‘Ip Man 3′ filmmaker to direct ‘The Storm Riders 3′ Posted: 22 Feb 2016 12:28 PM PST "The Storm Riders" Chinese Theatrical Poster Back in 1998, Andrew Lau’s The Storm Riders took Hong Kong cinema by storm. The wuxia fantasy weaved lush cinematography with impressive special digital effects, which, for the time, were comparable to what Hollywood’s biggest studios were churning out. Even its storyline – based on Ma Wing-shing’s comic series, Fung Wan – was intriguing enough to "check your brain at the door" without guilt. The Storm Riders was king at the box office, edging out headline productions such as Jackie Chan's Who Am I? and Chow Yun-fat's U.S. debut The Replacement Killers. In 2009, a sequel, titled The Storm Warriors, was made by The Pang Brothers (The Eye), but unlike the original, it failed to impress the masses. Now, news comes from AFS that a third Storm Riders movie is in the works with Ip Man 3′s Wilson Yip at the helm. So far, the only actor attached to the film is Louis Koo (SPL II: A Time for Consequences). There’s no word if Ekin Cheng (Full Strike) and Aaron Kwok (The Monk Comes Down the Mountain), the stars of the first two films, are returning, but we’ll keep you in the loop as we hear more.
