Emma Corrin & Lucie Zhang To Star In Hong Kong-Set Comedy 'Peaches'.


Emma Corrin and Cesar nominee Lucie Zhang are set to star in Jenny Suen’s English language feature debut Peaches, which Coco Francini will produce and Oscar winner Cate Blanchett and Andrew Upton will executive-produce for Dirty Films.

Set in contemporary Hong Kong, the movie will follow two spoiled best friends who scam sugar daddies for a living. When they discover a Hermes Birkin bag they were gifted is a fake, their "boyfriends" and crimes catch up with them.

The film is an adaptation of Vera Chitylova’s 1966 Czech New Wave comedy Daisies.

Dirty Films’ Coco Francini told us: "Jenny Suen’s Peaches is an uproarious ode to youth and freedom with a dash of Hong Kong slapstick. Emma Corrin and Lucie Zhang are two of the most exciting talents of their generation and they are the perfect actors to capture the distinct rhythms and surreal escapades of this very special film."

Director Suen added: "Peaches is a playful exploration of what it means to be a young person in today’s calamitous world. Why live your life seriously if it feels like you have no future? Emma Corrin and Lucie Zhang are astonishing performers with both the verve and the vulnerability to bring the Peach spirit to life! I am beyond excited to start shooting with Emma and Lucie, and ever grateful for my collaboration with Coco Francini, Cate Blanchett, and Andrew Upton at Dirty Films."
