Movie - One Last Dance (茶舞)

Check out this trailer. :)



I've been seeing the trailers on tv for the last month or so and they look good. I'll probably go watch this new Mediacorp Raintree Pictures film once it comes out. Hope it's not pretentious. Then again it has Francis Ng and I think I actually know the editor who cut this film and this might just be the film that my friend's brother has a bit part in so guess I'm going. :)

According to an article on Channel News Asia today, the film is set to open in Singapore in Jan.

Here's the article itself from CNA. CNA only archives their articles for 7 days unfortunately, so I thought I'll copy and past it here.


MediaCorp Raintree Pictures' "One Last Dance" to hit cinemas in Jan
Posted: 28 December 2006 1906 hrs


SINGAPORE : The movie may be called "One Last Dance", but this MediaCorp Raintree Pictures production is certainly "first" in more ways than one.

The Chinese triad-mafia thriller was the first Singapore film to have its world premiere in the US earlier in March.

It was also the first local film selected for the Sundance competition, one of 16 out of over 900 submissions.

The movie, shot entirely in Singapore, boasts a star-studded cast, including Hong Kong actors Francis Ng and Ti Lung and Taiwanese actress Vivian Hsu, and various MediaCorp artistes.

American actor Harvey Keitel also made a special appearance.

Brazilian writer and director Max Makowski hopes the movie will help turn more attention towards Singapore films, and is happy that it is contributing to what he calls the "blossoming" local film industry.

The gala premiere of "One Last Dance" is on January 4 at VivoCity where the stars of the show will walk down the red carpet.

It will hit cinema screens islandwide immediately after, with sneak previews from January 5 to 7 and its general release from January 11.

This makes it the first Singapore film to be released in 2007. - CNA/ms
