The grand press conference for Imortal TV series of Angel Locsin and John Lloyd Cruz was finally held last night, Monday, 11th of October at Dolby Theater in ABS-CBN.  Writers, bloggers and the cast were joined by chatter online at the Imortal website.  For those who missed the live presscon, you can watch the replay here.

8:12

ABS-CBN:

Monday October 11, 2010 8:13 ABS-CBN



8:14

ABS-CBN:
Vivian: Imortal came at the right time. Of course the directors and fan ako ni Angel so gusto ko siyang makasama. To be honest, yung Lobo talagang tinapos ko. So nung in-offer sakin ang Imortal, tinanggap ko. Actually gusto ko sana maging director but when this was offered to me, it was a chance for me to be with Angel and John Lloyd
Monday October 11, 2010 8:14 ABS-CBN


8:15

ABS-CBN:
Vivian: Sabi ni Angel gusto niya gumawa ng Indie pero depende sa materyal.
Monday October 11, 2010 8:15 ABS-CBN


8:15

ABS-CBN:
Angel: Ako bilang artista, kung may bagong project at kakaiba, why not. Nakatrabaho ko na si Ms. Vivian. Masaya sya kasama so exciting po yun.
Monday October 11, 2010 8:15 ABS-CBN


8:16

ABS-CBN:
Vivian: Mahirap kasing kumuha ng big stars to gamble with me pero sana mabigyan ng chance. That would be my goal.
Monday October 11, 2010 8:16 ABS-CBN




[Nicky's note: I believe the cast here were asked, "whom you will bite to become Imortal?"]

8:17

ABS-CBN:
Jake: Yung wife ko para habang buhay na kaming imortal.
Monday October 11, 2010 8:17 ABS-CBN


8:17

ABS-CBN:
Jomari: Sa story kasi umiiwas akong kumagat ng tao eh....pero sa ngayon hinahanap ko pa, hindi pa dumarating
Monday October 11, 2010 8:17 ABS-CBN


8:18

ABS-CBN:
Jaime: Ako kasi ayokong kagatin kasi masakit, laway-lawayan pwede? Yung girlfriend ko na lang nasa Australia
Monday October 11, 2010 8:18 ABS-CBN


8:18

ABS-CBN:

Monday October 11, 2010 8:19 ABS-CBN


8:19

ABS-CBN:
Angel: Yung bestfriend ko na kakakasal lang. [Nicky's note: I guess this is Lani,  Angel's BFF who recently left for the States]
Monday October 11, 2010 8:19 ABS-CBN


8:20

ABS-CBN:
Ericka: Maliban sa boyfriend ko, si Brad Pitt.
Monday October 11, 2010 8:20 ABS-CBN


8:20

ABS-CBN:
Nina: Sa'kin boyfriend lang din.
Monday October 11, 2010 8:20 ABS-CBN


8:20

ABS-CBN:
Vivian: wala akong kakagatin na mahal ko kasi ang kagat ay isang sumpa so kakagatin ko mga kaaway ko. :)
Monday October 11, 2010 8:20 ABS-CBN


8:21

ABS-CBN:
Direk Jerry: Yung syota ko po...
Monday October 11, 2010 8:21 ABS-CBN


8:23

ABS-CBN:
Henry: Matagal nang gustong gumawa ng ABS-CBN ng Aswang series tapos lumabas yung Twilight so parang mas napapanahon. Pero hindi adaptation. sa pag-create po nitong Imortal, dumating ito after ng Lobo. The creative team of Lobo suggested a sequel starring Angel and another actor.  Kung inspired man ito ng Twilight, somehow, siguro sinakyan namin ang kasikatan ng Twilight pero nakita naman sa pilot week na ibang iba ang story nito dahil pagmamahalan siya ng Lobo at Bampira.
Monday October 11, 2010 8:23 ABS-CBN


8:25

ABS-CBN:
Angel: Yung ginawa namin before, three years ago pa yun so iba yung technology. Mas young yung atake ngayon. Parang kapareho pero iba pa din. Panoorin niyo na lang po.
Monday October 11, 2010 8:25 ABS-CBN


8:25

ABS-CBN:
Angel: Medyo nakalimutan ko na e. siguro dapat ma-try ko ulit. Pero maswerte ako na makatrabaho ko si pj at si Lloydie.
Monday October 11, 2010 8:25 ABS-CBN


8:27

ABS-CBN:
John Lloyd: Since day one sinasabi ko unang una napaka maalaga niya. Feeling mo ikaw yung leading lady. She makes sure na komportable ka, busog ka. We can talk about anything, mula sa kotse, investments, sa properties, mga ganyang bagay. Hindi lang tungkol sa trabaho. So much more sa labas ng trabaho.
Monday October 11, 2010 8:27 ABS-CBN


