Lovi Poe, JM De Guzman, and Jameson Blake are set to join forces in the upcoming movie “Guilty Pleasure” which explores the “complex relationships” between “three ambitious lawyers.”
Poe, De Guzman, and Blake’s new project was announced on the official Instagram page of Regal Films on Tuesday, April 9. The post also showed a glimpse of the leads’ chemistry as they took on a script reading.
“New project alert: Lovi Poe, JM De Guzman, Jameson Blake in their script reading for #GuiltyPleasure, directed by Connie Macatuno and written by Noreen Capili, FSG,” its caption read.
In a separate post by Capili, the screenwriter hinted that the film will revolve around the “personal struggles of three ambitious lawyers,” seemingly referring to Poe, De Guzman, and Blake’s characters.
“‘Guilty Pleasure’ explores the complex relationships and personal struggles of three ambitious lawyers as they navigate their way through love, betrayal, and revenge,” she wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Starring Lovi Poe, JM de Guzman, and Jameson Blake, written by me, directed by Connie Macatuno, for @RegalFilms.”
