Development

In May 2023, Mandarin Motion Pictures announced the development of a legal thriller under the working title Misjudgement at the 76th Cannes Film Festival, with Donnie Yen attached as the lead actor and Raymond Wong as the producer.[6] [7] Yen also served as the director and co-producer, while Wong was the primary investor.[8] The film's budget exceeded $HKD 300 million.[9] On 27 September, Yen confirmed that pre-production would soon be wrapped during the 10th Silk Road International Film Festival.[10] In November, Julian Cheung and MC Cheung Tin-fu joined the cast,[11] with singer MC Cheung being handpicked by Yen for a role he deemed suitable for him.[12] In May 2024, the film was presented at the project market during the 77th Cannes Film Festival,[13] [14] coinciding with the release of a promotional poster that appeared on the cover of Screen International.[15] An official trailer was released in September, with Francis Ng and Kent Cheng revealed to be part of the cast.

Filming

Principal photography began in October 2023. A group of Japanese action choreographers and stunt actors was invited to join the production crew. Yen served as the action director alongside his frequent collaborators Kenji Tanigaki and Yu Kang.[16] On 14 November, filming took place in Sai Wan.[17] Yen then took a brief hiatus to attend an awards ceremony in Singapore, and filming resumed on 19 November in Sai Ying Pun, where Yen and MC Cheung were spotted on set. Filming spanned across January 2024,[18] and ultimately wrapped on 6 February 2024.[19]
