SARS: the movie!
Published May 10, 2003
Hong Kong and Chinese filmmakers are already planning SARS movies. One could be due out as early as July. Who said exploitation was dead?
Hong Kong's Mandarin Films is producing The City of Sars, directed by Steve Cheung, which is due for release as early as July.
Billed as a comedy drama, it will interweave three stories centred around the rise of the illness, according to Screen Daily.
One is a love story about two people who meet when they are forced into quarantine.
The second revolves around Hong Kong's medical workers and their struggle to cope, while the third involves a businessman who attempts to catch Sars after the illness makes him bankrupt.
