Director Jack Neo has unveiled his main cast and story for his “kampong movie”, Long Long Time Ago.

Long-time collaborator Mark Lee will be reuniting with Neo for the first time in four years, starring alongside veteran MediaCorp actress Alieen Tan and getai entertainer Wang Lei in this period film.

Set in the 1960s, the film aims to look at Singapore’s post-independence struggle of racial riots, social unrest and gang activities through the focal point of a Chinese family’s trials and tribulations living in a kampong. Spanning a period of 10 years where many were going through mixed feelings about the big move out of the kampong for a better life, Tan will be playing Zhao Di, a pregnant widow who makes an unwelcomed return home to her patriarchal family with her three daughters. Lee is her estranged older brother Ah Kun, while Wang Lei plays her father.
