TVB's ancient dramas with special effects have always been popular and guaranteed ratings, so TVB will begin filming for a remake of the popular classic series "Ten Brothers". The intention was to arrange for newly-weds Frankie Lam and Kenix Kwok to play a married couple and lead roles in the show and reports indicate that Frankie and Kenix have decided to break their evasion of this situation over recent years and take on the roles. Although Wong Jing has recently made a movie version of the show starring Kenny Bee and Cheung Man as a couple, the TVB version will be using the classical storyline starring Cheung Ying and Lo Yim Hing as a blueprint. Set in the early Nationalist period, the story tells of a couple who swallows ten pearls, leading to the birth of ten brothers. In the blast of a wind, the ten brothers grow big and they each have a special power and from the eldest, become 'Thousand Mile Eye', 'Following Wind Ears', 'Strong Number Three', 'Thick Skinned Four', 'Flying Five', 'Metal Head Six', 'Long Leg Seven', 'Tunnelling Eight', 'Big Mouth Nine' and 'Crying Ten'. Working together with their special gifts, they fend off danger and evil.The ten brothers will be played by newcomers, such as Lai Lok Yi as the eldest brother, Jack Wu as Strong Three, Lo Koon Fung as Flying five and Matt Yeung as Long Leg Seven. As they will each have superhuman powers, TVB will be adding a large element of computer generated imagery and surely with the technology available today, this batch of 'Ten Brothers' will be the most appealing yet.It is reported that for Frankie and Kenix to take on the role, it required a while for them to decide, because since they appeared together ten years ago in the show "Down Memory Lane", where the couple met and fell in love, they have not worked together since as they did not want to be so close in public. Now that they are married, then Frankie and Kenix feel that this role is right for them to work together again, so they have agreed to do it. When asked if she was worried about working with so many fresh faces, Kenix says: "Not at all, many of them are from the acting classes too." It is suggested that another reason for the couple's decision is the guaranteed overseas market for the show that will help them gain international exposure.
