| Donnie Yen to return for a 4th ‘Ip Man’ film? Posted: 23 May 2016 04:53 AM PDT  "Ip Man 3" Chinese Teaser Poster Despite publicly stating that Ip Man 3 was his last Ip Man film, martial arts superstar Donnie Yen (Ip Man 3, Kung Fu Jungle) isn’t ruling out the idea of revisiting the Ip Man character for a fourth time. In a recent round table discussion (read it here) by our very own Zach Nix, here’s what Donnie had to say: “There's a potential for a fourth… I don't know. So far, in Asia, we have broken a lot of records. Never say never.” Additionally, Donnie vaguely hinted that he may be working on a sequel to his 2007 hit, Flash Point as well. "Yes. I will be producing Flash Point 2,” Yen told MAAC. We assume that he’ll be in front of the camera as well – at least we hope so. Updates: Looks like a Ip Man 4 may happen. At this year’s Cannes Film Festival, a promotional poster for Ip Man 4 was unveiled. According to Pegasus Motion Pictures’ booth (via NA/DiP), Ip Man 4 is at early conceptual stages and "not to the extent of the script and given actor," which means that Donnie Yen is not officially tied to the 4th Ip Man film – at least not yet. The article also suggests that Wilson Yip and Raymond Wong – director and producer of the series, respectively – are soon to be in talks for Ip Man 4. In case you missed it, be sure to read about Max Zhang’s unofficial Ip Man 3 spin-off, which is currently in-development. |
| Jackie Chan to visit the sci-fi genre in ‘Bleeding Steel’ Posted: 23 May 2016 04:19 AM PDT  "Police Story 4: First Strike" Japanese Theatrical Poster Remember when we told you to ignore those early reports of Jackie Chan retiring? Well, here ya go… In addition to Jackie’s recently announced team up flick (VIY 2) with Jason Statham, the martial arts superstar has another project in the works, a sci-fi film, titled Bleeding Steel. Mike Leeder and Impact reports: “Chan is returning to his former adopted homeland of Australia (which served as the backdrop for Mr.Nice Guy and First Strike) for the sci-fi movie Bleeding Steel, which will shoot in China and Australia over the next six months or so. The action sequences for the film are being coordinated by Jackie protege Max Huang (Kingsman: The Secret Service, Dragon Blade).” Stay tuned for more information regarding Bleeding Steel. |
| Jackie Chan and Jason Statham team up for ‘VIY 2′ Posted: 23 May 2016 03:03 AM PDT  "Dragon Blade" Japanese DVD Cover Jackie Chan (Dragon Blade) won’t be joining The Expendables any time soon, but here’s the next best news: he’ll be teaming up with Jason Statham (Blitz) for a long-rumored, period project titled VIY 2, a sequel to 2014′s VIY. Mike Leeder and Impact reports: “We've been aware of this project for some time, but the first official news is just being released for the big budget production VIY 2, which will shoot in Russia and China, and feature fight and stunt sequences choreographed by Jackie and his team. If that's not good enough news for you, the project stars both Jackie and Jason Statham which should be a major draw for action fans.” No director or additional castings details are available, but we’ll keep you in the loop as we hear more! |
| New poster for ‘Headshot’ loses a chunk of Iko Uwais head Posted: 23 May 2016 12:00 AM PDT  "Headshot" Teaser Poster The Mo Brothers, the filmmaking duo separately known as Timo Tjahjanto and Kimo Stamboel, are teaming up with The Raid's Iko Uwais for an action film titled Headshot. Starring alongside Uwais will be fellow Indonesian actresses Chelsea Elizabeth Islan (Refrain) and Julie Estelle ("Hammer Girl" from Raid 2), as well as Sunny Pang (The Collector). According to Deadline, Headshot focuses on an amnesiac (Uwais) who, Bourne Identity-style, washes ashore with a serious and mysterious head injury. Shortly after being nursed back to health by a young doctor (Islan), his past comes back to haunt him. If you're familiar with The Mo Brothers' work – such as the thrillers Macabre and Killers – expect a serious amount of bloodletting and hardcore violence. Of course, topping it off with Uwais' fluid martial arts skill, one can only imagine the film's insane outcome. After all, it is called Headshot. Other Uwais films in the works include Gareth Evans' Blister, Peter Berg's Mile 22 and the upcoming sci-fi film, Beyond Skyline, a sequel to 2010's Skyline. Headshot is currently in production – look for it in 2016! Until then, here’s a collection of character posters, as well as the first official still. Updates: Here’s a glimpse of the film’s newest poster! (via Paul Bramhall). |
