With the massive popularity following “Train to Busan”, it seems inevitable that other Asian countries are keen to follow suit in offering their own take on the tired zombie genre which explains this current Hong Kong/China co-production. Not only is Alan Lo’s debut feature timed perfectly to coincide with that film’s success, but also finds that mixture of humanity and comedy as prime ingredients to exploit in this new zombie comedy offering.
“Zombiology: Enjoy Yourself Tonight” screened at the New York Asian Film Festival
Trying to move on in life, friends Lung and Chi-Yeung are two eccentric hot-blooded young men leading a devil-may-care life that deem themselves heroes who can save the earth, to the annoyance of their friends as all they do is immerse themselves in their own world.
However, Lung can do nothing about things in life that don’t work out as he wishes,...

Stars: Michael Ning, Louis Cheung, Alex Man, Carrie Ng, Cherry Ngan, Angie Shum, Venus Wong | Written by Nick Cheuk, Nero Ng, Chi Hoi Pang | Directed by Alan Lo
If there is one type of monster that has been done to death, it has to be the zombie (pun intended). We’ve seen slow ones, fast ones, even vegetarian ones in bad remakes of classics. What could make Zombiology: Enjoy Yourself Tonight any different from the rest? How about a man-sized chicken monster?
Lone (Michael Ning) and Yeung (Louis Cheung) are two eccentric young men who like to think of themselves as heroes. When Lone’s favourite animated monster, a man-sized chicken monster starts turning people into zombies, can they Lone and Yeung stop the end of the world?
If you’ve seen Train from Busan, you’ll know that Asian cinema can do zombie movies, and do them well. While...

Heading for release in Hong Kong on June 29, Zombiology: Enjoy Yourself Tonight follows what happens when "a monster from Lung's favorite animation appears in the city ... and turns people into zombies." That's from the rather lengthy plot summary at IMDb. These are running kind of zombies, not George A. Romero's slow walkers, so this may not be for traditionalists. But if you can roll with that, it looks promising. Here's the entire description (spoilers may follow): Lung (starring Michael Ning) and Chi-Yeung (starring Louis Cheung) are two eccentric hot-blooded young men leading a devil-may-care life. They deem themselves as heroes that can save the earth. However, Lung can do nothing about things in life that don't work out as he wishes: he has...

There is a thrilling selection of Chinese-language titles at Filmart this year. Liz Shackleton picks out some of the most promising.
With very few Hong Kong or mainland Chinese sellers making the journey to this year’s European Film Market in Berlin, Filmart offers a chance for buyers to catch up with the Chinese-language titles that will be rolled out in the region for the rest of the year.
After serving up the biggest film of the Chinese New Year holiday — Kung Fu Yoga, starring Jackie Chan and directed by Stanley Tong — China’s Sparkle Roll Media has launched a Hong Kong-based sales arm that is selling Ding Sheng’s reboot of the A Better Tomorrow series.
Other high-profile action titles new to market include Distribution Workshop’s Extraordinary Mission, from the creative teams behind the Infernal Affairs and Overheard series, and Huayi Brothers’ crime drama Explosion, starring Duan Yihong.
