The April slate includes seven films, ranging from re-releases of classics to new titles across genres. Several older films, including “Farewell My Concubine: The Original,” will return in 4K remastered versions.
“Farewell My Concubine: The Original,” a signature film of the late Leslie Cheung, will be re-released to coincide with the anniversary of his death on April 1. Marking the film’s 33rd anniversary, it centers on the relationship between two men, Dieyi and Xiaolou, who share a love of Peking opera, portraying love, jealousy and the art form’s beauty.
Also included is “Scream 7,” the latest installment in the horror franchise. The film topped the box office after its North American release and brings back Sidney Prescott, the lead from the first film. The story focuses on Sidney and her daughter, Tatum, and the return of a more formidable Ghostface.
For family audiences, the animated film “Magic Forest Animal Friends: The Great Adventure” follows a trio of young goats and their friends as they confront a black wolf in a once-peaceful enchanted forest.
Audrey Hepburn classics “Roman Holiday” and “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” will also be re-released in 4K remastered versions, offering audiences a chance to see the films again in theaters.
The 1998 film “The Truman Show” will likewise return in a 4K remastered version, telling the story of Truman as he begins to suspect his life is part of a massive show.
The action film “Normal” will open first worldwide at Lotte Cinema. Made with participation from the production teams behind “John Wick” and “Nobody,” the film stars Bob Odenkirk and depicts secrets hidden in the seemingly peaceful town of “Normal” through fast-paced action.
A Lotte Cinema official said the lineup was planned “to provide the best immersion that can only be experienced in theaters,” adding that the company expects moviegoers to enjoy a broad range of choices from re-releases to new films.
