Fans of Hong Kong top-grossing HK crime blockbuster Cold War <寒戰> have reason to cheer, as two prequels were announced at the beginning of the year, set in 1994 and 1995 respectively.
Daniel Shares What He “Misses Most” When Filming Back Home
Keeping details tightly under wraps since cameras started rolling, the production unit of the Cold War prequel <寒戰前傳> only announced its main cast line-up comprising HK Film Award-winning trio, Daniel Wu (吳彥祖), Wu Kang-ren (吳慷仁) and Terrance Lau (劉俊謙), while teasing the unveiling of other “heavyweight” cast, heightening movie fans’ anticipation for the production!
Shifting his career focus to Hollywood in recent years, Daniel still feels nostalgic about the local productions through which he gained public recognition. Turns out that one of the things he misses most is local food, which he called “one of the things I really missed!”
After filming kicked off, Daniel had returned to the States briefly for work and road racing, one of his passions. The 49-year-old also shared a photo of his bento lunchbox in HK previously, when he appeared to dine from a scenic spot on the top floors of The Peninsula Hong Kong.
His lunch of steamed chicken rice and a luncheon sandwich not only showcased his love for local delicacies, but also appeared to reflect his upgraded “perks” as one of the film’s three leading actors.
