With his impressive 2015 debut, “Kaili Blues”, and the immersive 3D spectacle of “Long Day’s Journey Into Night”, Chinese director Bi Gan has become one of the most promising world filmmakers out there.
I’m being told, via IONCINEMA’s Eric Lavallée, that Bi Gan will start production on his third film, “Resurrection”, in either late October or November. Hopefully, this one can premiere at next May’s Cannes Film Festival.
Set to star Jackson Yee and Shu Qi, the film is being described as an “ambitious sci-fi detective movie” following a woman whose consciousness falls into the “eternal time zone” during a surgical procedure.
“Trapped in many dreams, she finds an android corpse and tries to wake it up by telling endless stories. The android then wanders within her stories and its senses gradually awaken,” the synopsis reads.
