Fat Hope (Chinese: 超磅名模) is a 2024 Singaporean comedy-drama film directed by Joyce Lee. It stars Alien Huang, Lin Yu-pin and Liu Lingling. The film opened in Singapore cinemas on 8 February 2024.[1]
An aloof runway supermodel turns overweight after being cursed and must find ways to lose weight to save her career.
Principal photography commenced in 2018, with post-production audio mixing work done in Thailand.[2] Originally intended to play in theatres in 2020, the film's release was delayed several times due to the COVID-19 pandemic, lead actor Alien Huang’s death in September 2020 and production problems.[3] In early September 2023, it was announced that the film will be released on 8 February 2024 in Singapore, during the Chinese New Year holidays.[4][5]
