Aaron Kwok is set to star in a new movie by Steven Zhang Zhonghua called “IOU”.

The news was announced at the Hong Kong Filmart, saying that the project will reunite Aaron with Hong Kong producer Julia Chu, with whom he teamed up for “Port of Call” (2015) and “Where the Wind Blows” (2022).

Sharing the poster on social media, Aaron wrote, “The international poster for my new film IOU is being shown today at Filmart. The film is directed and written by new mainland director Zhang Zhonghua. I am working with two young actors from the mainland.”

“Through the process of debt collection, the film reflects many insights about life, with a touch of dark humour,” he added.

In the movie, Aaron plays the role of a man who decided to keep two siblings inside their own home as a way to force their father to repay a loan he gave so that he is able to pay his own debt.

The project was previously selected as a Top-30 finalist at the 33rd Golden Rooster Film Project Market and participated in the 20th Hong Kong International Film Festival’s industry programme.

Aaron was last seen on the big screen in “Rob N Roll”.
