Hong Kong – Celestial Movies will debut two special events in September – the world TV premiere of Korean pop superstar Rain’s latest concert, Rain: The Best Show, and the first and exclusive broadcast of big-budget Korean action drama HERO.

Besides these programmes, Celestial Movies will also continue to bring first and exclusive movie premieres to its subscribers this September, such as the 2012 Hong Kong Film Award-winning movie Life Without Principle.

With a budget of over US$3 million, Rain: The Best Show was shot in 3D (to be broadcast in 2D) and is a culmination of Rain’s greatest hits from his 10-year career as an artist and superstar. The concert was recorded on September 25, 2011 at Seoul’s Olympic Park Gymnastics Stadium during the last stop of his world tour, before he enlisted for the Korean National Service. Rain: The Best Show will premiere on Celestial Movies on September 23 at 9pm.

With the first two episodes having a US$1 million production budget, HERO premiered as the number one programme in its timeslot among all cable channels in Korea in March 2012. This ten-episode Korean action drama series is set in a fictional future where South Korea has gone bankrupt and its cities are crime-ridden and corrupt. HERO premieres exclusively on Celestial Movies on September 3.
