Juno Mak on Taking Ten Years to Direct Hong Kong’s Most Expensive Movie, ‘Sons of the Neon Night’: ‘I’ve Built a World Where it’s Freezing’ (EXCLUSIVE)

Now, in recent days Mak has resurfaced and revealed that the missing film is, in fact, largely completed and should be ready early in 2025. Moreover, it turns out that its principal cast includes four of the biggest names in East Asian cinema – Takeshi Kaneshiro, Tony Leung Ka-fai, Sean Lau and Louis Koo – and that Mak’s icy reinvention of Hong Kong has cost $50 million. It is about the butterfly effect, the consequences flowing from a decision made by one of the characters, and which upsets the balance of the place.
