Set as a homage to Wong’s birthplace, Blossoms Shanghai will be exploring the massive economic growth of the titular city in the 1990s.
Award-winning Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Kar Wai (Happy Together) is officially working on a brand new project in the form of his debut drama series titled Blossoms Shanghai which is an adaptation of author Jin Yucheng’s novel called Blossoms.
The series is created and produced by Wong, who is also set to direct the first episode.
“Jin Yucheng’s landmark novel Blossoms has been the perfect backdrop to visualize and share my love for my birth city,” Wong Kar Wai said in a statement (via Deadline).
