Distribution Workshop Re-Launching ‘Sons of the Neon Night’ as Hong Kong’s Most Expensive Film


In Busan, Distribution Workshop is re-launching sales on Juno Mak's ‘Sons of the Neon Night,’ this time as Hong Kong’s most expensive film.

Only this time the Juno Mak-directed project is now in post-production, has a stellar cast and has expanded to become the highest-budget movie ever hatched in Hong Kong. The story begins with a gigantic explosion and Michael-Mann-style gun shooting of an unprecedented scale in a snow-struck Causeway Bay, a downtown district on Hong Kong Island. Distribution Workshop is also representing two Taiwan romance drama films: “Penguin Girl,” directed by emerging director Yang Yuyu, and “Unexpected Courage,” inspired by the true story of director Shawn Yu and starring acclaimed singer-actress René Liu and Hsueh Shih-Ling, a best supporting actor award winner at Busan’s Asia Contents Awards.
