Fortune Star a wholly owned subsidiary of the Star Group, Triage Entertainment and West End Stories have joined forces to produce "Hong Kong Café". This is an original one-hour series highlighting Hong Kong action movies and martial arts in the US. The series will be distributed in America by DreamWorks Television and in Asia by Fortune Star.

An official release informs that the series features Hong Kong action films' greatest scenes on a high-tech set. It will be offered for broadcasting to major U.S. TV networks and stations in the coming weeks. Production is scheduled to begin later this month in Los Angeles.

The series has access to more than 600 classic Hong Kong action films. This has been made possible by an extensive clip licensing agreement between Triage and Fortune STAR. It will feature legendary action films starring crossover martial arts stars such as Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Chow Yun-fat.

The high-tech café set is reminiscent of the bar/restaurant locale frequently seen in Hong Kong films, and will be frequented by rising stars. These series regulars will provide interstitial conversation along with comedy, fashion and music elements. Fortune STAR is the content arm of Star for distribution, production and commissioning of its programming content.
