Danny Pang’s Horror Film Delusion Acquired by Arclight Films
One of Hong Kong’s top filmmakers, Danny Pang is the co-director (along with his brother, Oxide Pang) of gems like Bangkok Dangerous and The Eye, and up next he continues playing around in the horror genre with Delusion. We’ve serving up details and release info today, so read on!
Per ScreenDaily, Arclight Films’ Asian label Easternlight has picked up international rights to the upcoming horror-thriller, which stars fast-rising actor-singer Chau Pakho. China’s Huace Media Group is handling mainland China distribution, with a theatrical release scheduled for May 2016.
Produced by Vshine Brothers and Sun Wei, along with Huace, the film is being developed as the first title in a franchise.
Delusion 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.
“Danny Pang’s impressive work in the horror genre is Hong Kong’s answer to Wes Craven and other world horror greats,” said Arclight’s Elliot Tong. “We believe Delusion will be very commercial for the world market as horror thrillers keep filling a solid audience around the world.”
