Tony Leung Ka-Fai & Juno Mak Talk ‘Sons Of The Neon Night’, Calls On Audiences To Treasure Cinemas — Cannes Film Festival


At the Cannes Film Festival, 'Sons of the Neon Night' stars Tony Leung Ka-Fai & Juno Mak sat down with Deadline to talk about their film, the state of theater-going and challenges of shooting a wintry Hong Kong.

Starring veteran actors Takeshi Kaneshiro ( Chungking Express), Sean Lau ( Papa), Tony Leung Ka-fai( Double Vision), Louis Koo ( Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In), and Gao Yuanyuan ( Blind Detective), Sons of the Neon Night is written and directed by Juno Mak, who is also a record producer and musician. Leung and Mak sat down with Deadline to talk about shooting in a “wintry” Hong Kong, a “magical” six-hour music session with the late Ryuichi Sakamoto — and they also call on audiences to keep coming back to cinemas. The death of a pharmaceutical company chairman unleashes a wave of chaos and power struggles in the underworld, while his youngest son attempts to break away from his family’s criminal legacy.
