The Gist: This will be a kung-fu movie about the life of Bruce Lee. The film will be set in the 1950’s and will focus on the relationship between Bruce Lee and his master Ip Man (Tony Leung). …(more)
Cast: Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Ziyi Zhang and Chen Chang
List Worthy Reasons…: To give you an idea of how long we’ve been waiting, we’ve had this on our Most Anticipated lists for 2010 and 2011. The trailer was enough to maintain its position among the Most Anticipated elite and we’re confident this won’t go the 2046 (five years in editing) route.
Release Date/Status?: Now that all plans for a 2011 release are a thing of the past, the logicial next bet is Cannes 2012. Prod company Annapurna Pictures picked up distribution rights for the U.S. – if they do release the pic it will be their first ever theatrical release and they’ll want to hit theaters at the same time this is shown in mainland China.
