LAU CHING-WAN TALKS JOHNNIE TO PROJECT

Lau Ching-wan revealed the basic plot of his upcoming Johnnie To project recently. It's about a cop who develops a mental illness and takes a leave of absence, but still insists on investigating a crime. And, surprise, the mental illness helps him to solve the crime. This sounds a little bit like the first great To/Lau collaboration LOVING YOU where Lau Ching-wan plays a jerk of a cop who loses his sense of smell and becomes a better person while tracking down a killer.

I LOVE Lau Ching Wan. I don't care if he's missing one eye, one ear, one leg, can't smell, see or hear. Just get him back into something besides romantic comedy/silliness.

I really wish he'd gotten the part for the fellow cop to Donnie Yen in the upcoming Po Jun. Or at least some part. He'd eat up the screen though.

More LCW!

I look forward to seeing Lau Ching-wan in his upcoming adaptation of the hit television series MONK.
