Donnie Yen to Star in 'Mr and Mrs. Smith' Remake

Hong Kong media reports: Donnie Yen и Cecilia Chun will star in the Hong Kong adaptation of the 2005 Hollywood action film "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" (Mr. and Mrs. Smith). The new film has been named "Assassin Couple" (~ Killer Couple).

Company New Asia Entertainment Group (AEG) announced Thursday that the plot of this adaptation will be radically different from the original, although there may be some similarities.

In film Ian и Chun will play a married couple proficient in martial arts and firearms. Being professional assassins, they are trying to understand their relationship, in which love borders on hate.

Despite the fact that both Ianand Chun previously stated that they would like to take a break from filming and spend time with their families, the impressive sums offered "AEG", apparently, made them change their minds.

Company "AEG" reports that Jena will go to 30 million yuan (5,6 million dollars), and Chun will receive 15 million yuan ($2,8 million).

Their total fee will be almost half of the film's budget (100 million yuan or 18,7 million dollars).

Shooting "Assassin Couple" should begin in March 2012.

      Don't be afraid, Xenic, we won't lose you. ;) What is DoD? Is it really an abbreviation for the Ministry of Defense? )))

    Indeed, we are always looking forward to any picture with Donnie! Because at the moment (in my personal opinion) he is one of the experts in the combat genre, who still not only keeps the bar, but also surprises in some way.

    What about Wilson Yip's Wisely? Personally, I would rather see it removed.

      He's filming some kind of family melodrama/comedy.
