Teaser poster for Donnie Yen's next film and according to the poster, Shu Qi will be in the film as well as is Anthony Wong. Andrew Lau is directing with Gordon Chan producing. Yen will also be the film's action director.

Plot:
Fist of Fury: The Legend of Chen Zhen is set 7 years after the reported death of Chen Zhen. He was showered with bullets following his vengeance on the Japanese at a dojo who are behind his mentor's death.

A mysterious, wealthy entrepreneur returns from abroad and makes a grand entrance on the Shanghai social scene by befriending a notorious mafia boss. This man is none other than Chen Zhen in disguise who dwells in a world of nefarious means in order to infiltrate the criminal empire. He soon discovers a clandestine collusion between the mafia and the Japanese.

Under the guise as a caped crusader at night, Chen Zhen sets out to dismantle with his martial arts skill the evil collusion that is plaguing the country. One of his foremost missions is to ferret out the assassination list prepared by the Japanese...

This movie actually sounds kinda weird(mostly just the caped crusader part). But Donnie has played the character enough so Im sure he will do a great job and im looking forward to it.

Agreed....considering the subject matter that's a pretty bizarre plot description.

Sounds more like Iron Monkey 3...

Another film to look forward to. Donnie is popping them out left and right.

Don't worry, there will be more. He said he will rep contemporary action movies so I take his word.

As for this movie, I think this could be the one raising the bar as far as traditional HK choreography goes. Should be interesting to see what Donnie will come up with.
