People’s Republic of Desire

admin — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 09:34:52 +0000

The People’s Republic of Desire hits Shanghai

Local film production company Bright Shadow Films is preparing to start filming on their debut feature-length film, The People’s Republic of Desire, an adaptation of Annie Wang’s 2006 novel. The shoot is scheduled for the middle of next month.

The novel has been dubbed a “Sex in the City for Chinese women” – centering on four female friends, just as in the TV show. “It’s about single women and love, but that’s not the only thing,” says Lucy Brydon, who co-wrote the script with Jenny Hammond. “It’s not quite so directly about romance – the book has a lot to offer in terms of Chinese culture as well.”

Although the original story is set in modern day Beijing, the film adaptation will be set in Shanghai. “Shanghai’s just a sexier city, no offense to Beijing,” Brydon says with a laugh. Author Wang was on hand during the adaptation process, and has given her approval of the treatment. “[Wang] kept tabs, but she didn’t have any strict guidelines. She’s a ball of energy – very smart, very cool,” says Brydon, also mentioning the challenge of adapting the book, which was originally comprised of columns, into a cohesive film narrative. “We basically started by taking all the dialogue and went from there,” she says.

Bright Shadow’s managing director Charlie Moretti, who will also act as the film’s producer, reveals – without giving too much away – that the film will be shot on location, all over the city, including scenes at “the Hyatt, 1933, Chinatown – all the famous landmarks that Shanghai residents will recognize.” The shoot will last six weeks, he says, beginning at the end of September and lasting through the fall.

Already attached to the project is UK actor Andrew Lincoln, who has previously appeared in 2003’s Love, Actually (which Moretti likens to PRD), Scenes of a Sexual Nature and numerous British TV shows. “It’s an ensemble piece – but Andrew is our male lead,” says Moretti, highlighting that the production will involve over 30 crew members. Also confirmed for the project is director Alexei Berteig and director of photography Mark Pugh. Bright Shadow is currently working to confirm several additional actors, including the film’s four female leads, who will be of Chinese descent.

The film will be shot in English, although Moretti confirms that there will be dubbing for a domestic Chinese release. Bright Shadow has big hopes for the film, with a multi-million RMB budget and plans for an international release. “We’re aiming for April 2010,” says Moretti. “[Coinciding with the Expo] is part of the point, but realistically, we always knew it would be in the second quarter April, and we want to release it as early as possible to get as many viewers as possible.”

Danny Boyle to head Shanghai film festival jury

admin — Fri, 29 May 2009 07:42:10 +0000

Article from Guardian UK, here is the original post:

His Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire is a love letter to Mumbai, but its rags-to-riches story of a young orphan who rises from the slums to win a gameshow has found Danny Boyle favour across the border in China. The movie was recently approved for wide release by the country’s famously restrictive censors, and Boyle was today named jury president of the 2009 Shanghai international film festival.

1. Slumdog Millionaire
2. Release: 2008
3. Country: UK
4. Cert (UK): 15
5. Runtime: 120 mins
6. Directors: Danny Boyle, Loveleen Tandan
7. Cast: Amil Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Azharudin Mohammed Ismail, Dev Patel, Freida Pinto, Irrfan Khan, Madhur Mittal, Rubina Ali
8. More on this film

Speaking at the premiere of his film in Beijing, Boyle described the appointment as “fantastic”. He said he had never been on a festival jury before but added that he would not make a list of criteria by which to judge the films in competition.

“It’s very rare in normal life, going to a cinema, that you know nothing about the film,” he told the Xinhua state news agency. “You should always approach those films with a completely open mind. And that’s what I’ll be doing.”

Slumdog Millionaire, which won eight Oscars last month, opens across mainland China from tomorrow. Weng Li, spokesman for the film’s distributor, China Film Group, said he was confident Chinese cinemagoers would considerably boost the film’s global box office, which currently stands at more than $200m (£137m).

Tang Lijun, the festival’s general manager, said: “Slumdog Millionaire is a perfect example for the cultural exchange between the eastern and western world.”

Last year, the Shanghai film festival jury was presided over by Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai. This year’s event runs from 13-21 June.
