12 Lotus will also feature the work of composer Eric Ng from Funkie Monkies Productions and composer Ricky Ho, who worked on films like Tsui Hark's A Chinese Ghost Story and Legend Of Zu, a MediaCorp Raintree Pictures statement said. It is producing the movie with Scorpio East Pictures and Infinite Frameworks.
The movie will span the 1980s till the present day and feature Hokkien songs.
