The actor's announcement comes at a good time for his fans, especially amid recent rumors and his claims that the kung fu action star retires.
Despite the fact that he had few films in 2015, Donnie Yen Currently busy promoting his latest film"Ip Man 3", also considered "his last hand-to-hand action movie."
However, Ian pleased the readers of the newspaper South China Morning Post new, clarifying interview published Monday.
I still have enough fire left in me to create modern action films. They will be different from kung fu films because the fights in them are easier and faster to film. But still, all this is still a form of expression of martial art. I really want to continue working in this direction and I still have a lot of creative ideas.
The actor also made statements in which he made it clear that he plans to act in foreign films as much as possible:
I will focus as much as possible on working in foreign films in the future.
All of this talk seems designed to get fans excited about various speculations and rumors. Nevertheless, Jackie Chan continues to make bold action films after several similar conversations over the past few years, as does the actress Zha Ziyi.
The same thing happened with Ian, who, answering questions in an interview with one of the newspapers, said:
This is definitely my last job, but you know... We can't look into the future, right?
and later added:
I seriously think that this film is the last work in the hand-to-hand action genre. It's really hard. As an actor by profession, I want to move on, so I don't say never, but I confirm that this work is the last in the heroic kung fu movie.
Ian's star lit up in the 80s in the film Yuen Woo-Ping "Drunk Tai Chi"And since then, Donny has been working to this day, appearing in Hollywood (Highlander: Endgame, Blade 2), and also working as a director and fight choreographer (German TV series "Puma", Thunderbolt, Princess Sword), having saved up for everything this time there are a large number of fans.
Currently, the actor mainly works in Hong Kong, starring in the crime action film "SPL"y Wilson Yip, simultaneously playing roles in other genres. At the same time, Yen decided to stick with his main genre, a film about the life and adventures of the famous Chinese Grandmaster of martial arts. However, he said:
Will there be another Ip Man movie? Maybe. I'll take back what I said about retirement if I can do it in English.
Does this mean he will make an Ip Man movie in English? Highly doubtful. However, the actor has announced too many things since 2013: Dragon City, Enter The Master, Wesley, The Seven Fortunes, Priority Run and Noodle Man from Damien Chen.
Despite everything, more Donnie Yen awaits us in 2016: "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: Sword of Destiny" And "Star Wars: Rogue One". A "Ip Man 3" is already in theaters in Hong Kong and Asia from this Thursday (24.12.15/XNUMX/XNUMX).
Fuck it, you can forgive him - in my opinion, he is the only remaining “fighting” actor who can still show an excellent level of fighting! Donny - credit to you!
They pulled me up. I’m not leaving. Like Kobzon and Pugacheva. They leave every year.
