Member Drunken Monk Posted November 2, 2012 Member Share Posted November 2, 2012 More at Twitch... http://twitchfilm.com/2012/11/yuen-wo-ping-to-direct-action-trilogy-vigilantes.html News out of AFM reveals that legendary martial arts choreographer and filmmaker Yuen Wo Ping is teaming up with Dragon Star Pictures to direct the first of a planned trilogy of action thrillers, entitled Vigilantes - The Lost Order. The Canadian-Chinese co-production, from Dragon Star and Yuen's own Film Can Production, is scheduled to begin production next year, and is being touted as The Matrix meets Wall Street. Vigilantes - The Lost Order is a contemporary-set English language martial arts extravangza that follows Tess, a kick-ass heroine on a mission of vengeance. Orphaned as a young girl by a murderous secret hit squad, Tess grows up to become an assassin who goes searching for those responsible, only to uncover a global financial conspiracy. Birch Tree Entertainment is handling worldwide sales of the project and is representing the film at AFM. Vigilantes promises stunning action sequences and will showcase Yuen's unparalleled ability to create award-winning fight scenes together with a polished storyline. The prospect of Yuen at the helm of a major English language action franchise is certainly an intriguing one, but the success or failure of this project is likely to come down to a combination of a strong, well-developed script and some astute casting in the crucial lead role.

I'm reminded of a 1991 film called Money, which is most notable for co-starring Christopher Plummer seeing as how he went on to act in a film called All the Money in the World. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
