As such, and now in the good graces of the team led by legendary action savant, Master Yuen Woo-Ping, a remake of Master Yuen‘s 1982 kung fu comedy classic, Miracle Fighters is now on the way with casting currently pending. The film was his seventh directorial offering following a brewing early film career in the sixties and is one of a trilogy with the first, set in the Qing dynasty where a forbidden marriage ensues an epic hunt for a general who kidnaps and accidentally kills the Emperor’s son, followed by his young adopted infant’s mission many years later to conqueror a sorcerors’ contest with the help of two butting magicians to confront the Emperor and claim his vengeance.
Miracle Fighters marks the latest in a history of collaborations between the two which namely include Daniel Lee’s stylish Jet Li vehicle, Black Mask and Hark‘s sequel thereafter, along with Iron Monkey, Once Upon A Time In China 2 and Zu Warriors. Yuen, whose most recent directorial serving with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: Sword Of Destiny arrives next year, is back in the director’s chair with Hark will producing via his Film Workshop banner. Production is slated for March ahead of a 2017 release.
