<p>After doing projects like H<em>anggang Kailan</em> and <em>My Bakit List</em> in 2019, Louise Delos Reyes returns to films this year in the latest Vivamax sexy thriller <em>The Housemaid</em> where she plays the role of Albert Martinez’s wife. The film is a local remake of the 2010 Korean film of the same name. </p><p>“<em>Hindi ako nagdalawang isip. Sobrang mali kng pag-iisipan mong hindi tanggapin itong project na ‘to kahit anong role dito may bigat sa story. Walang in passing lang. Walang palamuti sa movie na ito. Nung binasa ko yung buong script, hindi ko masyado inisip na panuoring yung ibang versions nito pero alam ko meron siyang following. And meron akong film enthusiast na kaibigan at alam niya itong film na ‘to kaya alam kong yung mga critics ma-e-excite sila kapag nalaman nilang merong bagong remake na The Housemaid</em>,” she shared during The Housemaid mediacon last September 7. </p><div> </div><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned=""

So dinagdagan ko na lang ng arte, ng nuances, ng makeup para mabuo si Roxanne.

Kapag nakukulangan siya sa acting mo sasabihin niya yun. Kapag meron siyang suggestions na magbe-benefit both yung character niya at nung character ko, sasabihin niya yan and sasabihin talaga nila kpaag nagustuhan nila yung nakita nila sa inyo.

And itong project na ito sobrang challenging din siya sa akin sa craft ko kasi hindi ako madalas nabibigyan ng ganitong dark na character. Madalas binibigay sa akin either comedy or drama. Ito may pagka sexy thriller, alam mo yun. And na-nominate siya (referring to the original version) sa Cannes Film Festival. Sinong tatanggi sa ganung character? Lahat ng projects na tinatanggap ko talaga, it’s either mag-go-grow ako as an artist or yung talagang sasabihin ko na ginawa ko ‘tong movie na ito and I’m super proud of it</em>,” she said. </p><p><em>The Housemaid</em>, a Vivamax Original movie will be available for tsreaming exclusively on Vivamax  starting September 10.
