French distribution company Wild Side Films just bought the
rights of Pang Ho-cheung slasher horror “Dream Home” – which will be
released in Hong Kong for Halloween - starring Josie Ho, Eason Chan,
Juno Mak,Anthony Wong and
many more.
OK, I’m half surprised since I directly recommanded this movie to the CEO, Manuel
Chiche, while I was in Hong Kong last March/April, interviewing the cast
and crew on the set, for my Mad Movies preview article (released a few
weeks ago, see scans below)
I’m actually collaborating as a freelance with Wild Side Films since
2003. I started to work on their big Shaw Brothers 46-title DVD collection (consulting,
writing booklets, directing DVD extra features...) and I also wrote press kits for some of their Asian movies between 2003 and 2007 (“Come Drink With Me”,
“Old Boy”, “Samaria”, “Invisible Waves” etc...).
Since they released some of the best Asian horror movies the last few
years (“Three Extremes”, “Dorm”, “A Tale Of Two Sisters”,
“Dumplings”...), it’s kind of logical that they got interested in “Dream
Home”.
Until now, only two Pang Ho-cheung’s movies were released in France (“Men
Suddenly in Black” and “AV” – distributed by Pathe/Des Films) but
only straight to DVD. I hope that “Dream Home” will be the first movie
of this director, to have a French theatrical release.
