Tran Thanh is also the only director to ever have a film cross 300B VND at the Vietnam box office, a feat he has achieved with each of his titles.
The 4 Rascals is a romantic dramedy spin on universal themes of relationships and family which sees the titular group plot to “solve” a love triangle. The film stars an ensemble cast of Tran Thanh, Le Duong Bao Lam, Le Giang, Uyen An, Quoc Anh, Tieu Vi and Ky Duyen. Check out the trailer below.
Along with the markets noted above, The 4 Rascals will also release in Poland, Norway, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Sweden on March 14. France and Romania are set for April 18.
Thien A. Pham, founder of 3388 Films, says, “Tran Thanh’sfilms resonate with audiences worldwide. His first film was the first Vietnam-produced film to surpass $1M at the U.S. box office and his previous film became the first to achieve a $2M milestone in North America and Europe. 3388 Films was the international distributor for both and we’re elated by this latest collaboration, especially with the continued trust from the producers that 3388 Films will continue to break ceilings and push market barriers. We’re guided by our vision of making Asian and Southeast Asian films more accessible to the worldwide audience.”
The 4 Rascals is produced by Tran Thanh Town, Galaxy Studio and HKFilm.
