Chow Yun-fat and Sean Lau Ching-wan Drop In, Compete to Become the Boss in the ‘City’

After the release of the movie “Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In”, starring Louis Koo and Raymond Lam, it sparked a fervor and achieved a strong box office performance, giving a great boost to the cast and crew. Director Cheang Pou-Soi plans to turn the film into a trilogy, with plans to shoot a prequel, a finale, and a spin-off called ‘Shin Yi’s Story’. Among them, the never-before-revealed character “Lui Chun-tung” is the prequel’s biggest mystery, and recently it’s been rumored that either Chow Yun-fat (“Fat Gor”) or Sean Lau Ching-wan will play the part.

Raymond Lam revealed some good news during a recent interview with Japanese media, stating that the finale will start filming in March, and he will undergo two months of closed-door special training beforehand. The latest updates indicate that the team behind “Twilight of the Warriors” has already received project approval from China Film Administration for both the finale and the prequel “Twilight of the Warriors: Dragonhead”, confirming that filming is on track, and preparations are at full throttle.

“Twilight of the Warriors: Dragonhead” will feature three “Walled City elders” played by Louis Koo, Aaron Kwok, and Richie Jen. However, Aaron Kwok’s character “Chan Chun” has a brotherly boss, “Lui Chun-tung”, who has yet to appear onscreen. It was once rumored that Tony Leung Chiu-wai would play this important role, but he has clarified that he wasn’t invited. Aaron Kwok, meanwhile, thinks Fat Gor (Chow Yun-fat) suits the character better, yet it’s now rumored that the part may go to Sean Lau Ching-wan, sparking widespread discussion. As for Chow Yun-fat or Sean Lau Ching-wan suddenly being cast as Lui Chun-tung, netizens are excited, praising both as great actors. However, some point out the character is either a hard man or a madman—roles that Fat Gor may not fit as well—believing Sean Lau Ching-wan is a better match. Meanwhile, the “Four Young Men of the Walled City”—Raymond Lam, Louis Cheung, Philip Keung, and Terrance Lau—will not appear in the prequel, as their characters weren't yet born at the time, which some netizens think is a pity.
