TVB series, Line Walker (使徒行者) starring Michael Miu (苗侨伟), Raymond Lam (林峯) and Charmaine Sheh (佘诗曼) is broadcasted last year and the ratings record is satisfactory. Mainland China company, Bona Film Group (博纳公司) cooperates with Media Asia (寰亚) and include Louis Koo (古天乐) to film the movie version. TVB is also one of the investors.
The director for the movie version is Jazz Boon (文伟鸿) who is the film producer of Line Walker. Tommy Leung (梁家树) used to belong to senior management of TVB and works for Media Asia now. Hence, he will be the film producer of the movie. Charmaine Sheh continues to act as 'Ding Jie 钉姐' but Raymond Lam (Bao Seed (爆Seed)) will not be filming the movie. However, new cast members such as Louis Koo and Nick Cheung (张家辉) are added as members from black triad, while Francis Ng (吴镇宇) acts as a brilliant cop.
As for the storyline, 5 undercover from the series will continue and 6th undercover will be added as well. Thus, the movie theme is based on the black triad is investigating the identity of 6th undercover and is it Nick Cheung or Louis Koo? Let's leave it to the audiences to find out!
The production budget for Line Walker movie is set at HKD 85 million and the filming will start in December for estimation. The location shooting might take place in Brazil but will forgo if exceeds the budget.
