Tony Leung as LKY?

This is too hilarious. Just heard that HK actor Tony Leung is going to play Lee Kuan Yew in an upcoming movie about Singapore's post-independence years. It is a jointly-produced film between Hong Kong and Singapore titled “1965″. With a star cast of Tony Leung, Maggie Cheung and Oscar-nominee Julian Moore, the producers hope to to rewrite Singapore’s film history. 

A reader sent this poster to theonlinecitizen. The onlinecitizen asks, "Does that mean Andy Lau gets to play Goh Keng Swee?"

Within one hour, more than 100 comments came in fast and furious.... they went wild with imagination...

Vanessa Choo 
"Some one with Shek Kin's looks will be more suitable to play LKY."
