Europe-wide distributor Trinity CineAsia has secured full rights for the UK, Ireland, and Benelux to the Hong Kong comedy-drama NIGHT KING from Edko Films Ltd. It will open in the UK, Ireland, and the Benelux territories for the Chinese Lunar New Year, in line with its Hong Kong release.
Following A Guilty Conscience, Hong Kong’s first locally produced film to surpass HK$100M at the box office and winner of Best Film at the Hong Kong Film Awards, Director Jack Ng returns with his second feature for Lunar New Year 2026. Dayo Wong (The Last Dance, A Guilty Conscience) returns to lead, joined by Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress winner Sammi Cheng (Lost Love, Infernal Affairs). The two reunite on screen for the first time in twelve years since Temporary Family (2014), bringing Hong Kong’s renowned vivid nightlife to the big screen.
The year is 2012. The once-glamourous Club EJ suddenly experiences a hostile takeover. Much like the nightclub industry, the glory days are over for the club’s manager, Foon (Dayo Wong), despite having stood tall in East Tsim Sha Tsui for decades. To make things worse for Foon, the club’s new CEO is none other than his cutthroat ex-wife, Madame V (Sammi Cheng) ! Determined to change things up, she leaves Foon and his hostesses with no choice but to transform and modernize in order to breathe new life into their business. Little do they know, a powerful conglomerate has been pulling the strings all along to shut down Club EJ for good. To save their neon empire, Foon and V must join forces and make an epic last stand with the hostesses against what seems to be inevitable doom.
