What do Johnnie To, Tsui Hark, John Woo, Ringo Lam, Anne Hui, Sammo Hung, Yuen Woo-ping and Patrick Tam have in common? I’ll answer that. They’re some of the best filmmakers Hong Kong has to offer and they’re all teaming up for an eight part anthology film about the history of Hong Kong, which will span from the 1940s to present time.

There’s no word on whether this untitled “anthology” will be action, drama or comedy, but with names like Johnnie To, Tsui Hark, John Woo, Ringo Lam, Sammo Hung and Yuen Woo-ping  in the mix – I’d say it’ll be a mix of every genre!

This news comes from Twitch’s Todd Brown (via DiP), who additionally reported about To’s next film – an untitled crime thriller starring Louis Koo and Wallace Cheung. We’ll keep you posted as we hear more!

Today’s Deal on Fire is the Blu-ray Double Feature for 1985′s The Protector & 1993′s Crime Story.

The Protector is noteworthy for James Glickenhaus’ (The Exterminator) attempt to make Jackie Chan a Charles Bronson/Clint Eastwood-type hero. As a result, the film is filled with R-Rated violence, harsh language and gratuitous nudity.

Kirk Wong’s (The Big HitCrime Story is yet another “serious” outting for Jackie, but unlike The Protector, many  consider it one of his finest films.
