    Default Sha Po Lang (Donnie Yen, Sammo Hung, Wu Jing)

    Anyone hear about this film? It's supposed to use very little CG. Sammo is a bad guy.

    Wilson Yip's SPL Movie
    August 27th 2004 -
    Martial Arts super stars are all lined up for Wilson Yip's SPL. SPL is the working title which is derived from the initials of three renegade stars in Chinese astrology which take on good or evil characteristics depending on their position in the heavens. Set to star in the film is the martial arts superstar Sammo Hung along with "Iron Monkeys" Donnie Yen and up and coming star and wushu champion Wu Jing. Simon Yam, who appeared in Tomb Raider 2, also has a leading role in the film.

    Described by Chang as a dark action drama, the film revolves around the psychological battle between a ruthless mafia boss (Hung), who has killed off the family of a police witness, and a cop (Yam) who has taken it upon himself to raise the one surviving family member.

    Chang also commented, “We’ve recently had some successful films that were strong on drama but didn’t contain much action, while the old style kung-fu films had all the moves but were weak on drama,” Chang explains. “With this film, we hope to combine both elements.”

    Yummy! the cast looks impressive and basing on the cast they've got ... hopefully they'll keep the CGI effects to the minimal.
    hmmm if only Jet Li is in it, then it'll b complete. Nah better not b too greedy... anyone knows if Wu Jing is one of the main characters or just a side kick?

    I heard that Wu Jing is supposed to be a bad guy. Since Sammo is the main bad guy, I guess he's just a sidekick (for the bad guys).

    It won't be released till at least April 2005.

    -- Sha Po Lang's (SPL) Release --
    Donnie Yen reveals that Sha Po Lang 《杀破狼》 will not be released this November as many more months are required for the postproduction. However they are working on getting a teaser ready for the major upcoming film festivals, such as AFM (American Film Market, 3 - 10 November 2004), Berlinale (Berlin Film Festival, 10 - 20 February 2005) and perhaps Cannes (12 - 23 May 2005). The movie expects to be released no earlier than April.
