Pegasus And Yen's Super Hero Films Board IP MAN 3D, WESLEY And THE SEVEN WEAPONS
Donnie Yen in “Kung Fu Jungle” (2014)
Here’s at least one fact that I think a handful of us can agree on: Most of 2014 has been fairly critical of action star Donnie Yen leading up to the much more favored recent release of his newest endeavor, Kung Fu Jungle. Keep that in mind as we enter a new year that will see several of Yen’s upcoming projects unfold following the launch of his Super Hero Films banner a little less than a few years ago, including the long-awaited production of Ip Man 3D with legendary action masters Sammo Hung and Yuen Woo-Ping designing the fights, among other titles.
That said, word has it from Jaynestars with news of producer Raymond Chow’s announcement of at least two more films to be produced in collaboration between his own company, Pegasus Entertainment, and Yen’s banner. One such title will be an adaptation of famed author Ni Kuang’s serial sci-fi action adventure property, Wesley (idiomaically pronounced as Wisely), based on a fictional character whose otherworldly exploits often delve into the paranormal and supernatural have been subject to various mediums, including films of yesteryear with actors Chow Yun Fat and Sam Hui. The other will be The Seven Weapons, originally a televised Wuxia drama series which premiered in Asia back in 2010, based on the work of renowned novelist and writer, Gu Long, which focused on seven interconnected stories with individual weapons as the respective themes.
Yen‘s fanbase isn’t going to be bored any time soon in lieu of all this news, especially with his priorities at Super Hero Films in addition to his crossover debut lead in Noodle Man with Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro. Again, 2014 wasn’t exactly a stellar year for Yen, which obviously explains why Iceman 3D – Part 2 has been pushed back, although he did make a lot of noise at the time, and it is high time he got a principle Hollywood role to go with his upcoming appearance in Yuen’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: The Green Legend.
At any rate though, with the positive responses to his latest cinematic kung fu bout with Wang Baoqiang late last year, it appears Yen is on track for another good year adding to his stellar career film. So, relax and enjoy the show.
H/T: City On Fire
DONNIE YEN: "…I'll definitely play Ip Man again."
In a detailed interview with South China Morning Post to promote the week’s newly released action film from director Clarence Fok, Special ID, martial arts action cinema superstar Donnie Yen briefly talks to writer Edmund Lee about reprising his role as the iconic Wing Chun grandmaster, Ip Man, in the long-awaited third film.
It was at the bottom of the interview, long after delving into the intricate details of his personal journey in film, the topic of his latest production company, Superhero Films, and the issue of doing films on subjects he likes, which he says is difficult in the movie business. “I’ll leave that to fate, but I’ll definitely play Ip Man again,” he says. “I won’t be doing it any time soon, though, because there are so many Ip Man [movies] around. You are Ip Man! He is Ip Man! Everyone is Ip Man! Even the audience is getting bored at the moment.”.
The statement comes just over a week after the 50-year old action hero adhered to similar feelings in an exclusive with Yahoo! Singapore, but expressed more willingness to deviate from the character in general to advance his career. “I know that people like “Ip Man” very much.” says Yen at the time. “I can keep on making sequels but the truth is I don’t want to continue be stereotyped into a role. I want to show improvement.”.
Following the success of the first two films in 2008 and 2010, the third was announced last year amd was set for a 3D shoot to the tune of a reported budget of $36 million dollars with producer Raymond Wong, and his son, Edmund Wong, providing the screenplay. Since then, the film recently hit a brick wall with Yen parting ways from the project alongside director Wilson Yip, who reportedly lost interest in the franchise’s third installation due to their own prior bookings, leaving many fans with the hopes of seeing a third film much to be desired, despite the last reports of Yen and the elder Wong being in talks. Of course, the actors new statements brings on some glimmer of hope that fans will get to see the actor’s classic portrayal of the late-great Bruce Lee’s teacher, which may or may not include a theatrical rendition of Lee himself. This, of course, is up to the men behind the curtain.
All in all, in my opinion, between Kowloon Walled City, The Master, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2 and a previously-hyped sequel to Special ID if it comes to that, if Ip Man returns to the big screen once more, then it happens, it happens. If not, then at least Yen will still be making movies and pursuing his craft on his own platform as initially intended. But what do you think?
