Friday, Oct 16, 2009 10:58PM / News
Wu Jing's currently filming Fantastic Four Detectives (whatever it'll be called) by Gao Qun Shu, playing "Goatherd" Yang Xiao Ming, a Shaolin disciple and one of the four detectives who are pursuing two criminals and two hired guns to the desert.
Duan Yi Hong, Zhang Li, Ni Da Hong will play the other three detectives, while Francis Ng and Yu Nan are the assassins. Charlie Yeung plays Francis Ng's girlfriend. The film is expected to wrap by December 2009, with a release on May 1, 2010.
Wu Jing feeling reinvigorated in the vast desert, being given much creative latitude by the director.
Wu Jing will then be joining Andy Lau, Nicholas Tse and Jackie Chan (cameo) in Shaolin by Benny Chan from December 2009 to April 2010. Not sure if Jet Li will eventually accept the cameo as a senior monk.

Legend of Shaolin Kungfu 3 Begins Production
Sunday, Sep 20, 2009 6:29PM / News
Legend of Shaolin Kungfu 3 has finally begun production earlier this month. Expected to be released in late 2010.
It's about Emperor Kangxi sending a few Manchu officials, escorted by 8 Shaolin monks, on a mission bringing a cabalistic chest to the Western Region. Along the way, they are ambushed by Ming loyalists and the crown price's clique who are trying to uncover the secrets that lie within the chest.
Glad to know that Li Yuan, one of the best martial arts stars to emerge from the new generation, will be the best fighter among the monks yet again. Thankfully, they've cut down the number of monks to only 8 this time. There's lack of focus in part 2 due to it having too many main characters - 13 monks. And hope they'll address the crazy editing in part 2 where scenes kept being switched after barely a few lines of dialogue.
Seems that Xu Ming Hu will have a part as one of the 8 monks.
Our favourite baddie Ji Chun Hua will play a Manchu official whose intentions are unclear, bordering between good and evil, but not totally a villain.

Wu Jing's Blog, City Under Siege
Saturday, Jun 13, 2009 9:39PM / News
While awaiting and hoping eternally for the activation of Wu Jing here since Feb 2008, Wu Jing finally has his blog launched, but on Sohu. His first entry is about his return to Sichuan for charity activities. So only available in Chinese. Hopefully, he'll have a blog here too, and be able to reach out to English fans.
Anyhow, Wu Jing is now in Hong Kong filming City Under Siege by Benny Chan. Ngai Sing is on board too! Expected to be release no earlier than summer 2010.
"In this film on courage, a group of circus performers goes on a rampage after some kind of mutation, that grants them superhuman abilities, in an accident. However, one of them, an ordinary clown originally, would not condone the others' misdeeds and for the sake of the entire city, stands up against them."
