- Moebius Entertainment boarded Peter Ho-Sun Chan's "The Road Not Taken," picking up international sales rights ahead of the film's Toronto Film Festival debut in the Special Presentations lineup.
- "The Road Not Taken" stars Zhou Xun as a TV host masking early-onset Alzheimer's while her marriage to a wildlife conservationist unravels, with Wen Qi, Tian Zhuangzhuang, and Wang Xiao rounding out the cast.
- Fred Tsui, Moebius's founder and CEO, previously served as executive producer on Chan's "She Has No Name," which screened at TIFF last year — a partnership that carries into the new film.
- Moebius closed the deal before Tsui's appointment as executive director of the Hong Kong International Film Festival Society, a role he begins Sept. 23, replacing Albert Lee.
- Moebius will handle international sales in every territory beyond the film's home turf and unveil the title to buyers and programmers during the Toronto market.
Why it matters: Moebius is steering worldwide sales on a TIFF Special Presentation film while founder Fred Tsui simultaneously takes over leadership of HKIFFS starting Sept. 23 — tying Asian arthouse distribution and Hong Kong's flagship festival under one network at the moment the deal was already locked in.
