Terracotta Distribution has announced the acquisition of the films Sparrow and The Detective, with both Hong Kong titles set for release in 2011.
“We're extremely happy to be working with Sparrow by the much respected director Johnnie To,” announced the distributor. The crime caper stars Johnnie To regulars Simon Yam and Lam Kar Tung as pickpockets who are outwitted by a rival gang. The film promises “lots of stylish trademark Johnnie To shots for fans of his work!”
The Detective is directed by Oxide Pang, one half of the Pang Brothers who came to international prominence with The Eye. In The Detective, Asian mega-star Aaron Kwok stars as a private eye who takes on the case of a missing person - the further he digs, though, the more sinister, and seemingly supernatural, the circumstances surrounding the missing woman becomes.
Expect to see Sparrow out in selected cinemas in the first quarter of next year and both films out on DVD in April. Keep checking subtitledonline.com for more information on both releases in the New Year.
