Member DiP Posted May 13, 2013 Member Share Posted May 13, 2013 One of Super Hero Films Co's new projects starring Donnie Yen and directed by Derek Kwok (The Gallants). http://www.filmsmasharchives.com/FilmsmashForum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1027 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted September 25, 2013 Author Member Share Posted September 25, 2013 There's no date of actual shooting but Donnie has confirmed that it will be his next movie, so production should probably start after he's done promoting Special ID. It will be one of many upcoming projects in which Donnie will attempt to revive the autistics of Hong Kong action film-making rather than cater to the growing Mainland film market. http://translate.google.se/translate?hl=sv&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.singpao.com%2Fyl%2Fmx%2F201309%2Ft20130926_462073.html (Rough translation) http://www.singpao.com/yl/mx/201309/t20130926_462073.html (Original) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Sheng Posted December 29, 2013 Member Share Posted December 29, 2013 It will be very interesting to see how they'll rebuild the the festering human termite hill that used to be Kowloon's Walled City... Let's just hope that this will be more interesting than ICAC related films in the past, say POWERFUL FOUR, FIRST SHOT or I CORRUPT ALL COPS.

Member kami Posted December 30, 2013 Member Share Posted December 30, 2013 FIRST SHOT was great, POWERFUL FOUR isn't bad, too. Even I CORRUPT ALL COPS is okay, but I certainly expect something completely different from DRAGON CITY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Arts Posted December 30, 2013 Member Share Posted December 30, 2013 I cant wait to see how they portray the Walled City in this, if this were set any where else i would still have looked forward to it, but as its set in the Walled City its really peaked my intrest.

Member laagi Posted December 25, 2015 Member Share Posted December 25, 2015 Any news on this at all? Canceled, shelved, postponed... I was really looking forward to this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted December 26, 2015 Author Member Share Posted December 26, 2015 It's still in pre-production so I guess it got post-poned due to Yen's commitment to Rogue One. But Yen recently completed his scenes for that movie so we might get either one of these Super Hero Films projects --- the other being The Master directed by Soi Cheang and set in 1970s America --- or Noodle Man after Yen is done with promoting Ip Man 3.

Member laagi Posted December 28, 2015 Member Share Posted December 28, 2015 Thanks for the info. Hope a trailer will surface soon. I've read somewhere the teaser poster is in fact a fan made one not official. And being the info so scarce I thought it might have been canned.
