Renowned Hong Kong director Johnnie To's stylish new action film "Exile (放逐)" hit Hong Kong cinemas on Tuesday.

Cast members, including Anthony Wong, Francis Wu, Simon Yam and Richie Jen, attended the press conference in Hong Kong yesterday. However, Anthony Wong's name was missing from the huge poster on the stage, which made him feel very embarrassed.

The 40 million yuan project is a loosely related sequel to To's earlier film "The Mission: Exiled." The new film was shown at this year's Venice Film Festival at the end of August.

"Exile" may not be screened in Chinese mainland because it contains too much bloody and violent scenes.
