Country: Hong Kong
Director: Daniel Wu
Cast: Daniel Wu, Terence Yin, Andrew Lin, Conroy Chan
Synopsis: "Manufactured music and pop star narcissism gets a well-deserved ribbing in "The Heavenly Kings," a funny and astute self-referential mockumentary from Hong Kong that out-spoofs "This Is Spinal Tap." Helmed by actor-cum-pop star Daniel Wu ("Divergence," "New Police Story"), pic is purportedly about Wu's real-life boy-band quartet Alive, but mercilessly blends fiction with fact. Major-key biz is assured throughout Chinese-language territories, though outside midnight fest slots, Western auds may prove resistant." - Variety
