Lionsgate To Remove Illusion Of Deception Chinese Spin-Off
Lionsgate has signed a contract with Chinese company Leomus Pictures to collaborate on the spin-off of the adventure movie "The Illusion of Deception." This is reported by The Hollywood Reporter. Filming will take place in China and will feature primarily Chinese actors. "We are actively working with Lionsgate on the storyline and will definitely use the help of a renowned Hollywood screenwriter to ensure the quality of the project and its connection to the original franchise," Leomus Pictures CEO Jai Kui commented on the agreement. Lionsgate has very good reasons to be optimistic. Launched in June 2016, Illusion of Deception 2 grossed $ 92 million in China, more than at the North American box office. It also showcased the best start in the history of the studio in this market. Leomus took part in the creation of the picture as a consultant, helping to correctly position the project in the Chinese box office. "The American trailers of the movie were more focused on the theme of revenge and in general on the individualistic feelings of Americans. For the Chinese, the concept of nepotism is much more important than individual aspirations. And the Chinese are great introverts," the head of the studio explained.
