- Let's Steal Together --

Let's Steal Together is a HK$24m contemporary martial arts comedy that is basically about several artful thieves' hunt for treasure. The cast includes Gillian Chung, Charlene Choi, Wu Jing, Zhang Qian, Yuen Wah, Shek Sau, Sammo Hung, Steven Cheung, etc. Let's Steal Together is expected to be released in early 2007.

It's the first time Kong Tao Hoi, an action director and production planner, works as a director. He was the one behind all sorts of sleight of hand card tricks that Chow Yun Fat did in God of Gamblers. This time around, he will devise not only a set of tough moves for The Twins, but also fresh, novel ways of pilfering.

He has been touted as the “Last Dragon” – the last of a dying breed of martial artists-cum-actors to come out of Hong Kong. But unlike Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen is seen as the rightful successor to the original dragon, Bruce Lee. Much like the late Lee, Yen also took it upon himself to spread the word on Chinese martial arts and elevate Hong Kong action films to new heights. Upon closer inspection, you will find that Yen does share some similarities with his idol Lee. Both went to America from Hong Kong and, after establishing themselves there, returned to Hong Kong to work.  The Star >>More<<

-- Wing Chun --

Wing Chun TV series has begun production recently in Hengdian. Nicholas Tse, who plays the spoilt brat Leung Bik, says that he does martial arts productions mainly because of his love for kung fu. Apparently, his training has paid off, for the actors are all quite impressed of his skills, even Sammy Hung who plays his enemy says, "I think that Nicholas Tse fights better than me. He is talented, and has been training for quite a long time. I didn't train much with my father when young, and have only learned a little martial arts after I have grown up, but it's already too late."

Sammo Hung says that he accepted the project mainly to support his son Sammy Hung, who plays the lead villain. Besides, he's taking the opportunity to reunite with his fellow classmate Yuen Biao to create another classic. Yuen Biao, who is also glad to be working with his "Big Brother" Sammo Hung again, says that basically, he is playing the same character Leung Tsan as his 81's classic The Prodigal Son. However, he was someone else's son in that movie while this time round, he plays Nicholas Tse's father.  Netease, Tom

Production of 《双子神偷》 Let's Steal Together, directed by Kong Tao Hoi, has begun in mid July. Gillian Chung and Charlene Choi are playing twin sisters who are thieves and who do not have the same looks. Gillian Chung, who has to handle a series of action scenes since the first day of the shoot, is worried that she might have difficulties dealing with them since she didn't have time to prepare for the action scenes beforehand due to her busy schedule.

While Gillian Chung and Charlene Choi regret not being able to work with Tian Liang, they're glad to work with martial arts stars Sammo Hung and Wu Jing. The script has already been amended to include more challenging martial arts scenes for Sammo Hung and Wu Jing. Moreover, there will be some exciting square ups between the two.  Wenwei Po, Chengdu Daily
