Hong Kong filmmaker Stephen Chow is back in action, gearing up for his first movie in nearly six years.
Late last year, he announced plans to direct Shaolin Women's Soccer , his first project since 2019's The New King Of Comedy .
Naturally, famous old friends are rallying behind him – including actress Carina Lau, who co-starred with Chow in the 1996 hit Forbidden City Cop .
Lau recently posted a photo of the two on Instagram, sparking both nostalgia and speculation.
In the picture, Chow leans his head on her shoulder and wraps his arms around her, while Lau smiles brightly and gives a thumbs-up.
She captioned it with a famous line from Forbidden City Cop (1996), Sin Chew reported:'Aren't you hungry? I'll cook you some noodles to eat!'
The affectionate post set fans abuzz – not just because of the throwback vibes, but because of what Lau was wearing: a white jersey printed with the logo for Shaolin Women's Football .
Could this be a subtle hint that Lau is joining the cast of Chow's upcoming film after their last collaboration almost 30 years ago?
Fans are hopeful.
