FINISHING THE GAME

Justin Lin’s indie follow-up to his menacing BETTER LUCK TOMORROW is a comedy spoof about the search for “the new Bruce Lee” just after Lee's death in 1973. The film imagines an out-of-touch movie producer hiring his son, a would-be director, to complete the Bruce Lee movie GAME OF DEATH, only twelve minutes of which had been shot before the star’s sudden death. FINISHING THE GAME purports to be a behind-the-scenes documentary that follows a number of hopeful actors through the process as the filmmakers attempt to re-cast the role. Along the way, Lin proves he is a master of both period detail and social commentary. Indeed, Lin’s take-no-prisoners attitude lampoons both Hollywood’s uncomfortable relationship with race and the self-importance of filmmaking itself.

FINISHING THE GAME features Roger Fan, Sung Kang, Dustin Nguyen, James Franco, M.C. Hammer, Ron Jeremy, Meredith Scott Lynn, Monique Curnen and Sam Bottoms.
