WEE WEE THE POOP: COMING SOON!
The Hong Kong Asian Financing Forum has just announced their new raft of titles - films seeking funding at the upcoming Hong Kong Film Mart. These are the folks who helped get projects like DRAGON TIGER GATE, ONE FINE SPRING DAY, UNTOLD SCANDAL, THE WAYWARD CLOUD and INVISIBLE WAVES off the ground. Not all these projects will see the light of day, many of the most interesting ones will never be heard from again, but some of them will emerge from the primordial slime of film financing and splat onto screens at some point later in their evolutionary cycle.
Clara Law and Mabel Cheung, two blasts from Hong Kong's past, are here with THE MESSENGER and ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS: RED ROSE AND WHITE ROSE. Hong Kong artsy box office champ Pang Ho-cheung has NOW SHOWING. Kore-eda is present with NIGHT-FRAGRANT FLOWER which finds a companion piece in Brian Tse's WEE WEE THE POOP. Zhang Yuan = ONE NIGHT IN BEIJING. Lou Ye = THE LAST HOUR (hey, wasn't he banned from making movies in China for 5 years?). UNTOLD SCANDAL's E J-yong weighs in with HOMECOMING. And Kim Ji-Won's THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE WEIRD pokes up its funky head.
