Trinity Cine Asia is proud to be first in bringing back Asian cinema to the UK with SHEEP WITHOUT A SHEPHERD, recent #1 box office hit in China, to be released on Friday, 21 Aug 2020 across the UK.
SHEEP WITHOUT A SHEPHERD is a remake of 2015 Indian Thriller DRISHYAM. The film was directed by Malaysian Chinese director Sam Quah and executive produced by Chen Sicheng, director of top-grossing franchise DETECTIVE CHINATOWN. SHEEP WITHOUT A SHEPHERD features an outstanding performance from lead actress Joan Chen and became an instant box office hit after its release in China in December 2019, grossing 187 million USD.
Packed with ubiquitous cinephilic references, it is the perfect choice for film-lovers to resume their cinema-going in the UK. SHEEP WITHOUT A SHEPHERD was the last box office hit in China, before the whole country went into lockdown. It is currently leading the Chinese box office after cinema reopening.
