Hong Kong film "The Fantastic Water Babes" has seen its release delayed for about two years, as a result of lead actress Gillian Chung's infamous 2008 sex photo scandal. The film is finally scheduled to hit screens this summer, Mtime.com reports.

The film is directed by Jeffrey Lau and stars Gillian Chung, Huang Shengyi, Alex Fong, Stephen Fung and Tian Liang. This is Chung's first film as lead actress following her sex photo scandal with disgraced actor-singer Edison Chen.

"The Fantastic Water Babes", an urban romantic comedy, was shot back in 2007. Chung plays a pure girl who is discarded by her boyfriend and plans to win back his love by taking revenge with her friends.

This project marks Chung and director Lau's second collaboration, following his last film "Once upon a Chinese Classic".
