ALBERT MARTINEZ – Award-winning actor Albert Martinez makes a movie comeback through “The Housemaid” and here’s why he accepted this.
A South Korean melodramatic thriller film entitled “The Housemaid” was released in 2010. This is the remake of a 1960’s film of the same title. The film is about a housemaid who is working for an upper-class family. It tells about her story, her affair, and her revenge on the family she’s working for.
The titular role will be played by beauty queen turned actress Kylie Verzosa. Her character had done some “wild” scenes with the character of Albert Martinez. The veteran actor is portraying the role of a husband who will have this illicit affair with a housemaid.
In a previous article, Martinez talked about the scenes and said that he took care of the actress. Their moves were rehearsed and orchestrated and they have talked about how those scenes should be done. The actor said, “With Kylie it’s totally orchestrated,” which was different from the previous films he has done.
This particular film is accordingly the comeback of the actor. He’s been doing series for many years now but after many years, this will be the first film he will be doing. This is also the first time he will do in the middle of a pandemic. For the actor, this project is something he cannot refuse.
He had certain standards before accepting this adult drama. The actor shared, “Magaling ba ang director? What about the leading lady? If I like the material, I will consider doing another adult drama in the future.”
Martinez was impressed that Kylie did not show any apprehensions in doing the scenes with him. She trusted him and their collaboration, for him, turned out well. The reason why he accepted this role is because of certain factors like the interesting role and character offered to him.
The character is dark, challenging, and minimalist but he had to study and understand him so he can feel his nuances. He added as ABS-CBN report, “You need to understand what he’s thinking. That made me interested about the project.”
