[2024.04.20] DANIEL WU RETURNS TO HONG KONG FILM

Daniel Wu has not made a Hong Kong film in 8 years

Released in 2012 and 2016, the COLD WAR (HONG JIN) film series had decent box office and word of mouth. COLD WAR 2 even once topped the Hong Kong Chinese language film box office. Yesterday the film company announced that a prequel would be made and its 3 leads, including Daniel Wu (Ng Yin Cho), Wu Kang-Jen and Terrance Lau Chun Him. According to mainland document filings, the film would divide into two productions, COLD WAR 1994 (HONG JIN 1994) and COLD WAR 1995 (HONG JIN 1995). The story would revolve the titular years.

The focus character in the film "Lee Man Bun" would traverse between both sides of the law and swear to investigate the truth behind the crime, but because the cast and the crew have signed confidentiality agreements, who between Daniel, fresh out of the oven Golden Horse Award Best Actor Wu Kang-Jen and rising film star Lau Chun Him would play "Lee Man Bun" would have to be unveiled later. Reportedly the film would begin production next week in Hong Kong and construct a large scale set at the Shaw Studio.

Daniel since SKY ON FIRE (CHUNG TIN FOR) in 2016 has rarely made Hong Kong film. This time completely because of the script and sincerity he agreed to perform. Because the production would last 5 months, already settled in the U.S. he for work life balance would commute between Hong Kong and the U.S. Aside from the three leads, the film would also have many good actors like Gardner Tse Kwan Ho and Fish Liew Chi Yu, Carlos Chan Ka Lok and Jeffrey Ngai Chun Sun.
