horror-romantic comedy is inspired by the Gothic novel “Frankenstein.”
The movie also features Hollywood stars Carla Gugino, Joe Chrest and Henry Eikenberry, among others, and its screenplay is written by Diablo Cody. It will have its global premiere on Feb. 9, but Philippine cinemas will screen it in advance on Feb. 7.
Besides preparing for her Hollywood debut, Soberano revealed that she is currently setting up a US-based production studio and is preoccupied with seven projects for herself and for the artists she will be handling.
