Either way it starts production end of the month!!!!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member mark187 Posted March 5, 2019 Author Member Share Posted March 5, 2019 https://mobile.twitter.com/DomingoLopez72/status/1101060449494355968 ok, sounds like the project is now going under the title Raging Fire and they’ve reworked the plot to have it set in HK. I guess the Mexcican cartel angle is out? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted March 5, 2019 Member Share Posted March 5, 2019 "This movie will have non-stop stunts and fight scenes like SPL" This alone makes me real interested now. If this is indeed a reworking of the original idea (set in South America), I think it's for the better since a fish-out-of-water scenario wouldn't do much anyway. Donnie and his team better handle the action choreography on this one since it's his preferred style! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That quote should be the movies tagline, it's sold me, and I've not seen anything else related to the movie yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member kami Posted March 7, 2019 Member Share Posted March 7, 2019 SPL is a fantastic movie but not exactly a non-stop stunt and fight action extravaganza. There are three or four action scenes in the whole movie. But Benny Chan's own Invisible Target was an action-packed movie tour de force. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member mark187 Posted March 8, 2019 Author Member Share Posted March 8, 2019 Ok so Mike Leeder clarified a couple things. This is a completely different project from Crossfire and he hopes that one might still get made one day 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member legendarycurry Posted March 8, 2019 Member Share Posted March 8, 2019 Nic Tse and Donnie Yen sounds cool. I think Nic Tse is like the DiCaprio of HK, a guy that always looks young and is a good actor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will await more news about it and create one, if the mods don't mind doing it now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member mark187 Posted March 19, 2019 Author Member Share Posted March 19, 2019 http://cityonfire.com/donnie-yen-finds-himself-in-benny-chans-crossfire/ This article makes it seem as if they are combining scripts but I doubt it. Hopefully they’ll update everything soon about the official plot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted March 19, 2019 Member Share Posted March 19, 2019 So Nic Tse is playing the main villain opposite Donnie? Was honestly expecting someone more fitting. Maybe it's just speculation at this point so I hope it changes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted March 20, 2019 Member Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) It has been confirmed: Raging Fire is an unrelated/different project from Crossfire. The movie will be about a police inspector (Yen) who mentors his protege (Tse) and sees the latter rise through the ranks while realizing that his own career is going downhill. But due to unethical methods, the protege goes to jail and as a result seeks revenge on his mentor. Benny Chan will direct, Donnie will take the lead role as well as produce and action direct (yes!). https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/donnie-yen-joins-benny-chans-cop-thriller-raging-fire-1195572 https://www.asianenews.net/2019/03/19/nicholas-tse-looks-forward-to-shoot-action-scenes-with-donnie-yen/ http://hktopten.blogspot.com/2019/03/20190318-donnie-yen-reveals-that-he.html EDIT: Mods, maybe it's time to create a separate thread for Raging Fire?

Member DiP Posted March 20, 2019 Member Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) This new action/crime movie will be about a police inspector (Yen) who is targeted and attacked by the leader (Tse) of a criminal group during a special operation, a former cop who was mentored by the police inspector but went to jail due to unethical behavior which resulted in the former cop plotting a revenge on his former mentor and those who were responsible for ending his career in the police force. Emperor Motion Pictures will finance the movie, Benny Chan will direct, and Donnie (other than taking the lead role) will produce and action direct (with his team). Aside from Donnie and Nicholas, the movie will also have Kenny Wong, Kathy Yuen, Deep Ng, Benjamin Lam, Tony Wu, and Jeana Ho in significent roles. Shooting starts next week in Hong Kong. Benny and Donnie promises to deliver an unforgettable experience of hard-hitting wall-to-wall action sequences, the likes of which Yen hasn't done for years as the lead actor and action director simultaneously. https://www.jaynestars.com/news/donnie-yen-nicholas-tse-to-film-raging-fire/ https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/donnie-yen-joins-benny-chans-cop-thriller-raging-fire-1195572 http://hktopten.blogspot.com/2019/03/20190318-donnie-yen-reveals-that-he.html https://filmcombatsyndicate.com/raging-fire-donnie-yen-nicholas-tse-cop-actioner-announced-at-filmart/ Edited March 21, 2019 by DiP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AlbertV Posted March 22, 2019 Member Share Posted March 22, 2019 It will be good to see Tse as a villain again (after 2011's Shaolin) and with Yen doing action duties as well, should be quite a fight. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted March 24, 2019 Member Share Posted March 24, 2019 Donnie Yen associate Yu Kang (Dragon Tiger Gate, Wu Xia, Big Brother) and veteran MA actor Ben Lam have been casted in the movie. http://www.maactioncinema.com/archives/8793?fbclid=IwAR0R1MaO7-uNDYVITLixT-oRVRkPNq8Lz3wXjVAQoqSZBXBsOmB8JYD-dGc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AlbertV Posted April 23, 2019 Member Share Posted April 23, 2019 Synopsis, from The Film Catalogue: Shan is a righteous cop who's solved countless cases. One day, his past comes back to haunt him when his sting operation is attacked by a mysterious group of criminals led by Ngo. Ngo was once a talented cop who admired Shan. However, a terrible accident sent him to prison three years ago, transforming him into a furious man dead set on killing everyone who's wronged him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DiP Posted May 7, 2019 Member Share Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) I feel like if you want a really good movie, you need to also assume the role of the producer and be actively involved in all aspects of the filming. I want every detail to be clear and perfect - Donnie Yen https://www.jaynestars.com/news/donnie-yen-nicholas-tse-film-new-movie/ Edited May 7, 2019 by DiP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
