Summer will soon arrive. This summer will have over 30 film releases but foreign films still have the advantage with one blockbuster after another; perhaps due to IRON MAN 3, hero films rise in this period with the Brad Pitt starred WORLD WAR Z, the Hugh Jackman starred THE WOLVERINE, MAN OF STEEL, PACIFIC RIM and 300 RISE OF AN EMPIRE as well as a parody hero film KICK-ASS 2. Andy Lau Tak Wa will carry the banner for Chinese films with two films, SWITCH (TIN GEI FU CHUN SHAN GUI TOH) with Lin Chiling and BLIND DETECTIVE (MAN TAM) with diva Sammi Cheng Sau Man. Both adults and children like the animation MONSTER UNIVERSITY, the television Best Actor Wayne Lai Yiu Cheung voiced DESPICABLE ME 2 and the AVATAR and the ICE AGE team's EPIC.
This summer Chinese films will feature police and special agent films. Lau Tak Wa will have two. First he will work with Lin Chiling on the special agent film SWITCH and open the summer. Then he will work with his old co-star Cheng Sau Man in the police film BLIND DETECTIVE. On the same week will be the Masaharu Fukuyama and Yuriko Yoshitaka starred MIDSUMMER FORMULA (with 5 days between the 2 film releases). "Galileo" and Masaharu Fukuyama have many Hong Kong supporters and the television series is a hit in Japan. Thus MIDSUMMER FORMULA will have certain draw in Hong Kong. However, Wa Jai and Cheng Sau Man's best partnership has always been a box office guarantee. Wa Jai as a blind detective will be also refreshing. The clash between BLIND DETECTIVE and MIDSUMMER FORMULA will be fierce.
Summer Hong Kong films will also include the Shawn Yue Man Lok starred SDU: SEX DUTIES UNIT (FEI FU CHOOK JING), the alternative choice of the Nick Cheung Ka Fai and Eddie Peng Yu-Yen fight film MMA (GIK JIN) and the fresh out of the oven Best Supporting Actress DaDa Chan Jing and the recently hot Christine Kuo starred HARDCORE COMEDY (CHUNG HAU MEI). Vicki Zhao Wei's directing debut Mainland hit OUR ETERNALLY LOST YOUTH and the Lee Bik Wa ghost series based TALES FROM THE DARK I (MAI LEI YEH) and II (KEI WAN YEH), this summer will truly be a battlefield with many choices.
