This up and coming movie is directed by Tsui Hark and starring none other than Andy Lau and Li Bingbing and is choreographed by action legend Sammo Hung.
The film as a budget of $13 million and was shot in Zhejiang, China at Hengdian World Studios, which is one of the largest film studios in the world. Tsui Hark choose Hung as a choreographer, feeling that his work had shades of Bruce Lee. Of the fight sequences for the film, Tsui commented that they would be similar to that of Ip Man, as they would aim for realism with actual punches and kicks. This would prove difficult for actors who had no martial arts experience. Of the two actors, Li Bingbing had no experience in martial arts, and her role required that she use various weapons in the film such as a whip and a sword.
Lets hope the movie does well at the box office, with this cast and sammo doing the fights im sure it’ll do fine.
