The ‘Delusion’ Of the Director Behind ‘The Eye’
Arclight Films’ Asian label Easternlight has picked up international rights to The Eye director Danny Pang’s upcoming horror film Delusion, starring fast-rising actor-singer Chau Pakho, ScreenDaily reports..
Produced by Vshine Brothers and Sun Wei, along with China’s Huace Media Group, the film is being developed as the first title in a franchise.
“The film comprises three interconnected stories about characters suffering from delusional disorder: a girl who is “seeing things” after an unrequited romance; another girl and her imaginary boyfriend; and an insomniac who is convinced he’s witnessing a girl being tortured by a man living across from his apartment window.”
The cast also includes Cheng Yuan Yuan, An Hu, Hong Chen, and a special appearance by Timmy Hung, son of Sammo Hung.
Pang’s previous horror titles include The Eye series and 3D horror Child’s Eye, which he co-directed with his brother Oxide Pang.
“Danny Pang’s impressive work in the horror genre is Hong Kong’s answer to Wes Craven and other world horror greats,” said Arclight Films, head of Asian sales and acquisitions, Elliot Tong.
Huace is handling mainland China distribution, with a theatrical release scheduled for May 2016.
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
