'Koseidon,' 'Skull Island' in Tecent's super film projects

Founded by one of China's largest internet company Tencent just one year ago, Tencent Pictures has plans for films based on books, comic books, animated series and video games.


Cheng Wu, vice president of Tencent and CEO of Tencent Pictures, said at its annual press conference that four key words had been selected to sum up the direction in which the studio plans to move.


"First, it's 'young.’ We hope our films can have young subjects and styles, fit young people's ideas and new thoughts; Second, it's 'unique.' We hope our films can have exclusive creativity and can give people surprise; Third, it's 'high-quality.' We don't make rubbish films no matter how big or small the investment involved; Fourth, it's 'connecting.' We hope to build all other elements around various intellectual property brands, including literature, comics, video games, stage drama and merchandise. Meanwhile, we'd love to work with domatic and foreign partners."


Tencent Pictures had great success by co-developing the American action-fantasy film "Warcraft" directed by Duncan Jones with Legendary Pictures owned by the Wanda Group. The film made US$221 million in China alone this year. "Kong: Skull Island" will be its another collaboration with Legendary Pictures, a story seeking continuity between the worlds of King Kong and Godzilla. It is set for release in March 2017.


"The Grudge" producer Takashige Ichise will work with Tencent to produce a theatrical version of "Koseidon," based on a popular Japanese Tokusatsu TV series "Dinosaur Corps Koseidon" produced by Tsuburaya Productions. The TV series was once introduced in China, in 1988, and leaving deep childhood memories for China's 1970's and 1980's generations.
