Although he is only a supporting character, the character of teacher Kien in the movie The Last Wife is recognized as "mysterious, full of Victor Vu style", even though this movie belongs to the drama genre.
That's why in his next project, Victor Vu decided to return to his forte in the detective horror genre: A mysterious crime-solving adventure called "Detective Kien: The Headless Case".
At a press conference held on the afternoon of August 21, the director announced the cast, in which actor Quoc Huy will return to take on the role of detective Kien.
The film is introduced to be in the horror-detective genre with a historical setting, when the character Kien is invited to a village to investigate a mysterious disappearance.
However, before that, the film crew held a casting for the role of Kien, although Quoc Huy had received many positive reviews before. Victor Vu said the film's script was built in parallel with "The Last Wife", exploiting Detective story line in the novel "Lake of Resentment".
Therefore, the story and background of the character will be 60-70% different from "The Last Wife"; The film is more thorough, complex and profound, so he and the producer wanted the casting to be fair to the character.
Besides, Victor Vu and the producer also announced other roles with a cast of potential young actors: Quoc Anh as Thac, Pham Quynh Anh as Tuyet and Minh Anh as Nga. The film's three young actors all shared their excitement when working with director Victor Vu, whom they had always admired and wanted to collaborate with once.
The film is expected to premiere on May 26, 2025.
