NING HAO'S LATEST FILM

Ning Hao gets the Fruit Chan treatment, with superstar Andy Lau supporting his latest movie to the tune of HK$12.5 million. Well, it's slightly different in the sense that Ning Hao's recent film is supported by the "Asian New Director" film project that Andy Lau supports. Not sure how much of that money went directly to his film.

I'm not a big Ning Hao fan, he did MONGOLIAN PING PONG which I didn't really like. However, this movie, THIEF AMONG THIEVES, is a black comedy about a jade jewel in Chongqing and it sounds like it might actually be funny. Currently the movie's distributor is seeking SARFT approval and if they receive it the movie will premiere in Shanghai on June 19.
