<3> does not precisely refer to a variable, a theme, a trinity, or all of the above, but at best, an impenetrable code of mysteries. Amidst the labyrinth of human nature, fear is perhaps the most mysterious, if not the most unique emotion of all. It constitutes a drive so powerful that can induce acts as outrageous and unimaginable as those against our will and desire. Through fear the dictators become invincible, and through fear we transgress the limit of our capability. It is this un-chartered zone that would always feed the wildest imagination of directors of all generation.
The movie THREE is an omnibus of Asian mystery tales, inspired by the desire of three film-makers in three very different countries - Korea, Thailand and Hong Kong - to create an exciting new movie in a proven genre which would appeal to audiences across Asia. THREE represents a true pan-Asian collaboration, as it brings together three acclaimed directors from each country - respectively Kim Jee-woon, Nonzee Nimibutr and Peter Ho-sun Chan - as well as three vibrant new film production companies - b.o.m film production, Cinemasia and Applause Pictures.
