If you're a cinephile, chances are you know all of Wong Kar Wai's films, especially his magnum opus, the 2000 film, 'In the Mood for Love.'
For its 25th anniversary, Wong Kar Wai will release an extended version of 'In the Mood for Love,' complete with 4K high-definition resolution, and 9 minutes and 9 seconds of never-before-seen footage of the film. And be prepared, yearners of the world because according to some "news," the 25th anniversary edition of Wong Kar Wai's 'In the Mood for Love' will show Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung's intimate scenes—a scene that has been left out on the original version.

Ever since the news broke about the 25th-anniversary edition of 'In the Mood for Love,' film buffs and yearners are ecstatic and they can't hide their excitement on X! (Image via X/@MaqueEsquire)
Hilarity ensues when some fans remarked that they will still watch the film even if the never-before-seen footage involves more scenes of people walking or suffering from them, THEY WILL STILL EAT IT UP! (Image via X/@ranggied, @letterboxduserrr)
"Ah yes, just what we needed. To suffer an extra 9 minutes." - a user said
"When they stare at each other longingly for those 9 extra minutes, I will cry again." - another one added

Other fans are also asking if ever the 25th-anniversary edition of 'In the Mood for Love' will be shown, the lead protagonist, Maggie Cheung SHOULD HAVE an Honorary Oscar. (Image via X/@flowerdrums)
While some fans said that maybe the 9 minutes and 9 seconds never before seen footage of 'In the Mood for Love' will be about suffering and pain, others looked the other way (sarcastically). Maybe in the added scenes, Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung's characters will live happily ever after (intimate scenes included)!

"Finally the 9 minutes of sensual but weirdly explicit love making we have all been waiting for." - another one replied

In the Mood for Love: A Short Gist
In case you're wondering why many cinephiles are excited about Wong Kar Wai's 25th-anniversary edition of 'In the Mood for Love,' well, it's because of its rich cinematography, visually pleasing colors, and powerful story that made it one of the staples of films to watch if you're going to be invested in watching movies!
The story is simple. It follows 2 people (Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung) finding out that their lovers have an affair and as they find out about it, they become close, maybe even having lingering feelings for each other. Actually, 'In the Mood for Love' is part of an "unofficial" trilogy, alongside 'Days of Being Wild' and '2046.'
