Yuen Wo Ping teams with Marvel!

Posted by Jason Triplett Friday, June 30, 2006


Famed action choreographer Yuen Wo Ping is teaming up with Marvel Comics to bring the obscure comic "The Hands of Shang Chi" to the big screen. Set to begin shooting this fall, and hit theaters by fall of 2007, this film will mark master Yuen's true return from film directing retirement. The film will be executive produced by Ang Lee, and released by Dreamworks.

So who will play Shang Chi? Well, neither Yuen or Marvel are talking, but word is that both Tony Jaa and Jing "Jackie" Wu are in the running for the role.

Yuen will immediately follow this project up with "Snow and the Seven", a Chinese retelling of the Snow White fairy tale in which 7 buddhist monks find a young girl.
