Streaming giant Netflix is back with a brand new slate of 15 Filipino films coming on to the service starting this August, including Netflix Original Love The Way U Lie.
Staying true to their commitment to bring more Filipino content to the service, Netflix is announcing new films from Viva Communications, Regal Films, TBA Studios, The IdeaFirst Company, and CleverMinds. This exciting new lineup cuts across multiple genres has something for everyone to enjoy.
"It is an honor having our film be included as a Netflix Original and be shown across Asia. It is a huge opportunity not just for me but also for every Filipino filmmaker to continue creating quality films that can be shown to the world and that every Filipino can be proud of,” RC Delos Reyes, director of Love The Way U Lie said.
"Very few films get to become a Netflix Original, and we at Viva and 1017 are very proud that Love The Way U Lie is part of the elite Originals. This film is a testament to Filipino creativity and we can't wait for Asia to enjoy it,” said Vincent Del Rosario, President of Viva Communications, Inc.
