‘Bad Kids’ Are As Good As ‘Gold’
“The Bad Kids,” a hit series from Chinese streamer iQiyi, is to be remade as a Japanese feature film “Gold Boy.” The 12-episode gritty crime thriller depicts the troubles that arise after three children accidentally film a murder. The series was previously licensed to Japanese pay-tv group Wowow.
The film is to be directed by Kaneko Shusuke, director of two of the hit “Death Note” franchise films, with screenwriter Minato Takehiko, producer Yoshida Takio (Venice Silver Lion winner with “Zatoichi the Blind Swordsman”), and lead actor Okada Masaki (“Drive My Car”) on board.
Variety previously shortlisted the original series as being among the 15 best international TV series of 2020. The series was adapted from the novel of the same name by Chinese suspense writer Chen Zijin and presented by iQIYI and co-produced by Eternity Pictures, with Han Sanping, former head of China Film Group,...

Sculptor turned director Wu Lang made a splash at the Berlin Film Festival with his debut feature “Absence” playing in the festival’s showcase Encounters section.
With a high-profile cast headed by Lee Kang-sheng (“What Time Is It There?” “The Wayward Cloud”) and Li Meng “Absence” is an art-house romance that uses skyscapes and urban landscapes as metaphors for inner feelings. The seduction starts with a man’s return to Hainan Island after ten years in jail and ends with a flock of sheep in an abandoned construction site.
Variety: This film has the same cast as your previous short film of the same title. In notes you’ve said that the two works are connected, but one is not an expansion of the other.
Wu: Shooting the first short film for me had two purposes. First, making a film is not easy in terms of financing and finding coproducers.

Wolf Alice appeared on The Tonight Show to perform “The Last Man on Earth,” an ethereal song that appeared on the band’s most recent album, Blue Weekend.
In the clip, the camera circles singer Ellie Rowsell as she sings the evocative song, backed by a small choir and the rest of Wolf Alice.
Blue Weekend marked the follow-up to 2018’s Mercury Prize-winning Visions of a Life. Following a rigorous tour, the band began working on demos in a converted church, which served as the basis for the Markus Dravs-produced album.

“Atlanta” Season 3 may not have a release date just yet, but its release window is narrowing. On Friday morning, during FX’s presentation at the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour, FX Chariman John Landgraf announced that the latest season of Donald Glover’s hit series would debut during the first half of 2022.
“We haven’t locked down the scheduling for Season 3 yet,” Landgraf said during his virtual Q&a session. “It’s finished shooting. It shot primarily in Europe, actually, and it’s in post-production, but it’s a lengthy post-production process. Part of the reason it’s lengthy is because they’re in production on Season 4 right now in Atlanta.”
Landgraf went on to say that all the scripts for Season 4 have been written, and he “adores” what’s been crafted for both upcoming seasons.

After six years, FX is no longer moving forward with Noah Hawley’s adaptation of “Cat’s Cradle.”
FX Networks chief John Landgraf shared that update on Friday during the Television Critics Association press tour.
“We made a decision not to move forward with it at FX, although we still have an overall deal with Noah Hawley,” said Landgraf. “As a studio FX productions is still very supportive of Noah. If there’s another entity that wants to commission that, it will move forward, but not under the FX brand.”
Kurt Vonnegut’s 1963 novel satirizes the Cold War arms race and plays on societal anxiety over military annihilation and increased militarization in the world. The Vonnegut adaptation hailed from Im Global under its television arm.
Hawley had been developing it since 2015.
Hawley is planning a fifth and final season of “Fargo.”

Zhang Yimou’s snowy period spy thriller “Cliff Walkers” debuted in China this Labor Day holiday weekend with $37.7 million. But it was outrun by local rom-com “My Love,” which took a comfortable box office victory.
That tale of young love starring Taiwan’s Greg Hsu and Zhang Ruonan of the popular TV show “Cry Me A Sad River” opened Friday to earn $65.1 million over three days, according to data from Artisan Gateway. Produced by Youth Enlight Pictures and directed by Han Tian (“Only the Wind Knows”), it grossed almost double the earnings of any competitor.
Hsu is one of a small handful of Taiwanese actors who declared political fealty to Beijing in March by vocally throwing his weight behind a state media-supported boycott of Western fashion brands worried about potential forced labor in the Xinjiang cotton industry. Critics say China has held more than a million ethnic Uighurs in the...

