Now available for streaming and binge-watching on iWant, "Love Lockdown" presents three different stories set in the present quarantine period. It starts with a seemingly happy couple Jacob (Jake Cuenca) and Karen (Kylie Versoza) who are blissfully alone together in a condo of their own. Their paradise would end forever, though, as Jacob's wife Lesley (Angelica Panganiban) discovers their illicit affair. After finding out about her cheating husband, Lesley meets a new friend and eventually becomes a part of an interwoven series of events involving other people who happen to be isolated during lockdown.
The three-part original film is produced by Dreamscape Digital and directed by Andoy Ranay, Darnel Villaflor, Noel Escondo and Emmanuel Palo. It also serves as the reunion project of "That Thing Called Tadhana" lead stars JM De Guzman and Angelica Panganiban, "Los Bastardos" stars and real-life couple Jake Cuenca and Kylie Verzosa, and "Hanggang Saan" on-screen duo of Arjo Atayde and Sue Ramirez tagged as ArSue. What makes the film more interesting is that it was shot by no less than the stars themselves from their own homes. Through the guidance and cooperation of the directors, they also had to be their own stylists, production designers and location managers.
Since its relaunching on November 2018, iWant has been keen on presenting unique and intriguing stories that can literally catch the taste of Filipino viewers who are starting to enjoy binge-watching their own favorite movies and TV shows anytime, anywhere on their devices. "Love Lockdown" seems to be essentially among them if you look at how it is made. Anyway, it became available on the service after being delayed due to the threat of Typhoon Ambo in several parts of Luzon and Visayas so do check it out. Here's a peek at what you can expect from the iWant original film set within the continuing threat of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines, "Love Lockdown".
