Beijing Juben Productions has taken over rights to the popular “Wolf Totem” novel from China Film Group and is working on a sequel to be delivered in 2021 or Chinese New Year 2022. It also has a zo…
“There’s a cultural closeness between China and the Silk Road countries,” said Wang. France will remain a presence, however, through Wild Bunch, which is also involved. Cannes best actress-winning Samal Yeslyamova will act, and Aisholpan Nurgaiv, the Kazakh Mongolian girl subject of the documentary “The Eagle Huntress,” has also been approached to participate.
Juben’s “Guns and Kidneys” could become one of China’s first theatrically released zombie films — if it ever passes censorship. Also backed by Wanda Pictures, it was written and directed by Chinese filmmaker Zhang Meng , and has spent two years in limbo awaiting approval. Having begun prep as long ago as 2015, it completed shooting in 2016 and finished its special effects by 2017, it is now hoping for a 2020 release.
The producers are now stuck with the dilemma of having to change the entire setting and likely tone of their completed film, which is adding costs to their initial $10.6 million budget. Juben is also putting together an official co-production film with the U.K. that is currently in script stage. The story is about Shakespeare and his Chinese translator, across two different countries and eras. The main Chinese portion takes place in the 1930sand tells the story of China’s first-ever translator of the bard, and who struggled to translate the British playwright’s entire oeuvre amidst the chaos of war with Japan.
