Yuen Woo-Ping’s ‘Vigilantes’ to be released in 2014?

Acclaimed martial arts choreographer and filmmaker Yuen Woo-ping (True Legend) will tackle a three-part Chinese and Canadian co-production called Vigilantes. The first film in the series is titled Vigilantes: The Lost Order. It has been billed ‘The Matrix meets Wall Street.’ Now give your brain a moment to recover from imagining that crossover.

Vigilantes: The Lost Order follows a young female assassin who sets out to hunt down the villains that destroyed her family and along the way uncovers a global financial conspiracy ruling the world.

Interestingly enough, the Vigilantes movies will be shot in the English language. Yuen Woo-ping is, of course, no stranger to working on English-language productions but he has never actually directed a North American film himself.

While it might be a bit hasty to plan Vigilantes as a trilogy before the first film has even proven a hit, that’s production companies for you. The crucial role of Vigilantes’ leading lady has yet to be cast.

Updates: We’re not sure what’s going on with Vigilantes, which was first announced back in 2012. Birch Tree states that the movie is “In Development,” with a U.S. release date set for 2014. They even released a teaser poster. Considering Yuen Woo-Ping probably has his hands full with Donnie Yen’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2, a 2014 release for Vigilantes is highly unlikely (we wouldn’t be surprised if the project has been scrapped completely).
