Dayo Wong and Sammi Cheng to collaborate in new Jack Ng film
4 June - As rumours circulated of a sequel to his hit 2023 film, "A Guilty Conscience", it was reported that Dayo Wong will be collaborating with director Jack Ng again, though not for the sequel of the movie. As reported on Mingpao, on 2 June, Edko Films announced that filmmaker Jack Ng will be reuniting with his lead actor in a new movie, which will also star Sammi Cheng. "We can finally announce to you that Edko Films plans to start shooting a comedy film directed by Jack Ng and starring Dayo Wong and Sammi Cheng. Fans, see you at the cinema!" the company stated. This will not be the first time Dayo and Sammi worked together in a movie. The comedian has guest-starred in the singer's 2014 comedy movie, "Temporary Family", playing her ex-husband. He also was the surprise guest at Sammi's 2016 concert, where he shared an anecdote about meeting the singer for the first time. "After saying hello, we started talking about books. Sammi asked me if I had read 'Crime and Punishment' by Dostoevsky. When I said I hadn't, she told me I wouldn't understand it anyway. That was the end of it. Our relationship basically ended there," he joked. (Photo Source: Mingpao, ST Headline, Sammi IG)

Vital Signs movie review: Louis Koo, Neo Yau play ambulance paramedics in wistful drama
3.5/5 stars Advertisement In Vital Signs, the converging career paths of two ambulance paramedics at very different stages in their lives provide the unusual backdrop for a soul-searching drama rooted in today's Hong Kong, with characters pondering the essence of home as they reluctantly face a wave of emigration from the city. The fourth feature by writer-director Cheuk Wan-chi and her first since the 2014 comedy Temporary Family , Vital Signs comes across as a notably more mature work by the multi-hyphenate who is also known as a stand-up comedian – even if its themes are not always as tightly woven as they could be. When we first meet Louis Koo Tin-lok 's veteran ambulanceman Ma Chi-yip, he is not responding to emergencies at some chaotic disaster scene but quietly fielding the latest appeal from his visiting parents-in-law to join them in Toronto with his young daughter, Bonnie (Ariel So Yuet-yin, Warriors of Future ). 'This is not a great place for Bonnie to grow up in', says one of them while nodding towards the window of Ma's apartment in fire service quarters, referring to the city at large; Vital Signs was shot in 2021 – and an inferior version premiered at festivals in 2023 – but its social sentiments remain relevant. Advertisement Ma is a broken man who, apart from having a bad back, is still reeling from the death of his wife years ago. At work the widower displays a remarkable ability to save lives, a casual disregard for protocols and a near-insolent attitude towards bureaucracy.
