As with the original, the remake, titled Sword Master, will be an adaptation of Ku Lung’s Third Master’s Sword (literal title). The film, which will be shot in 3D, is being produced by Tsui Hark (Taking of Tiger Mountain).

The remake stars Kenny Lin Geng-Xin (Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon Sea Dragon), Peter Ho Yun-Tung (The Monkey King), Jiang Yi-Yan (The Bullet Vanishes) and Jiang Meng-Jie (Kung Fu Man).

The 1977 film is about a renowned swordsman (Yee) whose position in the martial world is lofty. The constant challenges and myriad enemies he faces compels him to fake his death and pursue a quiet life with a beautiful  woman (Candice Yu).
