Member mark187 Posted March 6, 2014 Member Share Posted March 6, 2014 http://ent.sina.com.cn/m/c/2014-03-05/22334106871.shtml apparently, Mr. Woo wants to team up again with Tsui Hark to make another Hero film, similar in style to A Better Tomorrow. firs Ringo Lam comes out of retirement and now this! let's hope it actually happens. it actually sounds like 2 films may get made, one directed by Woo and produced by Tsui and the other directed by Tsui and produced by Woo! maybe John Woo recently watched The White Storm, as the article mentioned he was feeling nostalgic.

Member DiP Posted March 6, 2014 Member Share Posted March 6, 2014 So Woo and Hark have patched things up? I like that sound of that. And of course, Ringo Lam making a comeback this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But damn, we're talking a good 3 years from now. A lot can happen between then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member 66 Mantis Posted April 26, 2014 Member Share Posted April 26, 2014 In the meantime, those two should locate and release the full 160 min.version of A Better Tomorrow 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the film elements even exist of the deleted footage (also consider that several deleted the scenes not just Woo and Hark)? Too many times that footage gets thrown away, destroyed by the improper storage or just plain lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Cold Bishop Posted April 28, 2014 Member Share Posted April 28, 2014 Hell, I'd wager the negatives for quite a few finished Hong Kong films of this era are essentially in tatters (wasn't this WKW's reason for reduxing Ashes of Time?). It's a nice thought, but I would wager against the footage surviving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member abbotwhite Posted April 29, 2014 Member Share Posted April 29, 2014 HK isn't known for bringing out special editions and extended versions. Especially for older movies. The irony of the "Ashes of Time Redux" was that it was even shorter than the original version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ToryK Posted April 29, 2014 Member Share Posted April 29, 2014 As much I'd love to see it, myself, I don't see it happening either. I wish, though. So, choosing from the current crop, and assuming that these movies will be similar in style and tone to the old heroic bloodshed flicks, who would you guys want to see lead in Woo's and Hark's films?

Member abbotwhite Posted April 29, 2014 Member Share Posted April 29, 2014 I would love to see Woo work with Johnnie To's "The Mission" and "Exiled" crew but I doubt Anthony Wong will be working with John Woo again. Quite frankly, HK is quite limited in the decent leading men department, it ends up being the same old, same old. Though I wouldn't be too keen on him working with Daniel Wu and Louis Koo. Then all that's left is the Johnnie To gang. I don't recall him working with Andy Lau, so there might be something interesting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind seeing him do something with Francis Ng, or Nick Cheung, Lau Ching-Wan or even Lam Suet. Anthony Wong would be awesome, but I'd imagine you hit the nail on the head there.

Member Cold Bishop Posted April 30, 2014 Member Share Posted April 30, 2014 I would love to see Louis Koo or Lau Ching-Wan in a John Woo film. What about Chang Chen? I just hope that whatever he does, he considers tapping Philip Kwok again to choreograph, especially as the latter has been having something a resurgence recently. Also, what a better film than these to mount that long awaited Dean Shek comeback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the sequel to John Woo's film Laughing Times (also with Dean Shek seen below): I like the Louis Koo idea or Lau Ching-wan though too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
