Guest The Silent Flute Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 It's probaby too soon to say hey. ''The New 5 Venoms'' movies is going to have a nice looking cast but ''hey'' the New Five Venoms Remake has a nice looking cast. Promising at least in appearance. Celestial pictures announced that in their remake of the Cult Film Classic of the Original ''Five Deadly Venoms'' (Circa 1978) That Jay Chow, Edison Chen, Maggie Q, Hiang' Xiao Ming and Wu Jing are slated to play the five venoms While Gordon Liu plays The Master. It's supposedly going to take place in the walls of a contemporary ''ficticious city''. I included some pictures of the 5 That are scheduled to play The Five venoms. There is a girl there. It is possible that they are going to make the role of the Snake back to a Woman which was the way it was originally written in the 1st Five Deadly Venoms Script. As we know it that role was filled by ''Wei Pai''. I cant find myself Objecting to to Maggie Q. Also there is to be an introduction of a new character in the film ''The Spider Lady'' Edison Chen Hiang Xiao Ming Jay Chow Maggie Q Wu Jing O' i think you know who...

Guest oldeschool17 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 it would be great if the original cast members made cameo's(with exception of Chiang Sheng for obvious reasons). I dunno what to think about this though. talk about big shoes to fill. Id love to see a trailer for this. If Gordon Liu plays in this, wont it be a non-fighting role for him?

Guest kungfusamurai Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 They could change The Master character to give him a few fight scenes, perhaps showing him training the 'Chiang Sheng' character, even though Dick Wei didn't do any fighting in the original.

Guest The Silent Flute Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 It's good to remake this film because what will happen is that more people will be exposed to the films of shaw brothers because of this movie. Also a lot of people will remember the first film. This is Wu Jing and Lau Kar Leung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest THE BASTARD Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Well what do you guys expect for Lo Mang, Kuo Chi, and Wei Pai to appear in the film as the 5 Venoms again... One of them is missing and another one is long since dead. 5 Venoms was a time and this is a new one. With all repsect guys if you dont want to see ''5 Pretty Venoms'' dont. I on the other hand will be the first to buy the 3 DVD set, with Lenticular laser etched cover, Stickers, a T-shirt offer for a free 2 liter of pepsi. It's a different time. This movie is powered by youth it's all good and we are lucky it's happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest peringaten Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I like ugly opera-trained people and the like with real skills kicking ass and dark plottings. I wonder what this film will present that I'll like? I'll give it the benefit of the doubt until I see it, but can't persuade myself to think of it as anything other than curiosity until. My slaverish expectations are more rocking for remasters than retakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Apart from the thought of seeing the foxy Maggie Q in a Venoms movie... I have no interest on this whatsoever....... and Edison Chen (God of Actors) is not my idea of a leading Kung Fu hero, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im a believer in somethings are best left untouched. Do any of these actors have a background in martial arts or are they fresh off the singing/modeling circuit?

Guest THE BASTARD Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Please tell me you are kidding. How exactly are we lucky that this is happening? Your alive your lucky anything is happening. To answer you more specifically i think the movie will expose thousands upon thousands of people to Shaw Brothers legacy. I am all for it because i want other people to feel the magic like i did when i first stumbled upon such memorable times. For me i introduce anyone i can to the films i have because i know plain and simple that it's a world FILLED with intrigue. Good Luck NEW Guys!

Guest oldeschool17 Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Your optimism surely exceeds my expectations in this film. You should work for celestial in thier advertising dept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lei Kung Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I doubt that any fresh sap that sees this version with its fancy, high budget sets and special effects will turn around and enjoy (or even sit through) the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ironfistedmonk2003 Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Yep I agree, it seems its about style over substance these days and even the style is poorly done. The only sector of the Hong Kong movie scene doing well is the hair department, if you have good hair you get to be a movie star! I'll take some ugly @#%$ with great kung fu skills over any of these magnificently coiffured "pop stars" any day of the week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXACTLY. And if it sucks, it may actually keep people away from the classics. I do hope it will be great, but I cant see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
