Of The Green Dragons NY Press Screening

before the screening, and then another Q&A after the screening with
the cast. Afterward the cast and director gathered at Monikas Cafe Bar
for the afterparty. Be sure to check out our pictures from the press screening,

Based on Frederick Dannen's electric New
Yorker article that chronicled the underworld of Asian-American gang
life in 80's and 90's New York City. From Andrew Lau, Director of INFERNAL
AFFAIRS which Martin Scorsese remade into Academy Award winning ©
THE DEPARTED
In the vein of crime classics like MEAN STREETS and INFERNAL AFFAIRS,
REVENGE OF THE GREEN DRAGONS follows two immigrant brothers Sonny (Justin
Chon) and Steven (Kevin Wu) who survive the impoverished despair of New
York in the 1980s by joining Chinatown gang "The Green Dragons".
The brothers quickly rise up the ranks, drawing the unwanted attention
of hard-boiled city cops. After an ill- fated love affair pits Sonny against
his own brother, he sets out for revenge on the very gang who made him
who he is. From acclaimed Director Andrew Lau and Andrew Loo, and legendary
Executive Producer Martin Scorsese comes a brilliant mix between a Hong
Kong action film and a New York City crime thriller, portraying the never-before-told
true story of "The Green Dragons".
REVENGE OF THE GREEN DRAGONS stars Justin Chon (TWILIGHT), Kevin Wu, Harry
Shum, Jr. (GLEE and seen in the upcoming CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON
II: THE GREEN DESTINY), Shuya Chang (CHINESE PUZZLE), Jin Auyeung (THE
MAN WITH THE IRON FISTS), Eugenia Yuan (MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA) with Geoff
Pierson (J. EDGAR), Billy Magnussen (INTO THE WOODS) and Ray Liotta, reuniting
him with Martin Scorsese for the first time in nearly 25 years since GOODFELLAS.
The film also reunites Lau with Martin Scorsese, who came on-board as
an Executive Producer on the film. Scorsese previously won an Academy
Award © for THE DEPARTED, a remake of Lau’s INFERNAL AFFAIRS.
The film had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.
DirecTV immediately followed with an exclusive 30-day window which started
on September 11th, followed by an A24 theatrical release in October. This
is the third film to be released in the partnership between A24 and DirecTV
following Denis Villeneuve's critically acclaimed ENEMY starring Jake
Gyllenhaal, and Jeff Baena's directorial debut LIFE AFTER BETH.
We highly recommend that everyone read the original New
Yorker article by Fredric Dannen that inspired this movie. Purchase
Revenge Of The Green Dragons on Blu-Ray
or DVD.
