Hong Kong

October isn't over yet, but already filmmakers are gearing up for the 2010 American Film Market, which runs November 3rd-10th. Info on two new films from Bigfoot Entertainment landed in our inbox today, both written and directed by Michael Gleissner, dealing with greed, lust, and betrayal set in Hong Kong: Irreversi and Hui Lu. Interestingly, they sound almost identical.

Studios that wonder why some films fail to make a profit should take a long hard look at how much effort was afforded to those bombs. Sunshine (review) is one such movie that received zero press, zero advertising and obviously few theatre goers. It has disappeared from many local cinemas and will most likely be gone all together in the next week.
