Director Choi said: “When I came to Macau and visited City of Dreams, I thought that it’d be a great setting for a heist film starring not just Korean stars but Hong Kong stars as well against exotic backgrounds. The most important element of this film is depiction of reality and the audience must be able to enjoy the space we’re putting them in. I think the film’s true character came through while shooting at City of Dreams. I want to sincerely thank City of Dreams and I’m very excited to be shooting here.”
As the story plot centers very much on the hidden diamond at a casino in Macau, City of Dreams provides the stunning location for the filming and its spacious and contemporary casino will play a vital role in the movie. Besides the casino scenes, some of the action will also take place at the top-notch hotels and retail areas at the resort, including the young-hearted and music-inspired Hard Rock Hotel, the luxurious Crown Towers and the chic lifestyle precinct The Boulevard.
Audiences throughout Asia can enjoy the action when ‘The Thieves’ will be released in Korea and other places during the summer of 2012.
