On April 1, the 10th anniversary of Cheung’s death, Korean film studio Jackie said that they had finalized arrangements for the remake deal with the film’s original producing firm Mei Ah Entertainment Group.

“It would be the biggest pleasure for his fans who are commemorating the tenth anniversary of hisdeath. Although he’s not here anymore, we’ll bring another memory to them,” officials from Jackie said, adding that the remake film would be released across Asia.

Made in 1999 by director Daniel Lee Yan-Gong, the joint production of Hong Kong and Japan starred Asia's superstar Cheung and Japanese actress Takako Tokiwa and opened in all parts of Asia.

“Moonlight Express” is a tale about a woman who falls in love with a man who looks exactly like her old lover who died in an accident.
