Hong Kong Remake of ‘Tape’ to Unspool Trailer Ahead of Theatrical Release
Tape, a Hong Kong remake of Richard Linklater’s iconic 2001 thriller film, is heading for the AFM and theatrical release in its adopted territory.
“Tape” explores the fallout from a traumatic event at a high school graduation party, forcing the three former friends to confront their past in a story that delves into themes of power, manipulation, and the subjective nature of truth. It stars Kenny Kwan (“The Legend of Luzhen,” “The White Storm”), Selena Lee (“Queen of News”) and Adam Pak (“A Guilty Conscience”) in roles originally portrayed by Robert Sean Leonard, Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke. The themes of the original resonate even more deeply in today’s context, and I’m excited to share this reimagined version with audiences around the world, in a further attempt to bridge East and West and support Hong Kong film,” said Tong.
