Kris lands role in Hollywood movie

KRIS Aquino is going to be part of a Hollywood movie.

In an Instagram post last Easter Sunday, Kris said she auditioned and was picked for the international project. She shared that in the latter part of March, Tony and Grammy award-winning producer Jhett Tolentino contracted her through her closest friends.

“He was helping a Filipino-Chinese-American agent friend of his reach me to ask if I’d want to audition for a big Hollywood studio movie about to start filming,” she wrote. Kris said she and her team had only 72 hours to produce her audition reel. “I felt I had nothing to lose, so we went for it. We shot, they immediately edited & color graded, both my audition scenes & video BIO. Sunday we sent the high definition material. And we waited. And prayed.”

The TV host passed 5 levels of “intense scrutiny” and was eventually offered a role in the movie. She flew to Los Angeles last month to meet her agent and seal the deal.

“I am proof that in life doors will shut & there will be heart-breaking setbacks but FAITH in God’s plan will open new, unexpected doors,” Kris said, recalling that she was supposed to do two local shows, but it did not pushed through because hiring her was a “political risk not worth taking.”

Her fans surmised that she could be cast as one of the characters in the movie adaptation of Kevin Kwan’s 2013 international bestselling novel Crazy Rich Asians.
