TVB Movie News

Apart from making "Laughing Gor's Prequel" (filming will begin after Michael Tse is finished filming "Hail the Husband"), TVB and Shaw Brothers will also film two other movies. One will be in collaboration with EEG, while the other one will star Sandra Ng, Eric Tsang, and all of TVB's siu sangs and fa dans called "73 Tenants". The director will be Lee Lik Chi. The movie will be similar to Shaw Brothers' 1973 comedy production "72 Tenants" (七十二家房客). Lee said that the movie is planned to be filmed in July or August.

The producer will be Eric Tsang.

FYI: The 1973 production of "72 Tenants" (七十二家房客) starred Lydia Shum, Wu Kam, Elliot Yue, Lee Ching, Adam Cheng, Ting Pau, Nam Hung, Chor Yuen, Danny Lee, Kuk Fung, Ricky Hui, Helena Law, Leung Tin, Sai Gwai Pao, Ho Sau Sun, etc. The movie had a box office of 5.6 million, and it even beat Bruce Lee's "Return of the Dragon" for the number one movie of that year.

  1. Yep, I already heard of Laughing's movie, wonder who'll be the other leads besides Michael T.
    The one with EEG is probably starring singers?
    And the other one with Sandra and Eric and siu sangs/fa dans sounds interesting, I really wonder if Selena can be part of it. Since it'll be filmed in july/august and by the time Selena has already finished Iron Horse, I think.

  2. When they mention "All of TVB's siu sangs and fa dans will be in it," that basically means a lot of people. Selena has a chance of being in it. :D

  4. I heard that Miss Lok is responsible for casting. I don't know about casting actors and actresses who can do comedy, but I can bet you'll see her favourites in it. Ha ha...

  5. Is it going to be all the younger fadans and siusangs? or all tvb actors? to me, myolie and bosco are both suited best for comedies but that might seem like another war of in laws! i hope they have a few main characters but my dream would be: myo, bosco, ray, linda, kenneth, bernice as the main ones since they can all do comedy

  6. AC: If Miss Lok is responsible for casting, then it doesn't matter if the artistes are best suited for comedy. She'll cast her favourites in it for sure! :D
