Principal photography began today, March 25, in Shanghai. "Ip Man 3", whose budget will be 36 million dollars, and it will be filmed in 3D format. The entire quartet of regular participants in the now trilogy were present at the press conference in Shanghai: Donnie Yen, Wilson Yip, Endond Won и Redmond Vaughn.
The creators and the main actor of the film slightly disappointed fans of the series of films about the great master of Wing Chun by the fact that he was suitable for the role Bruce Lee They were never able to find the actor. Therefore, it was decided that Lee’s image would be recreated using computer graphics. His younger brother will act as a consultant for the film on questions about his childhood and youth. Robert Lee.
But that's not all. It was announced that in the third part he would star in a very significant role. Mike Tyson. According to the plot, he will be a realtor who also happens to be a street fighter. It is confirmed that he and Donnie's character, Ip Man, will clash in an epic showdown.
Producer Redmond Vaughn told the publication The Hollywod Reporter, that when Tyson went to the popular Chinese social network Weibo two years ago and asked subscribers: “Who is the best fighter in China?”, someone answered him: “Donnie Yen.” And thanks to this incident, Redmond got the idea to combine the legendary boxer and one of the best movie fighters in Asia.
In his statement, Tyson said the following:
Who is the best boxer and kung fu master in China? Wait for me, I'm coming! Thank you for introducing me to Chinese martial arts.
The film is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2016. The film's fight choreographer will be Yuen Wupingwho will replace in this post Sammo Hunga. Lynn Hong, who played Ip Man's wife in the first two parts, will return in the third film, and will also star in the film Karena Ng и Louis Chen.
And a bonus for those interested: Donnie recently shared with reporters that he was ready to lose weight for the role by as much as 14 kg.
And a few amateur photos from the press conference on the occasion of the start of filming:
And by this link you can watch the official short promo video with Tyson. Unfortunately, I cannot insert it, nor can I download it.
The news will be very ambiguous for many, I think. I invite you to speak out on this matter.

Technology is technology, but when on the screen among other live actors there are graphics, and not just some extra character, but... you know who. Well, it's somehow strange and surrogate.
Ravenside,
Do you know who it is - Bezrukov? XD
DoDFavorit,
Thank you for being alive)
The computer Lee idea is ridiculous. Remember all the attempts in Western cinema - it always turns out poor and unnatural, but there the budgets and specialists are head and shoulders above the computer. graphics.
But with Tyson it’s ambiguous. I hope that Tyson will perform well and fit into the choreography and will not look stupid on the screen.
Technologies are developing more and more every day. Show this picture to someone who doesn't know, and say that this person is completely drawn:

Of course, due to the fact that everyone will know that the actor is not real, attention to the details will be very close, this is the director’s mistake, it is premature to talk about it. Now you just have to grab the stars from the sky.
barsug,
Okay, stop. Is Hoffman really cartoonish here? As I understand it, after his death, scenes in the Hungger Games with him were filmed using a computer? We need to see...
DoDFavorit,
Googled it. It turns out that this idea was abandoned... after the actor’s death, his scenes were assigned to others.
Remember when the Google-translated subtitles for the first part came out? IP Man? :))) As Evil once joked: Internet protocol man. He was our prophet. Listen to the voiceover read the title of the film. :)))))
I think it will look, at a minimum, ridiculous and unnatural.
Maybe it’s for the best that no one will play Bruce Lee. The main thing is that it turns out well. Many people have already done this and at the amateur level it turned out quite well. I think the professionals will be able to show their class. By the way, here's the topic:

barsug,
I think so too. Although Aarif Lee would have played Bruce perfectly, especially since he has played him before. It was very convincing, in my opinion. If they took him, I would be very happy! Otherwise they would have taken one of the warblers that bred in China, and everything would have gone to hell, no matter how much they trained him.
I remember this advertisement well. Lee turned out to be very realistic. I remember someone here was outraged that the image of a master who supported a healthy lifestyle was used in alcohol advertising.
