Matteo Locasciulli (Rumba Therapy, Champagne, Home Sweet Rome!, We Have a Dream, Inestimable) has been tapped to score the upcoming action comedy Weekend in Taipei. The film is directed by George Huang (Swimming with Sharks, Trojan War) and stars Luke Evans, Gwei Lun Mei, Sung Kang, Pernell Walker and Wyatt Yang. The movie follows a pit-bull DEA agent and a top “Transporter” who – fifteen years after they fell in love and before forces of crime and corruption tore them apart – are put on a collision course during a weekend in Taipei. Luc Besson (The Professional, The Fifth Element) co-wrote the screenplay with Huang and is also producing the EuropaCorp production with Virginie Besson-Silla (Lucy, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planet). Weekend in Taipei will open in French theaters on September 25, 2024 and is set to be released in U.S. theaters on November 1 by Ketchup Entertainment.
