PARAMOUNT+ REVEALS FIRST LOOK AND PREMIERE DATE FOR NEW ORIGINAL FILM "LOVE IN TAIPEI"

Based on the New York Times' Best-Selling Novel Loveboat, Taipei by Abigail Hing Wen, The Film Stars Ashley Liao, Ross Butler and Nico Hiraga

Produced by ACE Entertainment and 1 Productions Film, LOVE IN TAIPEI will Premiere Exclusively on Paramount+ on Thursday, August 10

June 28, 2023 - Paramount+ today released first-look images from the all-new YA film LOVE IN TAIPEI, based on the New York Times' best-selling novel Loveboat, Taipei by Abigail Hing Wen, in which a young American woman is sent by her parents to a cultural immersion program in Taipei - inspired by an actual program attended by thousands of Chinese and Taiwanese diaspora youth - where she begins a new journey of self-discovery and romance. LOVE IN TAIPEI will premiere Thursday, August 10 exclusively on the service in the U.S. and Canada, followed by the UK and Australia on Friday, August 11. Premiere dates for Latin America, Brazil, Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, South Korea and additional territories will be announced at a later date.

LOVE IN TAIPEI stars Ashley Liao (Physical, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes) as Ever Wong, whose summer takes an unexpected turn when her parents surprise her with a trip to Taipei for a cultural immersion program. Ever is surprised to discover that she hasn't signed up for homework and history lessons, but instead for a summer-long free-for-all the locals and other students call "Loveboat." It quickly lives up to its name when Ever finds herself trying not to fall for two attractive, but wildly different boys who are vying for her attention, while at the same time finding the courage to defy her parents' high expectations and pursue her true passion: dancing. 

In addition to Ashley Liao, LOVE IN TAIPEI also stars Ross Butler (Shazam! Fury of the Gods, To All The Boys franchise) as Rick Woo, an prominent sports and scholastic prodigy; Nico Hiraga (Booksmart, Moxie) as Xavier Yeh, a free-spirited artist and heir to an international tech empire; Chelsea Zhang (Daybreak, Titans) as Ever's friend Sophie, whom she meets at Loveboat; and Cindy Cheung (The Sinner, 13 Reasons Why) as Ever's Aunt Shu.

LOVE IN TAIPEI is directed by Arvin Chen (Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?) and produced by Matt Kaplan for Ace Entertainment. The film, shot on location in Taipei, is based on the bestselling book Loveboat, Taipei by Abigail Hing Wen, who also serves as executive producer, and screenplay by Charlie Oh and Mackenzie Dohr. Christopher Foss, Matthew Janzen, Max Siemers, Aubrey Bendix, Cheng-Chung Chang, and Ross Butler also serve as executive producers. The production was headed by Ace Entertainment, which purchased the film rights to the novel, financed and oversaw production with 1 Productions Film. Lionsgate handled the film's sale globally to Paramount+. Paramount Global Content Distribution will distribute the film, with additional territories to be announced.

HarperCollins published the book series, which continues the journey with Loveboat Reunion and the upcoming Loveboat Forever.
