Untitled Rain/Pacino Project

Korean pop sensation Rain (Ninja Assassin) plays Zach, a Korean immigrant who is a self-professed couchsurfer in Los Feliz that spends his days making vinyl toys based off movies that he loves - Leaving Las Vegas, Sleepless in Seattle, The English Patient, Daylight, More American Graffiti - but no one wants to buy his toys; his inability to move merchandise coupled with licensing fees has put Zach rather deep in the hole.

To get in the black, Zach is turns to stealing a customized hot rod in Pacific Pallisades, and while on a joyride, he gets in with the local gangs who acquire an interest. It turns out that the hot rod is actually owned by Al Pacino (Al Pacino), an award-winning actor from the 1970s whose career was cut short after a string of racist outbursts and has since turned into a reclusive postmodern fantasy author who’s amassed an empire worth billions from the It’s in the Realm of Possibility That You a Wizard But This is Not Necessarily the Case series of books - and their prolific licensing.

Pacino walks out to get his morning newspaper and notices one of those “damn Asians” has returned his beauty (which he could easily afford fifty more of, but this one carries sentimental value) in a terrible shape and is being persued by a group that obviously damaged the vehicle. Pacino pulls Zach out of the car, punches him in the face a dozen times, and yells, “Mao-Yao, if there is anything I loathe more than your foreign face, it is whorescum.” Then Pacino pulls out a shotgun and a handgun, giving the latter to Zach, saying, “We are going to wipe this whorescum off the map!”

A buddy comedy unlike any other filled to the brim with quirk and vivacity and twists and turns. Neil LaBute by way of Charlie Kaufman or Spike Jonze.
