‘Crouching Tiger,’ Unveiled Sequel

Martial-arts fans, wait no more. Michelle Yeoh is returning to star in the sequel to “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” joined by kung-fu star Donnie Yen.

 

Producer Harvey Weinstein described the action duo as a “dream team” and said the new film, “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon II — The Green Destiny,” will be directed by legendary martial-arts choreographer Yuen Wo-ping, who served as action choreographer on the first film. It’s slated to begin production in March 2014.

 

The sequel is based on the novel “Iron Knight, Silver Vase,” by the late Chinese writer Wang Dulu, part of the “Crane-Iron Pentalogy” series that also included “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.”

That will be great, and a good choice of actors because when it is released in the states, it is always best to dub the English language using the original actors, and Michelle Yeoh and Donnie Yen both speak very fluent English, Michelle with a slight British accent, which is very interesting.

... Michelle with a slight British accent, which is very interesting.

it always amazes me how the Chinese can forget all the deception, devastation and dirty dealing the British have inflicted on China yet at times it seems to be forgotten.

?? How did this turn into an anti-colonial political topic. ?? Let's avoid politics.

 

Michelle was born in Malaysia, and at age 15 moved to England, thus the British accent. An interesting point about Michelle, she learned English and Malay before Cantonese. She learned the lines for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon phonetically.

So did this ever get made? I looked on around on the internet. It sounds like filming started but couldn't find out if it ever got released? Danb

 

Found some info about the book that I think the sequel was taken from on Amazon but no movie DVD.
