Summer is upon us once again, which in Hong Kong means an onslaught of heat and humidity matched only by what is lining up to be a torrent of sequels, remakes and bona fide blockbusters that will dominate cinema screens between now and the new school year.
Comedies, thrillers, spine-chillers and superhero extravaganzas will be duking it out for our attention, so here is our pick of 15 of the most promising offerings to open in Hong Kong this summer (opening dates are for Hong Kong).
1. F1: The Movie
This time, Brad Pitt plays an over-the-hill Formula One driver who is recruited into Javier Bardemโs struggling team alongside a hot-headed rookie (Damson Idris) in a high-octane drama made in collaboration with the sportโs official governing body, the Fรฉdรฉration Internationale de lโAutomobile.
