"So, the Master comes down again, again and again. Different Masters come down and tell people, “Please be vegetarian, be moral, be good, be compassionate.” But no one listens, or not many people listen; and they even persecute the ones who listen, or the Master. Therefore, it just has to happen now and again, when it accumulates enough karma or enough destructive power."

Donnie Yen Returns as Chen Zhen, But... His Legendary Fist Hath Fury No More?

-- Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen --
Recently, a brief preview clip of Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen was shown at Hong Kong Filmart 2010, the visitors were all very impressed by the action scenes that they could never have had enough, but noted Donnie Yen's resemblance to Kato from Green Hornet.

Donnie Yen explains that he had been discussing with director Andrew Lau at length, hoping to make a breakthrough in his appearance, and eventually, they decided to create this comicbook superhero outfit. In addition, the film will be a departure from Donnie Yen's previous action choreographies, presenting something completely new.

Producer Gordon Chan says that he and director Andrew Lau are close friends who grew up together. Having worked with Donnie Yen on Painted Skin, he has explicit confidence in him. This collaboration gives him immense happiness, far exceeding his initial expectations, "When I was thinking of making this film, they were the first to come to my mind, what kind of sparks would be generated when the three of us team up?"

Andrew Lau says that filming went on very smoothly, and the trio enjoyed working with each other, "Filming for The Return of Chen Zhen proceeded at great speed, much faster than I expected. It's now undergoing post-production."

Legend of the Fist: Return of Chen Zhen is scheduled for release on October 1, 2010 and flashbacks from some classic moments in Fist of Fury could be seen in the film. Netease, Sina

That poster to Shares looks dope! Just amazes me that Johnnie To can make simple poster look peculiar and attractive.

Not sure if it's called Shares, or if that's just part of the poster design. But it's closer to the Chinese title Life-snatching Gold.
