“Love Lies,” which will premiere at the 48th Hong Kong Intl. Film Festival, tells the tale of an internet romance scam. Ng recommended Cheung, a singer, to the producer. “I watched his concert and totally became intoxicated by him. He has such a charming stage presence, and he’s so handsome. He is totally convincing as an online conman. I’m telling you, he can charm people of all genders and age groups!” Ng shared in a press release.

Koo and Peng are set to reunite eight years after working together in “Call of Heroes” in “Trier of Fact,” a film that follows a detective and a crime division officer as they uncover the criminal activities of a drug lord.

”The Way We Talk” will explore the lives of deaf youths; helmer Wong’s previous films include “The Way We Dance” and “The Way We Keep Dancing.” “Good Game” depicts three individuals who come together to form a happy-hour esports team. “Behind the Shadows” will be One Cool’s first Malaysian production.

One Cool Film is under One Cool Group, a company founded by Koo in 2013.
