“Emmanuelle” Theatrical Poster
We’ll soon be seeing Hong Kong star Anthony Wong (Untold Story, Untold Story 2, Visible Secret) appear in Emmanuelle, an erotic thriller from director Audrey Diwan (Happening).
Emmanuelle follows a woman and the series of erotic fantasies that she entertains.
Wong appears alongside an all-star cast that’s headlined by Noémie Merlant (Portrait of a Lady on Fire) and Naomi Watts (Boss Level, The Ring), with co-stars Will Sharpe (The White Lotus), Jamie Campbell Bower (Stranger Things) and Chacha Huang (Money Heist).
According to Deadline, the remake will deviate from the lucrative and cult 1974 movie adaptation of Arsan’s novel, which starred Sylvia Kristel as the wife of a French diplomat in Bangkok who embarks on a voyage of sexual discovery.
Look out for Emmanuelle in 2024, which will have its world premiere at the 72nd San Sebastián International Film Festival on September 20, 2024 ahead of its September 25 , 2024 French theatrical debut. Until then, we leave you with the film’s New Trailer, followed by the Trailer to the 1974 original:
What’s the point of this other than an attempt to cash-in on an already known title? I am guessing what will be different is no sex or little to no nudity. Different times now so the original concept belongs to a different era. Let it be!
Considering the international cast, I don’t think this movie will be made within the “system,” and will be released elsewhere. It seems hard to cash in on Emmanuelle since not a lot of people remember it and subsequent “Emmanuelle” films had nothing to do with the original.
“since not a lot of people remember it”
Now THAT was funny.
Who cares about Anthony Wong when you going to watch Emmanuelle remake LOL
Goood point, but we needed a reason to share it on the site. =)
