But I never had the chance to because he passed away when I was quite young. So honestly, it&#x27;s been really lovely getting to work with Liza and getting to reconnect with that part of myself.&quot;</p><p> Newton and Sprouse echoed their interest in visiting the Philippines, with Sprouse reminiscing about his previous enjoyable stay in Manila in 2018.</p><p>As the release of &quot;Lisa Frankenstein&quot; approaches, fans in the Philippines can look forward to the film&#x27;s premiere on February 7.
