Winning the Ultimate Music Group gold prize for the third time, the band Dear Jane this year stepped foot into the film industry and hoped their theme song for DELIVERANCE (YUEN SUN JUI) would be nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Original Film Song. Dear Jane's Howie said, "It would be very different from attending music awards. After so many years in music, when we run into something fresh we would feel it's very interesting, so we have to fight hard to be nominated. For the Film Awards we have to dress more formally. The four of us have already come up with wearing different color tuxedo. I would wear pastel blue because it's cool."

First time participating in a film production, lead vocalist Tim not only provided his voice but also played the female lead Summer Chan Chi Huen's fiance. He also revealed that the theme song actually was from 10 years ago, only back then the timing was not right so it did not see the light of day. "The song is great, when we were releasing new songs before, occasionally we would think of this song. In the past year of two we arranged the song anew, it doesn't feel old at all."

Aaron Kwok Fu Sing, Gordon Lam Ka Tung and Richie Jen (Yam Yin Chai) starred in the Lunar New Year film ROB N ROLL (LUM SI GIP ONG), in which the trio stumbled their way into forming a team to commit robbery. Siu Chai revealed that this time was the first time he challenged the dark humor genre, thought the movie was absurd yet realistic and joked that he has thought about committing robbery. "The news reported a robbery, the robber got away!' He also revealed that while in school he did not have the money to buy instruments, once someone offered NT$ 200,000 to invite him to make a category III film. "At the time I was 20, I asked him if I could be a body double. The actor could keep the face while the lower half would be me. (Did you have a lot of confidence in your physique?) I used to be in a sports academy, I was in great shape. In the end I didn't do it, I went to work for an instrument company."

Ka Tung joked that because he was afraid of dying, he never thought about committing robbery. He said, "When I am broke at most I would work a few more jobs. Once I worked at a travel agency, as a hotel waiter and a delivery person. (Why did you want to make money so more?) Buy records, from then to now I really like to listen to music. (Have you thought about being a singer?) I have to protect the music scene, I am completely off key."
