DIEGO Loyzaga is returning to the big screen two years after his last movie project, the comedy film “Petmalu.”
Viva Artists Agency, his new talent agency, recently announced that the actor will star in a new movie opposite his fellow Viva artist, AJ Raval.
The project’s working title, it said, is “Loving Christine.” It will be directed by Yam Laranas, who is known for his movies “Aurora,” “The Road,” “The Echo,” and “Abomination.”
The movie is Diego’s first acting project after ending his showbiz hiatus this month.
He was recently introduced as the newest contract artist of Viva Artists Agency. In an online press conference, Diego said fans can expect more projects from him.
“This time around, I really want to focus on the craft, my acting,” he said. “I want to have a lot of movies under my belt. This time around, I want the public to watch me in a lot of movies.”
“I’m ready to accept sexy or mature roles,” he added. “Whatever the script calls for, I’m ready to do it.”
Diego, the son of Cesar Montano and Teresa Loyzaga, has appeared in a number of drama anthologies and teleseryes for ABS-CBN. He was seen in “Mirabella,” “Wansapanataym,” “Growing Up,” “Maalaala Mo Kaya,” “Pusong Ligaw,” “Mara Clara,” “Pangako sa ‘Yo,” “Ipaglaban Mo,” and “Los Bastardos.” (Push)
