FREE Film Panel - Finishing the Game |
|
 Wednesday, September 26, 2007
7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
The Korea Society, 950 Third Avenue, Eighth Floor, New York City
(Building entrance on SW corner of Third Avenue and 57th Street)
When Bruce Lee died, he left behind 12 minutes of footage from his final film. The upcoming movie Finishing the Game imagines what would have
happened if bumbling studio executives had tried to find a passable
stand-in for Lee to finish the film. The answer is hilarity.
Starring Roger Fan ( Better Luck Tomorrow), Sung Kang ( The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift), Monique Curren ( Maria Full of Grace) and MC Hammer, Finishing the Game was an official selection of the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. Now yKAN and The Korea Society are presenting the film’s director and lead actors for a film panel at The Korea Society (950 Third Avenue, on the corner of 57th Street) on September 26, 2007 from 7:00 to 9:00 PM, followed by a reception at Opia.
The panel will feature Finishing the Game director Justin Lin, and actors Roger Fan and Sung Kang, discussing their recent film and their experiences as Asian American artists in Hollywood.
Admission is free. Please RSVP to