Film Movement has acquired North American rights to Cathy Yan’s feature debut “Dead Pigs” which won the Special Jury Prize at Sundance in 2018.
Film Movement will release the film in North America in theaters, virtual cinema, home entertainment and digital platforms in June.
“Dead Pigs” is social satire about the trials and tribulations connecting a disparate group of people in the midst of a baffling nationwide mystery. Shifting between Shanghai and the neighboring provincial town of Jiaxing, the film centers on the intersecting stories of five characters whose fates converge and collide as thousands of dead pigs are found floating down the Huangpu River.
The movie, which is set against the backdrop of globalization, drastic social change and increasing wealth inequality, stars an international ensemble cast including Vivian Wu (“The Last Emperor”), Mason Lee (“Lucy”), Zazie Beetz (“Atlanta”), Meng Li (“The Bad Kids”), Haoyu Yang (“The Wandering Earth”) and...

Chinese director Guan Hu is riding high right now: Despite languishing in government censorship purgatory for over a year, his patriotic war epic “The Eight Hundred” has risen to become the highest grossing film in the world in 2020, with sales of $461 million. His next confirmed move? More jingoistic propaganda.
Guan is executive producer and “supervisor” — a sort of on-set mentor figure — for the new production “The Revolutionary,” which has just begun shooting this week. The project will be a family affair — his wife, the actress Liang Jing, is also set to executive produce alongside him. Backed by Enlight Media, it is scheduled for a high-profile July 1 debut.
The date holds a special significance this year, as it marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of China’s ruling Communist Party (Ccp) — a time when Beijing will seek to celebrate the regime through positive media portrayals and go out of its...

Everything starts with a push. A man hikes up a mountain with his elderly in-laws, then stops to take their picture against a scenic backdrop. “Lean in closer together,” says the man, a stoic math teacher. He positions the camera and moves closer, gently positioning the couple. Suddenly, without warning, he shoves his wife’s parents off the mountaintop. “Mom! Dad!” he feigns in horror as they fall off the cliff to their deaths.
Thus begins The Bad Kids, a 12-part drama series that hooked all of China in a matter of weeks. After its premiere in June,...

Long before Covid-19 brought the world to a shuddering halt, Chinese streamer iQiyi had started plotting its international expansion. Those plans began with the launch of an international app in June 2019 and a partnership with Malaysian media giant Astro towards the end of the year.
Focusing initially on Southeast Asia, iQiyi picked up the pace this year by establishing five offices in key markets across the region and appointing former Netflix executive, Kuek Yu-Chuang, as vice president, international business.

Spoiler Alert: This interview contains details about tonight’s Fargo season 4 finale “Storia Americana” on FX
Crime doesn’t pay, and it never did for mobsters.
While we were bound to see the death of one big Kansas City mafia kingpin at the end of Fargo‘s season 4, specifically Jason Schwartzman’s wet-behind-the-ears Josto Fadda (who was killed by the hands of his own family no thanks to his snitch mistress Oraetta Mayflower played by the sublime Jessie Buckley), there was always hope that Chris Rock’s Loy Cannon would see better days and the dominance of his 1950s Kansas City empire.
After an acerbic code of loyalty between crime families that entailed trading their sons in an effort to keep the peace, Loy finally saw his son Satchel (who was in the custody of the Faddas) return home. But the sins of the father, are the sins of the son,...

Soon after season 3 of FX’s Fargo ended, Noah Hawley made it sound like the Emmy-winning series was done and over at the Atx festival. Those were comments that he quickly walked back, and here we are with a Chris Rock-starring season 4 set to air on Sept. 27 across 11 episodes.
And as far as season 5 goes, Hawley told us at FX’s press day today, “I’m certainly not ruling it out.”
“It’s not just one idea you need, it’s a hundred ideas and characters,” added the creator, but providing no teaser on what’s next, “so that tends to percolate.”
Also, in regard to what’s next for Hawley, his answer is the same as it was at TCA earlier this year: “I have a novel, I’m trying to finish, it’s not my goal to race back into production.”
“I’ve been going and going for a long time now.
