Legend of Yip Man Cast Announced

-- Legend of Yip Man --

《叶问传》 Legend of Yip Man, produced by Mandarin Films, will begin production in late February 2008. Wilson Yip is directing, with the main production behind SPL being involved as well. Apart from Donnie Yen, Sammo Hung will also be joining the cast. And for maximum impact, they'll be performing their own stunts in this action oriented feature. Ngai Sing and a few martial artists are also being considered. Raymond Wong says that they are gathering information on the life of Yip Man, and have even been to Hall of Yip Man in Foshan as part of the research. The movie has full support from Yip Man's son, who's agreed to be the consultant. Raymond Wong says that the film will take on a similar look and feel as SPL. Shanghai News Times

I hope Wing Chun itself will be shown in a correct manner. That would be the greatest tribute to the film.

A quick update on this: Filming will begin today (Feb 26). A ceremony will be held at Hall of Yip Man at 2 pm, with Donnie doing some demo on wooden dummy. Sammo Hung, who has been working with some Wing Chun practitioners, will be the choreographer.
