Wong Jing to Work on a New Film Featuring Yuen Biao

Following their first-time collaboration on the film 'Dreadnaught' in 1981, renowned directors Wong Jing and actor Yuen Biao are making another joint project through a film called 'Sifu Vs. Vampires'.

Wong has revealed his plans to launch a movie which had been ten-year in the making but had to be stored for a long time because of issues on budget.

The producer-director related that when he was only getting started in the showbiz industry, he had worked as a writer for Yuen Woo Ping, adding that Biao has already been a leading man back then.

Wong explained that when he had decided to cast the actor in one of his films, the movie was unfortunately postponed. Now, the director expressed that when he finally got the chance to work with Biao again, he doesn't have any regrets.

As for the movie, Wong explained that the lead character, the sifu, would not be portrayed as an invincible being who excelled at everything.

Additionally, according to the filmmaker, since he has uploaded the trailer online, it has received positive feedback. Wong said that if the current film he is working on would be accepted well by viewers, he plans to make a sequel for it.

On the other hand, Biao has also shared his thoughts regarding the upcoming film. The 57-year old actor revealed that it had been a tough experience filming the new movie, but later made up for it, saying that it was worth all the difficulty.

Biao explained that he had the chance to work with Hong Kong actors Philip Ng and Ronald Cheng, both of whom he praised for their performances particularly on martial arts.

On a side note, Director Wong will also be launching his 100th film entitled '12 Golems' which is purportedly similar to the Hollywood film 'Ocean's 11' and will also feature Biao.
