Martial arts action super star Donnie Yen has taken to the web to unveil his new poster for the upcoming duo film franchise, The Iceman Cometh 3D, which is making its premiere in Cannes this month. The film is an epic revival of the Hong Kong action classic that starred Yuen Biao, Yuen Wah and Maggie Cheung, and directed by Clarence Fok. Remade in 3D as a two-part project, it is directed by Law Wing Cheong, and will star Yen opposite Wang Baoqiang, along with Simon Yam and Eva Huang.
The film is one of many in Yen’s busy schedule as he also expected to push and develop having just entered into heading his own production company, Superhero Films. No release date has been set as of yet.
In the meantime, Yen’s next film, Special Identity, directed by Clarence Fok, is still stuck in “litigation limbo”, although it is now backed with distribution courtesy of Easternlight Films. The film will star Tian Jing, Collin Chou and Andy On, and will feature stuntwork and action choreography by Yen, in addition to Kenji Tanigaki and John Salvitti, and veteran stunt performer and coordinator Bruce Law, who is currently in Indonesia on the set of the epic production The Raid 2 (a.k.a. Berandal) with director Gareth Evans, and Impact Online’s Mike Leeder.
