Connected (film)
Connected (traditional Chinese: 保持通話; simplified Chinese: 保持通话) is a 2008 Hong Kong action film written, produced and directed by Benny Chan, and starring Louis Koo, Barbie Hsu, Nick Cheung and Liu Ye
It is a remake of the 2004 American film Cellular. The film tells the story of Bob (Louis Koo) who receives a distressing phone call on his cellular phone from Grace Wong (Barbie Hsu) who has been kidnapped by a gang of corrupt Interpol agents who have a hidden agenda.
Producers felt that a remake of Cellular would reach out to Hong Kong's cell phone user population, and decided to hire Benny Chan to develop a screenplay for the film. Chan and his screenwriters spent two years working on the script. For Connected, Chan wanted to improve on the previous film by making the characters and the situations in his remake seem more believable. Principal photography took place in Hong Kong.
Connected was released in Hong Kong on 25 September 2008.

Famous quotes containing the word connected:
“A peasant becomes fond of his pig and is glad to salt away its pork. What is significant, and is so difficult for the urban stranger to understand, is that the two statements are connected by an and and not by a but.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
