CANNES FIRST LOOK: ‘FURIE’
THE FEMALE-LED VIETNAMESE ACTION THRILLER ‘FURIE’
ARCLIGHT FILMS LAUNCHES SALES IN CANNES
Leading international sales company Arclight Films has added a new high impact feature film to its Cannes sales slate: The anticipated, female-led Vietnamese action thriller Furie starring Vietnamese superstar Veronica Ngo.
Arclight is handling worldwide rights for Furie. The company will present the film to buyers at the upcoming Marché du Film.
Furie stars Vietnam’s biggest film star Veronica Ngo who was most recently seen in the blockbuster Star Wars: The Last Jedi as Tico’s sister, Paige, and Netflix’s original feature film Bright starring Will Smith and Joel Edgerton. The film is directed by Le Van Kiet (The Rich Woman, The Lost Tour: Vietnam) alongside acclaimed action director Kefi Abrikh (JasonBourne, Lucy).
In the vein of the international box office hit action film Raid, Furie follows Hai Phuong (Ngo) a gangster who retired from the life of crime after the birth of her daughter. Despite lying low in the countryside, she can’t seem to escape her violent past when her daughter is kidnapped right before her eyes. Hai Phuong is forced back into the life she swore she would leave behind and will stop at nothing to get her daughter back from the infamous organ-trafficking ring.
