Tomorrow, August 20th, under the direction of the director Roy Chow filming will begin on a new film about Wong Fei-hung "Rise of the Legend" (黃飛鴻之英雄有夢).
Roy Chow on Tsui Hark's films: It's been almost two decades since the last Wong Fei-hung film was made. I set myself the goal of recreating his image from a different angle - he will be a young man who has a dream in life. His dream is the only thing that gives him steadfastness. And he owes his tenacity and endurance to his youth, which shapes him into a legend.
Producer Bill Kong: If we take Chinese cinema, only kung fu films can reach the international level. But true kung fu action is rare these days, which is why I want to pay homage to the genre.
Will star in supporting roles Jing Boran, Max Zhang (Zhang Jin) and Sammo Hung, who will play the main character's mentor. Who got the role Wong Fei-hung will be announced in the coming days.
Will be responsible for the choreography of fights Corey Yuen, operator appointed Andy Ng Man-chin, production designer - Father Wong. The script was written Christine To.
Producing the film Bill Kong, Liu Erdong и Ivy Ho. The company will handle international sales Edko Films Ltd.
"Rise of the Legend" will be released in the second half of 2014.

Max Zhang got a black eye (5 stitches), but pop singer Edik is still intact...

Something like a poster:

According to some sites, Edik will play the main character. A singer, of course. :(

Corey Yen is of course a good choreographer... But I want Sammo Hung to choreograph the fights! They are not so magical but more realistic and powerful!
The Jaynestars have already arrived. http://www.jaynestars.com/movies/eddie-peng-to-star-as-wong-fei-hung-in-new-film-adaptation/ Here they report information from Chinese sources (including the fact that Sammo is an antagonist in the film). Although yes, I agree with you, Filmbiz.asia inspires more confidence. :)
If there are cables in all the fights again, I won’t watch.
Fei-Hungg's dream is to have Bezrukov play him!
“The Dream of the Hero Wong Fei-Hungg” - this is how it can be literary altered, yes. :)
I also read about the cast - Eddie Pan and Angelababy are playing. :)
Irresistible Delta Ltd - Hong Kong, BDI Films Inc - mainland, released, joint venture.
“The hero Wong Fei-Hungg has a dream,” is that right? :)
I can add:
Chinese sources say Hong Kong actor and singer Wong Cho-Lam is also in the cast. And one more thing: Chinese sources contradict the English ones, mentioning that Sammo will play a negative role (please, let it be a negative one, otherwise the teachers are already annoying :D). The full title of the film is 黃飛鴻之英雄有夢.
Will the film be a Hong Kong film, a Mainland film or a co-production?
