Member Secret Executioner Posted March 24, 2015 Member Share Posted March 24, 2015 Don't recall anything on an Avenging Eagle remake, but I remember hearing/reading of: - Quentin Tarantino possibly remaking Come Drink With Me (was in talk before Django Unchained came out, guess it's been scrapped). - a remake of Shaolin Temple - the one with Jet Li - that was to be co-written by some big Hollywood writer (don't remember the name of the guy, if one in particular was ever mentionned).

Yeah, I too feel they can only end up in disappointment, but I'd still hope they were at least enjoyable. Thanks for the info GHW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted March 25, 2015 Moderator Share Posted March 25, 2015 'Secret Service of the Imperial Court' was re-made in 2010 as '14 Blades', starring Donnie Yen - http://www.kungfucinema.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11747 'The Flying Guillotine' was re-made in 2012 as 'The Guillotines', directed by Andrew Lau - http://www.kungfucinema.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18088 'Wu Xia', the 2011 movie from Peter Chan and also starring Donnie Yen, was originally pitched as a re-make of 'The One Armed Swordsman', although the final movie was quite different - http://www.kungfucinema.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11365 - a remake of Shaolin Temple - the one with Jet Li - that was to be co-written by some big Hollywood writer (don't remember the name of the guy, if one in particular was ever mentionned). This isn't actually a Shaw Brothers movie, but it was Justin Lin who was attached to directing it, the thread is here - http://www.kungfucinema.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21148 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AlbertV Posted March 25, 2015 Member Share Posted March 25, 2015 Did they ever remake 5 Deadly Venoms? No they never got to doing a remake of that and last I heard about Shaolin Temple (the one with Jet Li), Justin Lin was going to make his Chinese film directorial debut, but it looks as either 1) it's in developmental hell and 2) Lin's got quite a plate full as he has been tapped to direct STAR TREK 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member teako170 Posted March 25, 2015 Member Share Posted March 25, 2015 Did they ever remake 5 Deadly Venoms? It would certainly be interesting to see this if it ever does. I doubt it will be superior to the original, as there is way too much nostalgia tied into that film, but could be decent if it had the proper casting and direction.

Member Cold Bishop Posted March 25, 2015 Member Share Posted March 25, 2015 Kirk Wong planned a Five Venoms remake while in Hollywood during the '00s. I believe Sony or Paramount were planning it as a potential rival to the X-Men films, so that gives you the idea of where they were taking it. Interestingly enough, the project Wong had kicking around the Mainland the last few years is an effects-heavy mutant actioner, which sounds like the same film but with the Chang Cheh connection explicitly dropped.
