Member DiP Posted September 9, 2020 Member Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) Yen's apparently onboard as the lead actor for another Hollywood project. It's an action thriller set in South Boston surrounding a Hong Kong immigrant and his family being involved with drugs and hunted down by a local crime gang and corrupted cops. https://deadline.com/2020/09/donnie-yen-alec-baldwin-frank-grillo-to-star-in-action-thriller-the-father-agc-caa-launch-sales-1234573474/?fbclid=IwAR0mv_z-qotdaRzMYhBJQmf_rUvTj6yO-c5BwhUVhAHokw1zMx2uDml67DE https://filmcombatsyndicate.com/the-father-donnie-yen-alec-baldwin-frank-grillo-star-in-new-action-thriller-shooting-early-2021/ https://maactioncinema.com/archives/14627?fbclid=IwAR2L8hJWpPiFQwP_u6uP_ulvckqCVIDTtrKPWwLQtnOf1WGWI2fbphG04-A Edited October 3, 2020 by DiP 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there can be skepticism concerning some directors. Especially certain genre directors who ventures into different types of movies. Then again, you also have the producers of movies like The Town, the John Wick movies, Hotel Mumbai, and The Foreigner. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DarthKato Posted April 30, 2021 Member Share Posted April 30, 2021 Might be good. Donnie Yen's films are normally pretty entertaining. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember there being a time when Jet Li was all the rage, and it looked like Donnie could barely get any work. With all the momentum that he's experienced since Ip Man, I was hoping that Donnie would get back in the director's chair again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
