Fox picks up Taiwanese adaptation 'At Café 6'

Fox Networks Group (FNG) has acquired exclusive rights to At Café 6, an adaptation of a Taiwanese novel, and will give a theatrical release in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.

FNG is partnering with Fox International in Hong Kong; Clover Films, mm2 Entertainment and Golden Village in Singapore; and Clover Films and mm2 Entertainment in Malaysia/Brunei to bring the film to theatres outside mainland China and Taiwan.

Following a theatrical release in July, the film will be broadcast exclusively on FNG’s pan-regional Star Chinese Movies (SCM).

An adaptation of Fujii Izuki’s best-selling novel, At Café 6 marks the author’s directing debut, credited with his real name Neal Wu.

The film stars Chinese rising star Dong Zijian (The Ark of Mr. Chow) and Hong Kong actress Cherry Ngan (The Way We Dance).
