The Poster starred the Leading Actor, Lewis LIU, and Leading Actress, Lorene REN 任容萱.  In the poster, Lewis' eyes were covered by ‘strips of red cloth’, a symbol of Asian Sorcery, "觀落陰" (guan-luo-in), a dark Taiwanese witchcraft practiced leading the living people to descend into Hades to visit the dead.' 49 DAYS' is the first Taiwanese Horror and Crime movie that combine with guan-luo-in.

The design is full of Eastern elements. It shows the characters in broken mirrors, reflecting their fear and anxiety to discover the secrets hidden for decades.

People around him accidentally died one by one. Lorene REN played 'Yi-Chen', a Criminal Police, who suspects that Daniel is the murder. In their search for the girl’s identity in his nightmares, Daniel experiences a tour to the underworld "觀落陰" (guan-luo-in).

The Wrap Party

TAIPEI • On Wednesday night, December 13th, Actress, Lorene REN and Actor, Lewis LIU, arrived the Wrap Party to toast the Announcement of Complete Filming and the Poster Release. They strode onto the red carpet at 7 pm, where dozens of photographers and reporters had come out.

結合民俗「觀落陰」的懸疑推理國片《驚夢49天》昨晚13日舉辦殺青宴,女主角任容萱在片中飾演辦案的刑警,有許多武打動作,甚至有被性侵的戲碼,徹底甩開過去的甜美千金形象,給觀眾從沒見過的任容萱。將是首度挑戰自我,突破極限之作。

 

任容萱透露為該片獻出許多「第一次」,包括毒品交易及被鬼附身等,更有許多武打戲,她飾演強悍女警,一場捶牆戲讓她捶到左手掌側邊瘀青,打鬥戲更讓她打完回家肌肉超痠痛,第一次接觸武打的她,被武術指導稱讚打得不錯,也讓她開心表示:「我要轉型了!」。任容萱飾演的角色個性灰暗,在工作上探究犯罪心理,私底下卻有不為人知的過去,她首次演出較為陰鬱的角色,有許多情感掙扎的內心戲。

 

男主角劉國雄(Lewis Liu)有觀落陰的橋段,透露拍攝時讓他無比發毛;任容萱則是飾演有靈異體質的正義女警,發現和她有相同被性侵遭遇的含冤女鬼,為了幫女鬼討回公道,甚至不惜被女鬼附身。

 

在殺青酒會上,首度發佈電影前導海報,分別以女主角任容萱以及男主角劉國雄為主,劉國雄以遮眼戴上紅布「觀落陰」的造型出現,充滿東方民俗元素,人物視覺經破碎的鏡面切割,如噩夢般的虛實情景,刻劃出主角內心的糾結、分裂和高度焦慮,海報設計以鐵灰和血紅為主要顏色,展現本片結合偵探推理、神秘懸疑的驚悚氣氛。

 

本片由新銳導演詹家維執導,潘志遠擔任監製及編劇,主要演員包括新生代知名女星任容萱、金鐘影帝庹宗華、「劇場鬼才」陳家逵、《父後七日》演員朱家儀、《角頭二》演員李至元、香港演員古斌、有『國民美少女』封號的陳天仁、以及來自美國洛杉磯的華裔性格演員劉國雄。

 

《驚夢49天》目前進入後製階段,預計於2018年暑假在台上映。
