Donnie YEN 甄子丹 will hope to kick off a new martial arts action franchise in January, when production begins on Enter The Master.

The action is set in a US 'Chinatown' location and sees Yen as a former martial arts ace who must decide whether or not to come out of hiding when a new immigrant he has befriended puts him in the middle of a war between two triad factions. The newcomer is played by Nicholas TSE 謝霆鋒.

The film will be shot by busy Hong Kong director CHAN Hing-kai 陳慶嘉 (Simply Actors 戲王之王 (2007), Poker King 撲克王 (2009), All's Well, End's Well 2012 八星抱喜) while Yen is to be credited as action director. Production and sales are handled by Emperor Motion Pictures Ltd 英皇電影有限公司.

Yen and Tse have previously been paired on Dragon Tiger Gate 龍虎門 (2006) and Bodyguards and Assassins 十月圍城 (2009). Tse has recently won acting awards for The Stool Pigeon 線人 (2010), while Yen has seen his career soar on the back of Wilson YIP 葉偉信's Ip Man 葉問 (2008) films.

"Donnie and Nicholas have worked well together before, but Enter The Master will take the collaboration a step further by pitting the two directly against each other, both emotionally and physically," said Albert LEE 利雅博, Emperor's CEO.

For the American Film Market this week, Emperor has already unveiled Ip Man: The Final Fight 葉問－終極一戰 and Dante Lam's cop thriller Dante LAM 林超賢.

Virtually anything Donnie does is good stuff in terms of fighting.
He can sell pretty much any style.

Good news for those of you counting down the days until a new Donnie Yen project was announced. Yen will be reuniting with Dragon Tiger Gate and Assassins & Bodyguards co-star Nicholas Tse for a new action film called Enter the Master - a title which carries on the action film tradition of entering things like Dragons, Fists, Fat Dragons, Phoenixes, and the 36th Chamber of Shaolin. Always entering.

The action is set in a US 'Chinatown' location and sees Yen as a former martial arts ace who must decide whether or not to come out of hiding when a new immigrant he has befriended puts him in the middle of a war between two triad factions. The newcomer is played by Nicholas TSE 謝霆鋒.


"Donnie and Nicholas have worked well together before, but Enter The Master will take the collaboration a step further by pitting the two directly against each other, both emotionally and physically," said Albert LEE 利雅博, Emperor's CEO.

Hong Kong’s Emperor Motion Pictures (EMP) is currently scouting overseas locations for $22m martial arts blockbuster Enter The Master, which is scheduled to start shooting in January 2013.

Written and directed by Chan Hing-kai, the film will star Donnie Yen as a former martial arts expert who is living a quiet life as a language teacher in Chinatown. His quiet life shatters when he saves a young immigrant from a violent attack and gets caught between two rival triad factions. Nicholas Tse will play the young immigrant.

EMP is considering locations in the US, Canada and Australia for the film, which will also partly shoot in Hong Kong.

Yen will also head up the second unit as action director on the film. Director Chan Hing-kai has a string of credits as writer and director including the popular All’s Well, Ends Well comedies and La Comedie Humaine.

“Donnie and Nicholas have worked well together before but Enter The Master will take the collaboration a step further by pitting the two directly against each other, both emotionally and physically. We’re confident that their chemistry will be even more riveting in Enter The Master,” said EMP CEO Albert Lee.

Enter The Master is tentatively scheduled for Asian release in autumn 2013.
