Hong Kong actors Nick Cheung and Daniel Wu attended the premiere of their new cop thriller "That Demon Within" (Mo Jing) in Beijing on April 10, 2014.

In the film, Wu plays a police officer who accidentally saves the life of a notorious gang leader, who is played by Cheung.

Cheung's character eventually returns to a life of crime, and Wu's police officer vows to risk all to bring Cheung to justice.

This is the first time Wu and Cheung have collaborated on-screen. Wu said he enjoyed working with Cheung and he looks forward to working together on future projects: "I am very happy to get the chance to work with Nick. I have made so many Hong Kong films, yet we haven't had the chance to work together. So when the director approached me (about this project), I was very happy and excited. I don't think we shared that many scenes together in this film, so I already asked the director to cast us in his next movie."

The film was directed by Hong Kong filmmaker Dante Lam, who won the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Director for his work on "Beast Stalker" in 2008.

Both Lam and Cheung have been nominated in the directing and acting categories at the upcoming Hong Kong Film Awards on April 13.

"That Demon Within" is set to hit the big screen in China on April 18.
