Derek Yee (Shinjuku Incident) is currently prepping his long-awaited remake of Chor Yuen's Death Duel, a 1977 Shaw Brothers film that Yee starred in during the height of his acting career.

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).

Death Duel has completed production and is scheduled for a 2016 release.

First-time directors Longman Leung and Sunny Luk scored a major hit a few years ago with their Hong Kong cop thriller Cold War. The relatively inexperienced duo managed to attract a big name cast, including Tony Leung Ka-Fai and Aaron Kwok, to the film based on the strength of their screenplay. Well, every good crime saga deserves a sequel, which is why Cold War II is right around the corner!

This time around, Chow Yun-fat (Office), who reportedly called Cold War one of the best Hong Kong films since Infernal Affairs, joins the gang.

Cold War II also stars Aaron Kwok (Monk Comes Down the Mountain), Tony Leung Ka Fai (The Raid), Kenny Wong Tak Bun (Fire of Conscience) and Tony Yang Kam Tin (The Crossing).

The film hits Chinese theaters on July 8th. Until then, watch the film’s 1st trailer (via AFS).
