Is the irony of Xing Yu playing a shaolin monk making anyone else smile?


Also, Nicholas Tse recently became a Ng family Martial Arts certified Ving Tsun instructor

CRI, November 10, 2010



Photo stills from Benny Chan's upcoming film Shaolin have been released to shed some light on lead actors Andy Lau and Nicholas Tse.

The 1920s-era film centers on warlord Hou Jie, played by Andy Lau, who takes shelter in the Shaolin Temple and gains a new understanding of life. Nicholas Tse plays the antagonist Cao Man.

The film also stars Fan Bingbing, Wu Jing and Yu Shaoqun. Jackie Chan makes a cameo appearance.

The domestic release is set for December.

Interesting how the Hollywood films play into this - I'm wondering what else Chollywood has planned for the holiday.

Shaolin kicked into 2011

Distribution News


Benny Chan's (陳木勝) martial arts film Shaolin (新少林寺) has had its China release date pushed back to 19 Jan 2011 from its previously announced December slot.

The move was expected — with regional distributors tipped off last month — as it would otherwise have competed head-to-head with co-producer Huayi Brothers' (華誼兄弟) romantic drama If You are the One 2 (非誠勿擾2).

The film's A-list cast includes Andy Lau (劉德華), Nicholas Tse (謝霆鋒), Fan Bingbing (范冰冰), Wu Jing (吳京) and Jackie Chan (成龍). It is the first film in 28 years officially endorsed by the Shaolin monastery.

Shaolin will still face tough competition in January, a month that is expected to see the China release of high-profile foreign blockbusters including Tron: Legacy and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

Note that Xingyu has changed his name to Yanneng for this film. He has re-discipled, although not under Abbot Yongxin.

Shaolin releases new poster

"Shaolin" releases new poster. [Photo: Mtime.com]


Benny Chan's action movie "Shaolin" has released a new poster featuring the four leading actors in the film—Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Nicholas Tse and Fan Bingbing.

The background of the poster shows the burning Shaolin temple. To make the temple look older than it actually was, the director asked Chung-Man Hai, the film's artistic director, to build a second Shaolin Temple. Chung-Man Hai spent two months and 20 million yuan (US$3 million) building the temple, which is larger than the original Songshan Shaolin Temple.

The story is set in the 1920s when an arrogant warlord named Hou Jie (Andy Lau) is trapped by his follower Cao Man (Nicholas Tse). Hou loses his family and hides in the Shaolin Temple where he becomes a monk. As social unrest spreads and people continue to suffer, Hou and the Shaolin monks are forced to take a fiery stand against the evil warlords.

"Shaolin" opens in cinemas nationwide on January 19.

Here's another poster:
