Two Best Actresses Wai Ying Hung and Nina Paw Hee Ching team up for new director Juno Mak Chun Lung's film RIGOR MORTIS (GEUNG SI). The film has participated in the Venice Film Festival, the Toronto Film Festival and the Tokyo International Film Festival and received overall positive reviews that gave the team a shot of confidence. Wai Ying Hung said that at first when Mak Chun Lung approached her she did not know that he was a singer. She said, "(Willie) Chan Chi Keung introduced me, later Mak Chun Lung called me and talked about the script for a long time. I thought for a long time when did Hong Kong have a director called Mak Chun Lung? Did he come back from studying overseas? Which film was he the assistant director on? Later when I went to see him at his company I realized that it was him." Paw Hee Ching admitted that she has always turned down ghost stories out of fear. Later Mak Chun Lung personally called to persuade her and finally she was moved to take the role.
