Presents an exclusive NYC screening of
SHANGHAI KISS
Starring Ken Leung, Hayden Panettiere, Kelly Hu
followed by discussion with writer/co-director David Ren
In Shanghai Kiss, Ken Leung (Rush Hour, X-Men 3) plays Liam Liu, a likeable, struggling L.A. actor who inadvertently finds himself as the object of affection for a pretty Beverly Hills teen (Hayden Panettiere, NBC's Heroes, Racing Stripes). When Liam inherits his grandmother's home in Shanghai, his visit to China and introduction to Micky (Kelly Hu, The Scorpion King, X-Men 2), a woman who captures his imagination like no other, force him to reconsider his Chinese roots. Caught between two worlds (and two women), Liam must now sort out the complicated desires of his heart, and find out who he really is.
Shihan Kai Leung, Shotojuku students and family members went to the screening of Shanghai kiss in New York City on October 1, 2007
