Here’s some news about a movie that I’ve been keeping my eye on for a little while now in terms of release date. The Goldfinger is described as a Hong Kong crime epic and now it has a UK release date: December 30th in previews and than wider from 5th January.
The Goldfinger stars Tony Leung (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, The Grandmaster) and Andy Lau (The Wandering Earth II, House of Flying Daggers), teamed with Infernal Affairs co-writer Felix Chong (The Silent War, Overheard).
The duo first collaborated more than 20 years ago on original 2002 box office sensation Infernal Affairs which earned international acclaim and paved the way for a hit trilogy as well as that 2006 Scorsese remake, The Departed.
Cine Asia will distribute the film in the UK.

Inspired by true events and set during the 1980’s, The Goldfinger follows the rise and fall of a multi-billion-dollar company and its chairman Cheng Yi-yan (Leung), who undergoes a major investigation led by an elite anti-corruption investigator (Lau). The result is a relentless and intriguing 15-year investigation in pursuit of the truth.
Very much looking forward to this. The film actually debuts in its native Hong Kong on December 30th as well.
