"Burning Flame III" - Wong He, Kevin Cheng, Steven Ma, Bosco Wong, Maggie Cheung, Flora Chan, Miriam Yeung, Esther Kwan, etc.) NOT CONFIRMED
TVB's classic "Burning Flame" series won in ratings and in feedback. The third installment will be a big production series for 2008 and will be filmed early next year. Wong He will continue the "Firefighter's Glory" and take on the number one male lead, alongside Kevin Cheng, Steven Ma, and Bosco Wong. Bosco was asked who will be the female lead and his response was, "There will be a surprise".
Who will be the female lead?
TVB always intended on having Maggie Cheung and Flora Chan film in series again. However, Maggie only wants to take on lighter series, and with BFIII being a big production, she is still in consideration. On the other hand, TVB has been persuading Flora to return and film after giving birth. After having a daughter, Flora's interests in taking on series are very slim. Then again, there just might be a possibility of filming the series.
Steven also revealed that after 《王子復仇記》, he will be working with Sonija Kwok in a series. Sonija Kwok said that she will be anticipating the series because she always wanted to play the role of a firefighter.
Miriam Yeung also expressed her interests in filming for TVB again. She also revealed that she may take part in BFIII. She will be playing a more comical role who is not required to be in uniform. It will be more somewhat of a relaxing role. Miriam also laughed and explained that Niki Chow might be envious of her because, in the series, she and Kevin Cheng will be a couple.
In addition, there are reliable sources indicating Esther Kwan will be participating in the third installment as well. She will be working with Wong He again.
Personal Note: If Esther is in this, then it would be awesome! But I can't see Maggie or Flora filming BFIII. There is absolutely no way Maggie is in this because she doesn't like filming sequels. I can't see Flora getting back to filming so quickly now that she has a daughter.
Also, why would TVB kill BFIII having Kevin Cheng and Sonija Kwok both in it? Well, I guess they already ran out of ideas for series since most of the series next year will be sequels.
If any of this is true, then it would be great to see Esther, Flora, and Maggie in the same series (that is not likely to happen). With Wong He in the series, he will most definitely add the fire to "Burning Flame III". :)
