Cast

Production

The film was first announced in March 2022 at the Hong Kong International Film & TV Market (FILMART) in March under the title Insider, with Alan Mak set to direct and to star Aaron Kwok, Simon Yam, Raymond Lam, Alex Fong, Kathy Yuen, Niki Chow and Gladys Li, with production slated to begin in May of the same year after it was postponed from February amid the fifth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Hong Kong. Kwok was originally scheduled to participate in a film produced in Mainland China in June, but because he had a strong interest in the film's script, Kwok rearranged his schedule to act in the film. Mak revealed the script for film took three years to complete [2] [3] On 11 May, it was reported that Lam had dropped out of the film in favor of participating in a reality TV show in China and was replaced by Francis Ng. Mak originally had William Chan in mind to replace Lam, but instead opt for Ng as the character was a middle-aged man with much life experience. [4]

Principal photography for the film, which is now titled Under Current, began on 6 June 2022, where a production commencement ceremony was held attended by the cast and crew, hosted by Emperor Group chairman Albert Yeung. [1] [5]

Release

The film was originally scheduled to be released in 2023, as advertised on its posters and in its trailer, but no official release date has yet been confirmed.
