Fan Death
"When the shit hits the fan... You'll want to be standing behind it!"
Its 2008 and the Chinese economy is booming, no one can keep pace as cut throat China races miles ahead in terms of international commerce. One struggling young boy helps a mysterious old man and takes a container load of old rangi fans in payment. With dreams of making it big he seeks passage cargo in tow on a freighter to Sth Korea, paying his way thru scrubbing the decks and shinning the knob of a diseased Russian Captain.
During the stormy crossing what happens in the shadows of night foreshadow the gallons of blood that will follow once this container of Fan Death reaches its final destination.
Once in Sth Korea and eager to make a buck the young boy sells his fans to various people. Later he comes across newspaper articles pointing at an increase of fan related deaths. Our hero is stunned at seeing the familiar dismembered body of his first customer a young female student, splashed across a front page... She had been killed in what seemed to be a freak accident involving a fan and a tanning bed. The poor boy sets out to investigate if his money earned has truly come at the cost of human life.
What follows are rampant scooter chases though crowded markets against a ticking clock, various cover ups by what appears to be the Chinese government and bollocks conspiricy theories regarding the true cause of these deaths.... Our hero must stem this gale force wind of Fan Death before numbers reach a record year high.
Was it just the usual, harmless fans, silently killing unsuspecting sleepers, plagued with old, smoke weakened lungs? Is it our heros new breed of fan, preying on anything within the reach of their death blades and infecting various other types of fan, including the deadly ceiling fan or the small portable hand fan? Or could it be something more sinister? Perhaps Voldermolt seeking to rid the world of Korean muggles?
Finding a pattern to the killings proves difficult... The carnage seems to be leading into Nth Korea in an effort to instigate nuclear fallout with the U.S. eliminating China's only close competitor for economic supremacy or is it simply fans maiming, butchering and murdering the Innocent in a hurricane of blood lust?
So I ask you...
"When the shit hits the Fan... Where will you be?"
Think Final Destination meets Braindead with a few of the Divinci Code type messages and a strange Asian albino who enjoys sudoku.... Also loosely based upon Borat and the Heroes Journey by Joseph Campbell.
Casting:
Yun-Fat Chow as the mysterious Chineseman and who else but Jet Li for the poor young boy. Perhaps Paris Hilton as our dismembered young tanner... I don't think there is any need to explain why she is in Korea other than to rid the world of her in a freak stunt accident reminiscent of The Crow.
Much as I would like to make this movie whilst I'm in Korea I fear it will never be made because of the strong belief that fan death truly is....A cause of death.
