It sounds pretty generic for a martial arts film title. But for a film about a kidnapped young boy who personifies his rescuer as an asian Clark Kent, what better title could there have been for the world’s next rising martial arts action hero Tiger Chen Hu in his next action vehicle to date, Kung Fu Man?
Today is another epic day in the history of martial arts action cinema as the new teaser for the upcoming film, Man Of Tai Chi is finally online. The film is actor Keanu Reeves‘s directorial debut and it is coming out swinging in total tournament movie fashion!
Today there are new reports out featuring the first promotional photos for the upcoming directorial debut of Keanu Reeves‘s latest martial arts action film, Man Of Tai Chi, courtesy of Chinese online periodical, QQ.
The film, based on a screenplay by Michael G. Cooney, is a co-production from China Film Group, Wanda Group and Village Roadshow Pictures will also feature Reeves opposite lead actor Tiger Hu Chen in his first starring role.
