Hong Kong actor-turned-director Stephen Chow's latest fantasy film "A Hope" finally set its screening date on January 31 of next year.
Film investor, the China Film Group Corporation, announced the decision, according to The Beijing News report. Agent of the comedy star says that Stephen Chow is still busy editing the film, which he has been working on for about a year.
He explains that fantasy film is a new field for Chow and he has to put in a lot of time on the post-editing. The emphasis of the director's work is the stunts, according to the publicist, however, the selling point of the film is the story itself, as story-telling is just Chow's forte.
Just as in his other films, Stephen Chow plays a small potato in this film. The poor father, stared by Chow, has a son whom he loves deeply. And they meet a kindly teacher, who is actually an alien.
Shooting of the film was concluded last year and it was once scheduled to be put on screen during this summer vacation.
