BLIND DETECTIVE Cannes Midnight Movie by Johnnie To

We have the first teaser trailer for Johnnie To‘s upcoming Blind Detective movie! Originally titled Man Tam was selected to play as part of the Midnight selection at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, which is a good reason to check it out, don’t you think?

Johnnie To directed the movie from a script written by Ka-Fai Wai, and the movie has a pretty cool cast on board. It includes Andy Lau as a former inspector of the Regional Crime Unit known as “The God of Cracking Cases” and Sammi Cheng as a female police inspector. They team up to solve the mysterious case, and that’s exactly when the action begins…

In other words:

“Forced to leave service after turning blind, former detective Chong See Tun ekes out his living by solving cold cases for police rewards. During a bank robbery case, he meets an attractive hit team inspector Ho Ka Tung. When Ho notices Chong’s strong sense of hearing and smell, she enlists his help in a personal case and he decides to take a stab.”

Beside Lau and Cheng, The Blind Detective also stars Guo Tao, Gao Yuanyuan, Zi Yi and Lang Yue Ting.
