Bullet Brain (Chinese: 神探高倫布; literally "Great Detective Columbo") is a Hong Kong period fantasy television drama produced by TVB, with Lee Tim-sing serving as executive producer and Ip Kwong-yam serving as executive screenwriter. Produced at 25 episodes, the serial premiered on TVB Jade on 8 April 2013. It is set in British Hong Kong during the 1960s.
With the working title of Detective Columbo, the sales presentation trailer of Bullet Brain was first revealed at TVB's Programme Presentation 2012 in November 2011. The trailer, which starred Wayne Lai, Louise Lee, Tavia Yeung, and Evergreen Mak, was the second to the last trailer to air at the event. In December 2011, Lee announced that Bullet Brain is slated to begin filming in May 2012, but remained tight-lipped on the other details of the production. However, due to the studio's decrease in staff capacity, Lee lost many of his creative directors and scriptwriters, which will affect the pace of production. He further added that the cast seen in Bullet Brain's presentation trailer are not confirmed to star, with the exception of Wayne Lai.
In March 2012, it was revealed that Niki Chow was in negotiations for a leading role.Chrissie Chau and Elanne Kwong were also considered. The role was ultimately given to Natalie Tong.
TVB hired executive scriptwriter Ip Kwong-yam to return to write for the drama, whose last production with TVB was the 1996 fantasy drama Journey to the West, also produced by Lee.
A costume press conference attended by the main cast was held on 2 May 2012. Shooting officially commenced on 10 May 2012 in Hong Kong. A blessing ceremony was held on 7 June 2012, and filming officially ended on 15 August 2012.
