"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny" |
Director: Yuen Woo-ping
Starring: Donnie Yen, Michelle Yeoh, Harry Shum, Jr., Jason Scott Lee, Roger Yuan, Woon Young Park, Eugenia Yuan, JuJu Chan, Chris Pang, Shuya Chang and Natasha Liu Bordizzo
Release Date: Feb. 19, 2016
It is the sequel to the Academy-Award-winning film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" by Ang Lee in 2000, and a highly anticipated kung fu film. It was originally scheduled for release on Feb. 8, 2016 but to avoid the heated competition with the three giants, it has been postponed to Feb. 19. Ang Lee didn't agree to return to direct the franchise installment, and the director job was finally given to veteran kung fu choreographer and director Yuen Woo-ping. However, it will be very hard for him to repeat the success by Ang Lee. In any case, hopefully the kung fu fighting scenes will be marvelous and satisfying for martial arts fans.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny" was not the only one which skipped the Feb. 8 release to avoid clashing with giants, release dates for the critically panned Chinese science fiction film "Lost in the Pacific," Huo Jianqi's "Xuan Zang" starring Huang Xiaoming, Jackie Chan's "Skiptrace" and the critically-applauded "Ip Man 3" by Wilson Yip starring Donnie Yen, were all rescheduled.
