Magnolia Pictures is to release Johnny To's action thriller Exiled, according to Variety.

Set in the Hong Kong underworld and modeled after To's 1999 "The Mission," had its North American premiere Thursday at the Toronto International Film Festival. The deal was completed following its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival. "A lot of people thinking that the Hong Kong gangster film ran its course in the '90s are going to be pleasantly surprised by the freshness and innovation of 'Exiled,' " said Eamonn Bowles, president of Magnolia Pictures, which will release the film next year in the U.S.
