Written by John Kamps ("Zathura") and David Koepp ("Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull") and directed by Koepp, "Ghost Town" is a lightcomedy about a misanthropic dentist, Bertram Pincus, who develops an unwelcome sixth sense after losing his vital signs for several minutes during a routine colonoscopy.
As a light-hearted comedy, it contrasts with the historical epics and action flicks that make up most of China's domestic film releases, says Liv Yi, an analyst at Beijing-based entertainment industry consultancy Entgroup.
Continue towards Campo di Santa Maria del Giglio, an area just west of the Piazza San Marco, where Woody Allen stalked Julia Roberts in the light-hearted comedy Everyone Says I Love You, then turn north to the theatre Teatro La Fenice and the nearby Ponte Maria Callas bridge, dedicated to American-born Greek opera singer Maria Callas who debuted at the theatre in 1947.
