Action, Asia, Martial Arts
As mentioned by X yesterday, next on the docket for the incredibly busy Donnie Yen is a starring role in Andrew Lau's The Legend Of Chen Zhen. But beyond the title, we knew very little about what Lau had planned other than that it would - apparently - be a continuation of the Chen Zhen story. Chen Zhen, for those unfamiliar, is the role played by Bruce Lee in Fist of Fury and Jet Li in Fist of Legend, a legendary Chinese martial artist who struggled against the Japanese occupation of China during the war.

According to WuJing.org this new story picks up seven years later with Chen returning to once again struggle against Chinese collusion with the Japanese, with the collaboration this time occurring in the criminal underworld. Also playing key roles will be Shu Qi and Anthony Wong while Gordon Chan serves as producer. Martial arts choreography? That's being handled by Yen himself and given how much Donnie idolizes Bruce Lee I think it's probably time to dust off the original film to see where he's going with this ...
