Hong Kong director Herman Yau has started shooting a new suspense/horror movie entitled The Second Coming. Shot in 3D, the film stars up-and-coming Malaysian actress Joey Leong (Blood Ties) as a teenage daughter who has a ghostly encounter, forcing her family to confront their past.

The Second Coming is a Hong Kong-Singapore-Taiwan co-production that is being co-directed by Australian writer Ng Tin Chi, who also wrote the screenplay. Other cast members include Maggie Siu, Kenny Wong and Don Li.

Scheduled for release around mid-2013, the film will be distributed in Singapore and Malaysia by V Media Enterprises. Other distribution partners will be announced soon.
