Pang Brothers take 3-D to Asian Film Market
Universal Films is backing the Pang Brothers’ next movie, which will be a return to the horror genre with ‘The Childs Eye’. The movie will be a 3-D release, making it the first digital 3-D horror feature to hit the Asian market.
Danny and Oxide Pang are directing this project and production will begin in June, shooting in Thailand. ‘The Childs Eye’ is familiar ground for the Pang Brothers, having made the horror film ‘The Eye’ in 2002, spawning the American remake starring Jessica Alba.
‘The Childs Eye in 3D tells the story of six stranded Hong Kong travelers during the shutdown of the Bangkok airport in the November 2008 anti-government protest and their supernatural encounters after the disappearance of three in the group.
The showpiece of the film will be an underworld made up of paper replica houses, filled with paper dolls and paper cars  a city formed by all the paper-made facsimile of the real world burnt and offered to the deceased in the traditional Chinese ancestor worship ritual. The twins also will be introducing a monster in the film. — HR
‘The Childs Eye in 3D’ has a budget of about $4.5 million and the Pang brothers are excited to be working with this new 3-D technology and seeing how they can apply it to their own visual style of horror. Keep an eye out for their next film ‘The Storm Warriors‘. It’s a fantasy/martial arts comic book adaptation and it looks pretty awesome!
