Yes as long as i know it is like Hero and warlords, resurrection of the dragon with samo hung.

I want to see a powerhouse fights scenes that are brutal.

No comedy jackie please. I have been your fan for to long since forever.

They should bring toni sui tong and yuen woo ping or zhang yimou or ang lee to cheoreograph the fights scenes..

They should come out as a an epic and a masterpieces.

We believe in you Jackie and we know you can make it happen.

hopefully the peoird piece will be an epic drama with no comedy and very realistic action in the vain of the film jet li and andy lau did together last year.
Anyhow i hope it is nothing like the myth. Please let the qing era film be gritty in the vain of poilce story 2.

I wonder why Variety calls the movie Junior Soldier as it does not reflect the meaning in the Chinese title at all. For now, I just call it lterally as Big Soldier Small General, even though it sounds pretty crappy in English than when it’s said in Mandarin. Guess have to see how the production team eventually calls the film in Englsih.

As for the Stanely Tong film,I’m not sure whether that’s Xi Chu Bawang, as there’s next to nothing about it info-wise for now. But I do know that Stanely has just brought the right to make a film about a group of tomb raiders and their stories and encounters with traps and evil spirits. The script for this movie is based on a very very popular Chinese online novel. I read some of the story and it’s very captivating with pretty wild imaginations. So, some speculate that Jackie might be playing one of the major characters as one of the tomb raiders. Honestly, I’m not sure Stanely is able to make the book’s vision come to life, and Jackie might not be starring in this at all.

I’m sure, when Xichu Bawang comes out, people will be comparing this two versions and argue which is better. I sure hope that Jackie will do a very competent job as this is one of his dream movie to do for so long!

I don’t know if you intended it to be but that’s a helpful comment Anthropy. Thanks. BIG SOLDIER SMALL GENERAL appears to be the literal translation of the Jackie Chan movie Variety calls JUNIOR SOLDIER.

Are you saying the Stanley Tong movie is XI CHU BAWANG? If so, very interesting. That would suggest Tong intends to cast Chan as General Xiang Yu (aka Xi Chu Bawang). There is a 1994 film on his life co-starring Gong Li.

Hope Big Soldier Small General and Xi Chu Bawang will be two good epic period movies!
