Last year, Bruce Le (aka Huang Kin Long), cult martial arts star of Mission Terminate and Bruce Stikes Back, wrapped up his 7th directorial feature, Eyes of Dawn (a redux of his 1992 film, Comfort Women), a drama starring Cheng Pei-pei (Golden Swallow), her daughter Marsha Yuen (Pound of Flesh), Kenneth Tsang (A Better Tomorrow) and Le himself.

The movie was Le’s first film project after a 20+ year absence from show business. Fortunately, his comeback isn’t about to stop there…

In a recently published interview by Impact’s Mike Leeder, here’s what the “Bruceploitation” star had to say: “In the last ten years, I have been thinking about making a very big kung fu movie, full blooded martial arts action… I would really like to make a big sized co-production between America and China, my dream project is to make something that would be worthy to be called Enter the Dragon 2. That's something I have been working on for some time, making preparation for the last few years. I know to make a movie that delivers on those elements will be a lot of work but its what I think I have to do.”

Le is obviously onto something. During a Q&A session (read the full interview) at the 2014 SENI Strength & Combat Event in London, the legendary Hwang Jang Lee (Invincible Armour) mentioned the possibility of reuniting with Le: “We made a few movies together in Europe. Actually he called me just last month, he asked if I want to be in a new movie with him. I said, sure, let's see.”

We’ll be sure to keep you updated on this story as we hear more. Stay tuned!

CJ Entertainment is releasing South Korean legal crime comedy, The Advocate: A Missing Body in North American theaters October 23. The film stars Lee Sun-kyun (A Hard Day), Kim Go-Eun (Memories of the Sword), Lim Won-Hee (No Blood, No Tears), Jang Hyun-Sung (Shiri) and Hong Sung-Duk (Assassination). The dark comedic twists in this sensational crime thriller are sure to take North American audiences on a wild ride.

Byun Ho-sung (Lee Sun-kyun) is a stylish lawyer with a penchant for "creatively" winning cases for his wealthy clients. His latest case is defending a corporate employee accused of murdering his girlfriend, but of course there is a catch: there's no body to be found.

The Advocate: A Missing Body is directed by Heo Jong-ho, who made his directorial debut with 2011's Countdown, which gained acclaim at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival. Director HEO brings his sophomore film to life with an incredibly talented cast and intriguing plot turns, promising to be his most ambitious and memorable film to date.
