According to the director, he read the script while he was on a plane back to Manila from New York and despite being jet lagged and exhausted, he couldn't put the script down.

"It's smartly and deliciously written," he wrote on X, adding that the plot is not something one would expect.

Paolo Ballesteros gets emotional over 'Die Beautiful' - Poster & Trailer

Paolo Ballesteros got emotional as he posts the teaser for "Die Beautiful" on his Instagram account. The Jun Lana-directed independent film is his first starring role. The movie also showcases his talents in "transformations" that he has shown the world through social media.

"Can't help but feel emotional, teary-eyed (talaga o baka baha ng luha) seeing this film and Trisha come alive," he wrote in the caption of the teaser.

The 33-year-old actor and TV host first transformed in the public eye through "Eat Bulaga's" mock beauty pageants where he wowed everyone with his very feminine looks once made up as a woman. He eventually tried doing his own make-up since his transformations became frequent, and transforming into the faces of famous local and international celebrities became a forte.

"Its hard enough to be the lead in a film, much more to play such a character (blisters from hours and hours of packaging tape, packaging tape for junjun) and to do your own makeup transformations (and adjust it yourself on set infront of the camera at 3am in the morning)," he recalled the pains he went through while shooting the film.

It was a happy experience, however, for him especially that the people he worked with gave their heart and soul for they were inspired with the story that the world will soon see.

"It was always a happy set. Too happy that i was always looking forward to the next day of filming. Its because Everyone (From direk Jun to utility) gave his heart and soul to this film. Endured everything because Everyone was inspired with what a beautiful story we have to tell. To Everyone thank you (alam nyo na mga mem). We can't wait to show you our Beautiful film. World Premiere soon," he wrote.

Check out the teaser of "Die Beautiful" below.

Maricel Soriano Topbills Regal's "Yesterday Today Tomorrow"

Maricel Soriano comes out after "hiding" for some time. News came out that she was trying to evade the criminal case filed against her by her househelps who claim to have been physical abused by the actress.

Maricel denied the allegations saying it wasn't true that she physically abused them. She explained her sudden disappearance as due to the passing away of her mother. She needed some time off, but now she's back to do a new movie with Regal Entertainment.

She will topbill the upcoming film entitled Yesterday Today Tomorrow which is also Regal's entry to the 2011 Metro Manila Film Festival.

The movie is not a remake of the 80s film Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow which was also produced by Regal. This MMFF entry is an entirely new film to be helmed by the award-winning director Jun Lana.

Maricel will play opposite Gabby Concepcion in Yesterday Today Tomorrow. The team-up of the two is exciting. They both belong to the most popular loveteams of the 80s and this movie will also be a test if they still have that charm to lure moviegoers to watch them.

Others in the cast of Yesterday Today Tomorrow are Dennis Trillo, Lovi Poe, Carla Abellana, Agot Isidro, Paulo Avelino, Eula Caballero, Solenn Heussaff and Jericho Rosales.
