With investment from Alibaba Pictures, and Tencent Pictures, Hollywood has started shifting it’s focus from a US-centric, to a more global-centric audience.
Alibaba Pictures’ upcoming film ‘Asura’ produced for $100 million. On its roster is Oscar-winning costume designer Ngila Dickson (Lord of the Rings), VFX supervisor Chiarlie Iturriaga (Deadpool, Furious 7), and audio director Martín Hernandez (The Revenant, Birdman), just another example supporting China’s trend towards growing budgets, Western talent, and cross-border collaborations.