8:28

ABS-CBN:
Angel: Nakita ko kung gaano siya ka-close sa family nya kaya nadagdagan yung respeto ko sa kanya kasi kahit malayo sya sa family nya sobrang mahal nya ang pamilya nya. At saka share ko lang ang bango nya palagi kahit mabilad sya sa araw. Parang napakalinis sa katawan!
Monday October 11, 2010 8:28 ABS-CBN


8:29

ABS-CBN:
Angel: Meron kaming martial arts experts sa set and yung mga director namin ay mga stunt man din. :) Marami kayong mapapanood dito na kakaibang action na ipapakita.
Monday October 11, 2010 8:29 ABS-CBN




[Nicky's note: I guess Vivian Velez was asked here about her personal life.]

8:30

ABS-CBN:
Vivian: Gumawa ng baby, I have 2 kids now. business, so yun. 2 years ago medyo nag semi-retire ako but i asked my husband to go back to acting. pero gusto ko talaga mag-direct
Monday October 11, 2010 8:30 ABS-CBN


8:31

ABS-CBN:
Direk Jerry: Sumusunod kami sa template ng master director na si Direk Chito. Kung ano ang timpla ng pilot week, sumusunod lang kami.
Monday October 11, 2010 8:31 ABS-CBN


8:32

ABS-CBN:
Direk Trina: Before kami nag-umpisa, tiningnan namin yung template ni Direk Chito and sinunod lang namin yun. Actually reunion namin ito ni Direk Jerry. Si Direk Chito nagkasama na rin kami sa "Bata Bata Paano Ka Ginawa".  More or less alam ko how he thinks and how he works kaya hindi na mahirap.
Monday October 11, 2010 8:32 ABS-CBN


8:34

ABS-CBN:
Direk Chito: The big challenge was how to make it different and familiar at the same time. You have to effectively translate yung world of vampires and werewolves and you have to make it work sa primetime. Maraming challenges. Nung last minute, we got a warning from MTRCB dahil masyado daw violent ang content namin. But I made sure it was still accessible and people will not be scared of my characters pero hindi mo maiwasan matakot kasi creatures of the night sila pareho.
Monday October 11, 2010 8:34 ABS-CBN


8:36

ABS-CBN:
Henry: Wala kasing pangit sa ABS-CBN sabi ni Direk Chito. :) Siguro, romanticizing it lalo kung si John Lloyd ang kakagat.
Monday October 11, 2010 8:36 ABS-CBN


[Nicky's Note: Jake is talking here about why he left showbiz a few years ago.]

8:37

ABS-CBN:
Jake: Unang-una kaya ako umalis dahil nagkaroon ako ng magandang pamilya. Nung time na nawala ako, na-miss ko ang pag-aartista. Aminin ko nainggit ako sa mga kasabayan ko na sikat na sikat na. Pero nung inisip ko sabi ko kung babalik ako gusto ko ABS para napapanood ako sa ibang bansa. :)
Monday October 11, 2010 8:37 ABS-CBN


8:39

ABS-CBN:
Jake: Laging nasa timing yan e kung babalik ka. Blessing from God hiniling ko na kung bibigyan ako ulit ng sana yung maganda. Timing na nagkita kami ni Direk Chito sinama niya ko sa "Magkano Ang Iyong Dangal" tapos itong Imortal.  Mahirap na masaya at nakakatuwa. Ngayon may nag-eemail na mga barkada ko napapanood na ko sa ibang bansa :)
Monday October 11, 2010 8:39 ABS-CBN


8:41

ABS-CBN:
Rico: In the past tulad ng nasabi ni Direk Chito, naalok na rin ako sa ilang projects. Many factors but this time around dahil solo artist na ko mas flexible na sa schedule. Timing din po. I'm happy kasi kasama ko sa project na ito si Angel at John Lloyd. Timing plus a good project is almost impossible to decline. But i will still continue to sing and do music. Continuous pa din yung shows ko and concerts.
Monday October 11, 2010 8:41 ABS-CBN

Monday October 11, 2010 8:43 ABS-CBN


8:44

ABS-CBN:

Monday October 11, 2010 8:44 ABS-CBN

Monday October 11, 2010 8:48 ABS-CBN


8:49

ABS-CBN:
Angel: Natutuwa ako dahil nakakagawa ako ng ganitong proyekto na naisasabuhay ko na may lobo at bampira. Kaya sana patuloy niyong panoorin at kayo na po ang magdecide kung totoo bang may bampira at lobo
Monday October 11, 2010 8:49 ABS-CBN
