Joan Chen Leads Thriller ‘The Evil Inside’ as DaSun Pictures Shops Film at Cannes Market (EXCLUSIVE)


Screen legend Joan Chen has signed on to headline the psychological thriller 'The Evil Inside.'

Joan Chen(“Twin Peaks,” “The Last Emperor”) has signed on to headline the psychological thriller “ The Evil Inside,” with Taiwan’s DaSun Pictures handling worldwide sales at the Cannes market. The thriller draws inspiration from actual events that once shocked Taiwan — an illegal gambling operation that used terminally ill patients’ lives and deaths as betting stakes while masquerading as compassionate care. Chen, whose storied career spans both Hollywood and Asian cinema, added: “I look forward to embracing and defending this deeply scarred and morally complex woman — an incorrigible gambler — infusing her dark, tormented soul with light and warmth, and granting her the ultimate triumph: salvation through defeat.”
