FilmRise isn’t waiting around long to kick off its promotional campaign for Raman Hui’s latest action adventure success, Monster Hunt. The attetion is well-earned from its rave reviews and commercial acclaim this year in Asia which otherwise solidifies Hui as a contender to direct ambitious pieces of work next to his impressive resumé.
In a mythical ancient world, monsters rule the land while humans keep to their own kingdom. But when adorable baby monster Wuba is born to a human father and monster queen, mortals and creatures alike set out to capture the newborn, and Wuba’s epic adventure begins.
The latest film from Raman Hui – whose animated work includes modern-day children’s classics “Shrek,” “Madagascar” and “Antz,” – “Monster Hunt” smashed box office records to become the highest grossing film in China’s history. FilmRise will release “Monster Hunt” in Mandarin with English subtitles and an English-language version.
