If one were to ask what are some of the greatest classic films that Hong Kong has ever produced, the title Infernal Affairs would most likely be mentioned.
Recently, the movie’s cast and producers gathered to celebrate the trilogy’s 20th anniversary by attending a screening of the remastered version of the movie in Hong Kong on 12 Dec.
After the screening, the 61-year-old Andy Lau told reporters that he plans to transform the classic masterpiece into a musical.
Hopes to Turn Film into Musical
When asked about how he is going to make the musical happen, Lau said that he does not know the timeline of events for now but he really has the motivation to do it and plans to do it as soon as possible.
He goes on to add that he can take on other roles as well instead of his original role.
Andy Lau was not the only one swamped by questions after the screening, with Andrew Lau, the Co-director of the movie also surrounded by reporters.
When asked if another sequel is possible, Andrew Lau says that it is not as the three-part movie is more than sufficient for a closure.

Andy Lau and Others Received Lower Pay
According to Andrew Lau the movie would not have been made possible without the cooperation of Andy Lau and the other actors.
