Hong Kong-based sales outfit Autumn Sun has picked up international sales on Moonlight Madness starring Korean actor Don Lee (The Roundup) in his first ever comedy role and first performance in a Chinese production.
The film also stars Kris Phillips (Creation Of The Gods I & II) as a top lawyer caught in hot waters during an affair in a hotel and features a special appearance by Lee who plays a jealous boyfriend throwing his signature punches.
Autumn Sun is handling sales on the movie in collaboration with Scene One launched by producer Serena Deng Shuo, who is also the film’s producer and credited for bringing Don Lee on board. “When we first showed Ma Dong-seok (Don Lee) the script, he liked it being a comedy”, said Deng. “Having it be a Chinese production is also a first for the action superstar”.
Autumn Sun has already sold the film to Korea’s Big Wave Cinema, which is planning a theatrical release. Deng’s international co-production creds include Guardians Of The Tomb, starring Li Bingbing and Kelsey Gramer, and Guilt By Design, a China-Hong Kong co-production starring Cheung Ka Fai and produced by Derek Yee.
