"A Better Tomorrow" Japanese DVD Cover
In addition to From Vegas To Macau III and potentially, The Invincible 12, Chow Yun-Fat is teaming up with Wong Jing (From Vegas to Macau II) once again for a gangster-drama titled The Bund, which will be a “movie remake” of the 80s TVB series of the same name that also starred Chow.
According to JS, Chow is reprising his iconic role as Hui Man Keung, a driven man who goes from rags to riches as he rises up the ranks to become the leader of a powerful gang. The 1980 series starred Ray Lui (Firestorm), Lau Dan (All Men Are Brothers), Angie Chiu (Heroes Shed No Tears) and Au-Yeung Pooi San (Crime Story).
We’ll keep you updated as we hear more. For now, here’s the trailer to the original series, which hints some good ol’ heroic bloodshed!
It saddens me that Fat is stuck doing dumb Wong Jing movies. For every 200 movies Jing puts out a 5th of one of them is good.
Agree with you to a point. But at least Wong Jing is making some HK-style action movies, unlike John Woo, who likes making epics with Takeshi Kaneshiro.
Yeah, when the hell is Woo gonna give Chow a call? It’s time. Especially with that action/crime-thriller of his on the horizon. And I don’t wanna see Chow in a supporting role. I want one last hurrah, the boys doing what they did best, one more time.
