Actor John Lloyd Cruz is excited about his three upcoming films under Star Cinema, especially the one with Star for All Seasons, Vilma Santos.

In an interview, Cruz said that he's just waiting for the right time to work with Santos, since the latter is too busy with her duties as governor of Batangas province.

"Of course, nandiyan pa din ang pending movie with Ms. Vilma Santos, yun lang talaga, yung schedule lang talaga. But I understand, and we understand na medyo mahirap maglingkod sa bayan. At kung mayroon siyang kailangang i-prioritize, it's the people of Batangas. So, okay lang,” he said.

Cruz added it would be best for the governor to focus on her priorities as a public servant before shooting the movie.

The actor said he is willing to wait, even if it takes forever, just so he can make a movie with one of the country’s great artists.

“Ako, kung kailangan akong maghintay forever, maghihintay ako para makagawa ng pelikula with Governor Vi,” he said.

Cruz said he is still clueless on what the story of the film is all about since it has undergone changes by the director and writers.

Film with Gretchen

Aside from working with 'Ate Vi,' reports said Cruz will also be doing a movie with socialite-actress Gretchen Barretto.

In a previous interview with Barretto, she said she would like to do a movie with Cruz since it will be a unique team up.

Cruz agreed. "Dyosa ‘yon. Parang hindi tayo sanay na marinig yon mula sa pinakamaganda at nirerespetong mukha sa industriya, but nonetheless, sobra din akong excited na makatrabaho siya."

"Sana ay magkaroon kami ng pagkakataon na mabigyan ng magandang material. Sana ay paniwalaan namin pareho ang material para magawa namin yung pelikula. Sana ay matuloy,” Cruz said.

The actor said that the film might be produced by ABS-CBN's movie outfit, Star Cinema.

"It's a concept na nagsimula sa Star Cinema na nasagap ko, and ngayon, inaasahan kong mangyayari. Tapos pangarap ko ding makagawa ng ganoong tema, may December affair," he said.

Aside from doing a movie with Santos and Barretto, Cruz will also be doing a follow-up movie with pop star Sarah Geronimo.

"As of today, sigurado yun, matutuloy. So, abangan niyo at may parating," he said.

Cruz and Geronimo made headlines with the success of their first movie together "A Very Special Love" under Star Cinema.

Cruz, a member of Star Magic, is now busy playing the role of Armando in ABS-CBN's television series "I Love Betty La Fea" with his long-time on-screen partner actress Bea Alonzo.
