Vietnam rock comedy to hit big screen
Vietnamese big-budget rock movie Fan Cuong (Fanatic) will set the tone for a season of domestic high-grossing films across the country.
“For some reason, we could not carry on with that project, so I had to switch to Fanatic. The drama comedy is a combination of space travel, spatial romance and fantasy factors,” he said.
The movie, with a budget of VND26 billion (US$1.15 million), is set in the 90s and sees a fan travelling back through time to Ho Chi Minh City to meet the leader of his favourite band, Sexy Beast, to persuade him to perform on stage once again. The band leader has fallen in love with a young lady and is neglecting his career.
Fanatic is scheduled to be screened nation-wide on July 15.
