  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.
