![]() In June 2016, the service platform launched in Indonesia, collaborating with market leaders IndiHome, Telkom Indonesia. In March 2016, the CATCHPLAY+ service platform made its pilot launch in Taiwan in partnerships with major telecommunication operators and device manufacturers. In addition to content aggregation, in 2015, CATCHPLAY established AsiaPlay Incorporated with the ambition of becoming the leading premium content service provider for movie lovers in Asia. Today, we are the largest provider for premium movie content in Taiwan, aggregating content from Hollywood studios including Disney, Warner Bros., NBC Universal and Paramount in addition to having a wide selection of international independent films and leading local productions for distribution on major operators’ digital platforms. Today, CATCHPLAY continues to look into investment and co-production opportunities internationally and in Asia targeting particularly Chinese-speaking territories and South East Asia following our recent expansion footprints.ĬATCHPLAY started placing significant emphasis on the development of digital movie content years before the others did in Taiwan. In the same year, CATCHPLAY also provided financing and local production support to director Martin Scorsese’s passion project Silence, making it the first international production filmed entirely in Taiwan. CATCHPLAY and partners also control exclusive distribution rights to these films in Taiwan, China, Hong Kong and Macau, with The Revenant generating outstanding box office results from these territories in 2016. In early 2015, we closed a partnership deal to invest in New Regency’s three enthralling titles, namely The Revenant, Assassin’s Creed and Splinter Cell, marking the first investment of a Taiwanese company in major Hollywood productions. ![]() ![]() Both investments generated considerable box office performance in Taiwan and China respectively. In the same year, we invested in the locally produced film, Paradise in Service and co-produced 20 Once Again with CJ Entertainment for the Chinese market. Here’s a few more you should check out (and where to watch them).In 2014, in addition to distributing the movies CATCHPLAY loves, we embarked in earnest co-production and investment projects, venturing into content creation. The above movies are really devoted primarily to what is available on Netflix, but Ana de Armas has starred in many other excellent films. De Armas and Izzo play a pair of stranded young women with a sinister agenda in mind when they seek refuge with married man (Reeves). As a horror/thriller film though, Knock Knock leaves a lot to be desired.Īs much as we love Keanu, his performance in this is pretty bad and the movie itself is just a hot mess. It’s a remake of the 1970s movie Death Game from director Eli Roth, which might give you an idea of what to expect. SKIP! – This 2015 thriller was one of De Armas’ early notable roles and co-stars Keanu Reeves and Lorena Izzo. Initially released at Sundance, Sergio is technically a Netflix Original after the streamer received distribution rights. WATCH! – Sergio is a 2020 film following the UN diplomat Sérgio Vieira de Mello (Wagner Moura), who must fight for survival after a bomb blast. The film follows a CIA asset on the run from assassins working for one of his former colleagues. Besides De Armas, the film also stars Chris Evans and Ryan Gosling, so the cast is worth watching for, but this also isn’t a movie that needs to be at the top of your watchlist. SKIP! – The Gray Man is one of Netflix’s biggest action movies, an action-thriller from Marvel vets Anthony and Joe Russo. It’s not the most groundbreaking thriller in the genre, but it’s serviceable and all of the actors do a great job, especially Kinnaman and the female lead, Rosamund Pike. The Informer is a 2019 crime thriller film following a soldier (Kinnaman) on a cover assignment to take down a crime boss. ![]() Here, she plays Joel Kinnaman’s wife, Sofia Koslow. In movies like this and War Dogs, she was mostly relegated to the wife/girlfriend role. WATCH! – Prior to her breakout part in Knives Out, many of De Armas’ roles were on the thinner side and The Informer is a good example of that.
