China’s Linmon Pictures Readying ‘Second Sister’ Adaptation, Hong Kong-Set Crime Series ‘Hate Coin’
China’s Linmon Pictures is deploying a Hollywood-Asia crew for its ‘Second Sister’ adaptation, Hong Kong-set crime series ‘Hate Coin.’
“Hate Coin” is based on international best-selling novel “Second Sister,” by successful Hong Kong novelist Chan Ho Kei, whose previous book “The Borrowed” was a crime story that panned five-decades. The novel is also populated by a man harassing girls on mass transit; high school kids, with their competing agendas and social dramas; a Hong Kong digital company courting an American venture capitalist; and the Triads, market women and noodle shop proprietors in the neighborhood of Sai Wan,” reads an Amazon synopsis of the book. “Our exceptional team merges Hollywood-quality storytelling on the page and in the frame, with authentic insight into a beloved Hong Kong I.P., delivering a gripping, topical tale of cybercrime, secrets and our society’s obsession with hate, that will leave audiences spellbound,” said a Linmon spokesman.
