Chilam Cheung and Chrissie Chau to Star in HK Version of “Pretty Woman”
Chilam Cheung (張智霖) and Chrissie Chau (周秀娜) have been cast in an upcoming Hong Kong romantic film temporarily titled Billionaire Demon Falls in Love with Me <千億惡魔愛上我>, an adaptation of the 1990 American romantic comedy film Pretty Woman, which starred Richard Gere and Julia Roberts.
Reports say that Chilam will star as Richard Gere’s character, an extremely wealthy Casanova who always has his ways with women. He will not hesitate in giving his girlfriends a planet ticket to Japan so they can try out a local ramen delicacy, or even travel all the way to Paris so the women can purchase the latest luxury handbags. Chrissie Chau will portray an ordinary Mongkok girl, a role inspired by Julia Roberts’ prostitute character, Vivian Ward. In the film, Chilam will hire Chrissie as his escort so he can make his ex-girlfriend jealous.
Producer Stephen Shiu Jr. (蕭定一) admitted in a recent interview that his production company is currently working on the film project and the script is going through rewrites. Asked if Chilam and Chrissie would have passionate scenes, he said, “They’re unavoidable. It will be similar to the performance by Richard Gere and Julia Roberts.”
Chrissie became a fan of Chilam after watching his 2000 drama Return of the Cuckoo <十月初五的月光>. She was also very captivated by his popular pilot role in last year’s Triumph in the Skies 2 <衝上雲宵II>, and anticipates their project together.
The film, budgeted at over $50 million HKD, is expected to shoot at locations in Japan, Europe, the Mediterranean Sea, and Mexico. Patrick Kong (葉念琛) is slated to direct.
A slew of major film projects have lined up for Chilam ever since he signed with Stephen Shiu Jr.’s One Dollar Production as a management artist. Stephen Shiu Jr. expressed that he intends to promote Chilam as a leading actor in the Hong Kong film industry.

Sounds like an outlet for Chrissie to market her own lingerie brand.
Since Stephen Shiu Jr. produced “Sex and Zen 3D”, not sure what he has in mind ahead for Chilam’s film career. Is Chilam going to become the next sex symbol?
Won’t be surprised if chi lam gets turned into a movie porn star because his new bossed does porn movies

[You may/ may not like the change in lay out but you’ll definitely not be swarmed by those potentially virus pop-ups!]
Google Adsen$e… lol.
I thought Christie already have her own lingerie brand?
I hope Chilam will not go down the sex symbol path. I like him more as a happy go lucky guy.
I semi-agree. He successfully broke typecasting with Captain Cool. He should avoid being typecasted into someone else.
Lucky guy……gets to cuddle and fondle Chrissie in all those intimate scenes……go for it dude……..get inside of her while you can.
Chi Lam as Richard Gere’s character? hahaha LOL…Man, that’s insane. Suddenly, you see CLC these days, what the heck happended. haha LOL..he’s ok cute but no way…
Ordinary mongol girl is not the same as a prostitute. I don’t see the inspiration. And if it is inspired by that movie what an insult to mongkok girls.
oh love a good romantic comedy with Chilam. Chrissie is ok la
sandra ng right chi lam is nothing compared to nick cheung
the role would suit gilian chung better
well, it looks like Chilam is now being typecast as a playboy.
An HK copycat version of a Hollywood film? Talk about lack of originality! So where are the fans who usually diss remakes?
WOW…………that’s awsome………
but is it a movie in 3D or a tv show?????
so this is based on a hollywood,usa film
what hongkong are such a copycat????? they can make up themselves don’t always have to copy other people’s ideas!!!!!!!
chrissie chau is ok to me…….and
chilam cheung that was a most popular male pilot
Louis Koo would have been a better choice I think. And am not sure if Chrissie will be able to carry the character. Not to be mean, I think her face can play the character of a prostitute but can she bring more to it after that phase? Julia Roberts had an great personality and she was glamorous after the makeover.
great choice of female lead for sex scenes. wouldn’t want to see anyone else in them. coming from a female.
the stars will be her cleavage and boobs
plus she has a preety face.
her acting 唔錯.
