The highly anticipated Hollywood debut film of Filipino-American actress Liza Soberano finally has a premiere date in the Philippines.
Dark comedy “Lisa Frankenstein” is set to arrive in local cinemas nationwide starting February 7, days before the celebration of the Day of Hearts.
Film distributor Universal Pictures said it is a “special pre-Valentine” release.
“Dig up someone special,” it said in its poster.
Liza plays the character of Taffy, the titular character’s cheerleader stepsister.
Filipinos can have a glimpse of her role in the film’s teaser trailer where Liza’s character gives Kathryn Newton’s Lisa an uncomfortable look and says: “That’s really weird, Lisa.”
The movie also features “Riverdale” star Cole Sprouse as the Victorian corpse who Lisa reanimates.
“Lisa Frankenstein” describes itself as “a coming of rage love story” about a misunderstood teenager, Lisa Swallows, and her high school crush, who happens to be a handsome corpse.
The two embark on a murderous journey to find love, happiness and a few missing body parts along the way.
