It seems like forever since director Soi Cheang and producer Johnnie To began work on their underground racing thriller, MOTORWAY, with the first proper trailer surfacing almost exactly a year ago to the day. Well, now the chequered flag seems to be in sight as Media Asia has released a new trailer and announced that the film, which stars a host of familiar faces, including Shawn Yue, Anthony Wong, Barbie Hsu, Michelle Ye, Gordon Lam and Guo Xiaodong, will make its debut in China this coming June. 

The story focuses on Sean (Yue), a cocky police officer who goes undercover in a special tactical unit designed to take down secret underground racing gangs, and by the looks of the trailer, the production shot in some of Hong Kong's most built up and familiar areas. The score too helps give the film a similar vibe to Nicolas Winding Refn's DRIVE, and if Cheang can recapture half of that film's sense of cool we should be in for a treat!
