Canadian writers appear ready to strike as they hold contract talks with the country’s indie film and television producers.
The Writers Guild of Canada revealed 96.5 percent of eligible members voted to authorize a strike if a new deal with the Canadian Media Producers Association cannot be reached. “This strike authorization vote, a first in the guild’s 33-year history, represents a pivotal moment for Canadian screenwriters,” Wgc executive director Victoria Shen said in a statement on Thursday.

Taiwanese actors King Jieh-wen and Hsueh Shih-ling and Indonesia’s Angga Yunanda are set to star in “Malice,” a multinational Asian thriller that will shoot next year.
The film’s producers, actors and government backers presented the fully-assembled package to press and industry on Monday at the Busan International Film Festival.

The three – a deep sea fishing veteran, his son and a mysterious youngster – each have different and clashing motivations for embark on what appears to be a dangerous, possibly hopeless, mission. While the father is a proud mariner, the son has no interest in the sea and would prefer to sell the boat. The youngster is reputed to be an excellent harpoon fisherman,...
