HONG KONG -- Constantin Film has acquired all German rights to "Eye In The Sky," a Hong Kong-set crimer that preemed in Berlin and was the opening film of the Hong Kong Int'l Film Fest.

          Pic, sold by Hong Kong and Amsterdam-based Fortissimo Films, is the directing debut of noted screenwriter and long-time Johnnie To partner Yau Nai Hoi. It was produced by To's Milky Way Image and Sundream Motion Pictures.

          Deal, signed by Fortissimo co-chief Wouter Barendrecht and Constantin acquisitions head Yoko Higuchi, is the first between the two companies. Pic was previously licensed to ARP Selection for France.

          Story is a cat and mouse game involving sophisticated jewel thieves and police surveillance specialists. Pic stars Tony Leung Kar-fai, Simon Yam and newcomer Kate Tsui.
