Filming Wraps On THE HAUNTED HEART, Turner's First Taiwanese Co-Pro Drama

Filming has finished on the set of THE HAUNTED Heart, a new Chinese-language drama starring actor Bryan Chang, best known for his role in the 2018 box-office hit, More Than Blue. The 30x60' series will premiere in mid-2019.

The Haunted Heart is produced by Phenomena, which is run by award-winning producer and scriptwriter Xie Li-ju. Turner holds the distribution rights for most of Asia as well as the US, as part of a co-production deal.

Marianne Lee, VP - General Entertainment, Turner Asia Pacific, a WarnerMedia company, said: "When I first read the script, it really stood out; it wasn't at all like the typical Taiwanese idol dramas and rom-coms. It has an unusual amount of depth to it and relatable themes with true heart. The storyline mixes life, death and the supernatural, as well as reality and virtual reality. The decision was made even easier for me by the exceptional production talent and young cast."

The series is also backed by a grant from Taiwan's Ministry of Culture, who named it a flagship television drama production and awarded it first place in its 2012 scriptwriting competition.
