<p>MANILA -- Six years after the success of “Hintayan ng Langit” in 2018, award-winning director Dan Villegas is making his highly anticipated return to the big screen with “Uninvited.”</p><p>Director Antoinette Jadaone shared her excitement with a snippet of Villegas directing Vilma Santos-Recto for a scene. </p><p>“I see him every night studying his scenes, preparing his shots, making sure he&#x27;s more than ready for the shoot the next day. Here&#x27;s a convo before another take with the @rosavilmasantosrecto, who he casually directs as if she&#x27;s not the iconic actress that she is. From our POV though, it&#x27;s a pleasure seeing him again in a film set, that missed him so much, too. I just know &#x27;Uninvited&#x27; will be nothing short of amazing,” she said in her Instagram post.</p><p>“Maligayang pagbabalik sa pelikula, @danvillegas. So proud of you!” she added. </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DAQ53muTqy2/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fnews-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A18224495%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1148" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Before his film comeback, Villegas directed several TV series such as &quot;Almost Paradise&quot; and &quot;Replacing Chef Chico.&quot; </p><p>He also produced for other filmmakers in works like &quot;The Missing,&quot; &quot;Kono Basho,&quot; and &quot;Rookie,&quot; among others.</p><div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/2024/9/19/vilma-santos-aga-muhlach-nadine-lustre-to-headline-upcoming-movie-uninvited-1821" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Vilma Santos, Aga Muhlach, Nadine Lustre to headline upcoming movie &#x27;Uninvited&#x27;</a></div><div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/2024/9/26/vilma-santos-drops-throwback-photo-with-nadine-lustre-1751" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Vilma Santos drops throwback photo with Nadine Lustre</a></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO:</strong></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IVDiyt1A548?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div>
