Film Unlimited in Hong Kong has revealed the first look teaser trailer for a new Hk action film called Rob N Roll, from filmmaker Albert Mak. This is set to open in Hong Kong cinemas in January 2024, though no other international dates have been announced. Hong Kong pop star Aaron Kwok plays the lead character - a bucktoothed professional wrestler and robber who plans a major heist. The heist goes haywire when he meets two disillusioned middle-aged men. Gordon Lam co-stars as a taxi driver who unintentionally foils the heist, along with his friend played by Richie Jen. The trio ends up on the run from the cops and other criminals out to find them. The film's cast also includes Maggie Cheung Ho-yee, Nancy Wu, Lam Suet, Leung Chung-hang, and Calvert Fu. This is a quick teaser with just a few glimpses of the action to whet our appetites. It doesn't look so bad,...

Amazon has picked up a very different kind of young adult series that immerses you in a Ya novel — literally. The new comedy series titled Nancy Wu Done It comes from writers and executive producers Kai Yu Wu (co-executive producer of Amazon’s Paper Girls and Carnival Row) and Jessica Henwick (Iron Fist and Game of Thrones actress) and is described as a mashup of Pleasantville and Nancy Drew.
The story follows a frustrated Asian American female Ya author who suddenly finds herself transported into one of her own books. As a result, she must work with the titular character she created — who she now hates — to solve an unfinished mystery.
Nancy Wu Done It comes from Amazon Studios in association with Vertigo Entertainment. Roy Lee and Miri Yoon from Vertigo will serve as executive producers.
As inclusion is becoming more and more on top of mind in Hollywood, Nancy...

Sunny Chang graduated in script-writing from The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts and since then has been working in the Hong Kong film industry as a script-writer, often collaborating with director Joe Ma. “Men on the Dragon”, produced by One Cool Picture, is his first film on the director’s chair. He wrote the script in 2004 and slowly collected experience and all the elements to realize it.
A true explorer of human compulsions and feelings, Sunny also writes love columns in Hong Kong, where he probably finds lots of inspirations and knowledge of what men and women think.
Tony Wu Tsz Tung is a real-life baseball athlete and was discovered by director Steve Chan Chi-fat while casting for his “Weeds on Fire”. His, role in this film won Tony the Hong Kong Film Award for Best New Performer.
