In the film, Liu and Kwok portray two ex-lovers who have to face each other day and night in the space capsule. They both said that it is a big challenge for them to perform when there is no gravity.

The film is a sequel to last year's romantic comedy, "Hot Summer Days".

It follows a mother and her three grown-up daughters as they juggle their love lives. Each woman is successful in everything but love until they encounter romance in Beijing, Sydney and in outer space.

Co-directed by "Hot Summer Days" directors Wing Shya and Tony Chan, the film also stars Eason Chan, Kwai Lun-mei, Angelababy and Jing Boran.

The film is set to hit Chinese screens on September 9.
