2003’s Running on Karma was one of the strangest yet ultimately fulfilling Hong Kong movies ever made, and now, 12 years later, directors Johnnie To (Election 2) and Wai Ka Fai (Too Many Ways To Be #1) are currently at work on a 3D sequel.
Andy Lau (Switch) is slated to return. Cecilia Cheung, however, is not on the radar. According to Jaynestars (via DiP), To wasn’t fond of her unprofessional habits during the filming of the original Running on Karma – such as a lack of punctuality and frequently calling in sick – so replacing Cheung will be Gao Yuanyuan (Rob-B-Hood). Jacky Heung (True Legend) will also be appearing.
We’ll keep you updated on Running on Karma 2 as we hear more. Stay tuned!
