Fuelled by his success on the battlefield, young and arrogant Hao Jie sneers at Shaolin's masters when he beats one of them in a duel. But the pride comes before a fall. When his own family is wiped out by a rival warlord, Hao is forced to take refuge with the monks. As the civil unrest spreads and the people suffer, Hao and the Shaolin masters are forced to take a fiery stand against the evil warlords. They launch a daring plan or rescue and escape.

A guy over at wu-jing.org says it was completed in September but wont be released until next summer. Seems like a long time to wait. Was City Under Siege going to be an effects heavy film? |

Shaolin temple kicks off chopsocky pic Chan, Lau, Tse costar in 'Temple' By CLIFFORD COONAN ZHENZHOU, China -- Chinese auds can gear up for a flurry of swirling robes and fists of fury as Jackie Chan, Andy Lau and Nicholas Tse assume a kung fu stance alongside mainland Chinese star Fan Bingbing in the $29 million chopsocky blockbuster "Shaolin Temple." Pic will be helmed by Hong Kong's Benny Chan, who made "New Police Story" and "Rob-B-Hood," and it will also feature martial arts star Wu Jing, Yu Shaoqun ("Forever Enthralled") and thousands of Shaolin disciples from the temple. Kung fu is undergoing an enormous renaissance in China these days, and a lot of this revived interest has focused on the legendary and ancient Shaolin monastery in Henan province, immortalized in the 1970s skein "Kung Fu." "Shaolin Temple" will be a co-production of Emperor Motion Pictures, China Film Group, Huayi Bros. Media Corp., Beijing Silver Moon Prods. and China Songshan Shaolin Temple Culture Communication Center. The remake of the 1980s kung fu pic of the same name was launched at a ceremony at Shaolin in Songshan attended by Emperor Group chairman Albert Yeung, China Film Group chairman Han Sanping and Shaolin Temple abbot Shi Yongxin, among others. Action director is Cory Yuen, who did "Red Cliff" and "The Transporter." The temple, built in 495 A.D., is widely regarded as the birthplace of Shaolin kung fu; in recent years, its abbot Shi has proven a canny marketer for his martial-arts shrine. "We felt that it was important not to rush into a film project just for the sake of making another film. It has taken us a long time to find the right partners who had all the right elements for something as monumental as this," Shi said. Shooting for "Shaolin" is expected to start at the end of this year with a release slated for late 2010. This is Emperor's second big announcement in as many days -- Hong Kong action hero Chow Yun-fat will feature in Chinese helmer Jiang Wen's $18 million period Western laffer "Let the Bullets Fly," which is in production. http://www.variety.com/ |

Chan teams with monks on $30m action epic Shaolin Jackie Chan, Andy Lau and Nicholas Tse will head the cast of $29.28m (RMB200m) action epic Shaolin, which marks the first time in 27 years that a film has been authorised to shoot in China’s legendary Shaolin temple. Hong Kong’s Emperor Motion Pictures (EMP), China Film Group and two other Beijing-based companies – Huayi Brothers and Silver Moon Productions – are working with the Shaolin Temple Culture Communication Centre on the project. The last feature film to shoot at the temple was Shaolin Temple starring Jet Li in 1982. Benny Chan (Connected, New Police Story) will direct the film which is scheduled to start shooting at the end of 2009 for release in late 2010. Wu Jing, Yu Shaoqun and Fan Bingbing will also feature in the star-studded cast, along with thousands of Shaolin disciples. Unlike the 1982 film which is set in Tang Dynasty, Shaolin is set in the early 20th century when China was at war. Nicholas Tse will play a wealthy young man who finds refuge in the temple after a tragic incident in his family. He meets his kung fu master, played by Jackie Chan, in the temple as well as future enemies. Cory Yuen will serve as action director, with Fletcher Poon Yiu-Ming handling cinematography Chung-man Hai working as production designer. “We felt that it was important not to rush into a film project just for the sake of making another film. It has taken us a long time to find the right partners who had all the right elements for something as monumental as this,” said Abbot Shi Yongxin today at a press conference in the temple in Songshan, Henan province. Albert Lee, CEO of EMP, said: “This is the project that EMP has been determined to pursue right from the start. I’d like to thank the Abbot for his faith in our vision and also to thank our mainland partners who have helped us realise an outstanding dream.” http://www.screendaily.com/ |

Jackie Chan, Andy Lau to star in new Shaolin movie By MIN LEE The king of kung fu cinema is set to star in a new movie about China's famed shrine of martial arts, the Shaolin Temple. Jackie Chan will star in the $29 million production, "Shaolin," the latest screen portrayal of the 1,500-year old temple in central China whose famous fighting monks have featured in films by stars such as Bruce Lee and Jet Li, and in the 1970s TV series "Kung Fu" with David Carradine. Chan's Chinese-language film will co-star veteran Hong Kong actor Andy Lau, actor-singer Nicholas Tse and Chinese actress Fan Bingbing. The production, said to boast 1,000 real fighting monks and a grand scene in which the temple burns down, will start shooting later this year for release in late 2010. It was announced in a joint statement Thursday by four Chinese film studios: the state-run China Film Group Corp., Emperor Motion Pictures, Huayi Brothers Media Corp. and Beijing Silver Moon Productions Ltd. Hong Kong filmmaker Benny Chan, who worked with Chan on "New Police Story" and "Rob-B-Hood," will direct and Cory Yuen will serve as action co-ordinator. Yuen's credits include "Lethal Weapon 4" and "X-Men." "Shaolin" will be an updated version of a 1982 movie, "The Shaolin Temple," in which former Chinese kung fu champion Li made his screen debut, playing a boy adopted and trained by Shaolin monks who seeks to avenge the death of his father. The new project could draw more heat for Shaolin Temple abbot Shi Yongxin, who has been accused of high living and seeking publicity for the famed shrine in the Songshan Mountains of central Henan province. He has also faced criticism for upgrading facilities at the once-austere temple. Shi has agressively promoted the Shaolin brand, and has threatened to sue companies that use the temple's name or image without permission, but the abbot is clearly on board for Chan's project. "It's worth cheering that we are now working with the most outstanding production team," Shi was quoted as saying in the statement Thursday. Chan has most recently been shooting a remake of "The Karate Kid" in China with Will Smith's son, Jaden. The Associated Press |
