Herman Yau and Dennis Law Teaming Up For Gong Tau

Hong Kong director Herman Yau is just an obscenely busy man right now and while his output can be frustratingly inconsistent the good stuff is very, very good and I'm more than a little intrigued by his latest project, Gong Tau. The website is now live but includes very little information, so what is there to be excited about? First, there's the presence of producer Dennis Law who filled the same role on Johnnie To's Election films and directed Fatal Contact. Law's no slouch and if he's involved that should pull Yau's game up a notch or two. Then there's the cast, also stocked with To regulars: Mark Cheng, Maggie Siu, Lam Suet, Hui Siu-Hung, Jay Lau all appear. Then there's the topic itself: as I understand it gong tau is essentially an asian variation on voodoo. Yes please.
