KINTA director C.L. Hor is back in action, this time as co-director of a new Malaysian fantasy actioner called HAQ THE MOVIE. It’s a martial arts and digital effects-filled film from first-time director Jumaatun Azmi, the 33-year-old founder and managing director of a communication and consulting firm in Malaysia.
Haq is an action film concerning the struggle between good and evil. Haq (Zul Huzaimy) and Bad (Adi Putr) are gifted with special powers. Bad, who was adopted by Haq’s family, has a deep-seated hatred for Haq. He uses his powers to tarnish Haq’s good name. Haq, however, refrains from using his powers to stop Bad until he finds himself cornered by the latter. Who will survive this crucial battle? Well, you’ll have to wait until the film hits the big screen.
The $800,000 film, which according to Azmi incorporates subtle Islamic values, also stars Nanu Baharudin, Raja Farah and Fatimah Abu Bakar.
HAQ began production in February and is only now in the final stages of post-production as a result of heavy CGI work.
Azmi hopes to see her film released to local theaters in the first half of 2010.
The film looks decent considering Azmi went into this project with no previous filmmaking experience.
