"To be here is a great feeling. I'm proud to be Filipino. I want to be the first Filipino director to represent the Philippines in Hollywood, like how John Woo represents China in Hollywood. That's been my goal for a long time," says Ace Cruz.

Nakapili na rin siya ng lokasyon para rito at ito nga ay ang isla ng Boracay dito sa Pilipinas.

"I want to shoot it here. That's why I'm in Boracay now and I'm starting to come up with ideas and scenes on how the movie will run. It's like Memoirs of a Geisha, Slumdog Millionaire, August Rush, put in one. It's an inspirational film with drama."

Posible rin daw kumuha siya ng local actors sa Pilipinas para maisama sa cast ng The Wishing Well.

"I want to do that if possible. But I'll be particularly writing the script for Vanessa Hudgens. She's my leading lady. Then around that, I can get local actors. I don't know who yet. But people like Cesar Montano, Raymond Bagatsing, Alvin Anson, and people I know can come in handy," sabi niya.

WANTS TO DIRECT JUDY ANN. Kung mabibigyan daw siya ng pagkakataon, gusto rin daw ni Ace na makapagdirek ng isang purely Pinoy movie at mayroon na siyang nasa isip na gawing bida rito.

"I'd like to direct Judy Ann Santos someday," sabi niya. "I've known her since she was 14 years old because of Tito Alfie. I know how she works. She can emote very well. I can see in her eyes the drama that she goes through. She is very well-equipped as an actress."

Posible rin daw mai-cast niya si Judy Ann sa gagawin niyang Hollywood movie in the future.

"I'm sure if there's a role that I can put her in, you know, it depends on whatever script that I'm pushing together. So, maybe by the time I'm writing, maybe I can come up with a story set in the Philippines which will be perfect for Judy Ann."

Dahil mauuna nga niyang gawin ang The Wishing Well, malamang daw kapag nakagawa na siya ng script para kay Juday ay nakabalik na sa showbiz ang aktres matapos nitong makapanganak sa Oktubre.
