The easy thing would be to cast Gillian as Samantha because of the scandal but Gillian doesn't have the personality to play Samantha. I could see Joey as Carrie and I think Charlene would be the best Charlotte. But it'll be a disaster. Maybe Yumiko could be Samantha since she's exposed herslef so many times already ...

I hope that anthony wong gets to play 'ghost' and simon yam gets to play sun yat-sen's younger brother in this movie also... it's always great on paper to have an all-star cast for a movie, but is there enough screen time to go around for leon lai, donnie yen, aaron kwok, nic tse, etc to share? the great thing about 'the mission' was that francis ng, anthony wong, roy cheung, lam suet, etc, were all great character actors and did not require to be in the forefront all the time to satisfy them. well, I guess we'll see if more is better... as for the korean actress suicide, I remember reading grady hendrix's kaiju shakedown and every couple of months there was news of a suicide in the korean entertainment circle, and grady was saying that it is turning into a disturbing trend. I think hk's entertainment business is not as shady as it once was in the 80's and 90's, I think the korean entertainment business is currently more sinister than hk's but they keep it hidden better... the ‘dark october’ sounds like ‘the mission’, but instead of protecting ko hung, the gangster, they are protecting sun yat-sen, the revolutionist.
