This genre film attempts to unlock the dark secrets and consequences of their world, especially in a world where the truth is filtered and distortion is prevalent,” he added.The project, which marks Lustre’s first collaboration with Red, will be the actress’ second big-screen offering after she resumed her acting career this year with “Greed,” following a three-year hiatus during which she focused on music.Red, whose most recent release is the Maja Salvador-starrer “Arisaka,” will next work on an international co-production titled “Quantum Suicide,” with shooting locations including Osaka, Japan.
