"Lang Man Man Wu" to Get Mandarin-Language Remake
The 2004 hit Korean drama, "Full House," or Lang Man Man Wu, as it is known in China, which propelled Korean actor Rain and actress Song Hye-kyo to stardom, is getting a Chinese-language remake.
The show's Chinese version will see the male lead being played by Mandarin-speaking K-pop star Eli, who is a member of the band U-Kiss.
There's so far no word on who will play the female lead.
The original show, which itself was adapted from a graphic novel, is about a thorny love triangle that emerges between a screen writer, an actor and a scorned lover, a fake marriage that yielded true love and a house that was put on sale when it shouldn't have.
Filming for the Chinese-language version of "Full House" begins in December, with the first episode expect to air sometime next year.
The show has already been remade for the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand.
Digital Domain Makes Deal to Produce Hologram Performances of Deng Lijun
3D holographic projection company Digital Domain has struck a 10-year joint venture with TNT Production to hold hologram performances of late celebrated Asian singing star Deng Lijun, or Teresa Teng, who passed away 20 years ago.
The two companies will build on the previous hologram of Teng that sang virtually alongside Mandopop superstar Jay Chou during his 2013 concerts in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Digital Domain CEO Daniel Seah says the company is developing Teng's new hologram with the same team that worked closely with the singer's foundation to "bring the singer's personality and spirit to her performances in 2013."
TNT, which represents Teng's estate, plans to use the singer's likeness for concerts, albums, movies and advertising.
Celebrated throughout East and Southeast Asia, Teng was widely mourned when she passed away from an asthma attack in 1995 while vacationing in Thailand.
South Korea's Highest Box-Office Earner, "Roaring Currents," Sets Sails for Mainland
South Korean high-seas period action drama "Roaring Currents", which became the country's highest grossing movie of all time at the end of the summer, will drop anchor on the mainland.
Although a Chinese release date has not been finalized, the movie has so far earned nearly 130 million dollars since opening late July and brought in over 17 million viewers in South Korea.
"Roaring Currents" follows the naval admiral Yi Sun-sin as he launches a suicidal naval assault on a Japanese fleet during Japan's invasion of Korea at the end of the 16th century.
Lee Ki-yun, head of production at CJ E&M, which owns the rights to the film, is positive about how the film will be received on the mainland, saying that Chinese movie-goers are "curious about a film that drew a record number of viewers in South Korea."
"Roaring Currents" stars Korean actor Choi Min-sik, who was the lead in the renowned thriller "Old Boy" and appears in the international summer action hit, "Lucy."

Earlier this year, the 44-year-old actor won an Oscar as the lead in the film "Dallas Buyers Club" and received an Emmy nod for his role in HBO's hit drama "True Detective."
With the upcoming big-budget sci-fi epic "Interstellar," the actor continues his run of arty, edgy, daring work.
