Hollywood Looks for another Hong Kong Hit

Posted by Bill Belew on March 3rd, 2007 in All about China | No Comments

Warner Bros' "The Departed" won an Oscar for its remake of the Hong Kong thriller "Internal Affairs."

The filmmaker hopes to do it again with "Confession of Pain" a Hong Kong Media Asia film company.

The movie is about a Hong Kong police officer who avenges the murder of his family by earning the trust of the killer after marrying his daughter. Yikes!

Warner Bros hired a Hollywood producer and a production company owned by DiCaprio. (There's a reason to not see the movie…DiCaprio.)

"The Departed" was the first movie to be based on a foreign film to win four or more Oscars.

Generally…winning an Oscar is a good reason to NOT see a movie.

Though I admit seeing and enjoying "The Departed." Maybe, Hong Kong has something else to offer Hollywood.

What kind of foreign movies do you like?
