It only took twenty years lol. I did not release that Studio Ghibli movies were not released in Mainland China when it came out but the studio has been playing catch up with releasing the movies now. The Boy and the Heron was released in China a few months after it came out, and now on April 30th Howl’s Moving … Continue reading →
The very highly anticipated C-movie The Murderer starring Zhang Zi Yi and directed by award winning and commercially popular HK-director Peter Chan wrapped filming last month in February 2024. The movie is based on a true story in 1940’s Shanghai when an abused wife of a gambling addict killed and dismembered him and her tale became a feminist call for … Continue reading →
I really like how Dylan Wang and his agency is mapping out his career, including attending this year’s 2024 NBA All-Star game and playing in the celeb game. He loves the NBA and is really so charming and earnest on ever big stages. This week C-ent casting says his agency is working hard to get him a supporting role in … Continue reading →
So there’s a thriller action plane K-movie coming out later this year and this week the first two stills were released of the two leads. It stars veteran Ha Jung Woo with younger leading man Yeo Jin Gu in another acting bonanza pair up. Yeo Jin Gu continues to work with the best older leading men and each time I … Continue reading →
So C-actor Wang Yibo remains focused on his movie career but there is a wide swatch of types of movies from small budget to arthouse to local blockbusters to international hits. A lot of it is luck if you ask me in picking the right project but one star with a nearly every movie is a hit track record is … Continue reading →
The doldrums of the South Korean box office was happily shattered this past weekend with what is now the biggest domestic Korean movie opening in more than two years since The Roundup: No Way Out in 2022. The occult supernatural horror movie Exhuma had over 2 million admissions in its opening weekend (2.29m from Thurs through Sunday) and also got … Continue reading →
So I love good K-horror whether movies or dramas like The Guest and The Wailing and this one looks to join the list. The grave horror film Exhuma is getting ready for premiere towards the end of February and viewers are excited judging from the buzz. Starring veterans Choi Min Sik and Yoo Hae Jin with younger leads Kim Go … Continue reading →
So this is making waves in C-ent this week and we’ll have to see if it ends up happening. Wang Yibo has been attached to the romance movie The Mermaid, not to be confused with the Stephen Chow directed movie of the same name, since last year and it’s now gaining steam to head into production. The female lead in … Continue reading →
There are a lot of hit movies from one country that can easily be adapted to another and it does sometimes help with exposing a great story to more audiences. The hit 2018 C-movie Us and Them starring Zhou Dong Yu and Jing Bo Ran will be getting a K-remake and now the leads are announced as Moon Ga Young … Continue reading →
Okay, now this is a fight worth fighting lol. This week Zhao Li Ying and Yang Mi‘s fandoms went at each other HARD over who will be the second female lead and the other would then be the third female lead. It’s rare to fight over second/third normally it’s always a fight for top billing. But the project in question … Continue reading →
Song Hye Kyo is following up her excellent drama year thanks to Netflix bullied revenge drama The Glory with a return to the big screen. She’s in talks for the movie The Nuns and will likely get K-actress Jeon Yeo Bin as her costar. The movie is a spinoff of the K-movie The Priests and will be produced by the … Continue reading →
When Hollywood comes calling for most Asian stars is always an opportunity impossible to pass by. For Park Seo Joon I wished he would have passed right on by the recent MCU movie The Marvels because hoo boy was the movie so chaotic and mediocre (and bombed in its first weekend at the box office) but his role in particular … Continue reading →
Next week on November 10th is the premiere of The Marvels and I don’t recall a MCU movie being as non-buzzy as this one. The talk of the downswing of Marvel movies has been going on for a few MCU movies now probably after Endgame since The Eternals but reportedly The Marvels is tracking at a lower opening than even … Continue reading →
