“The Invincible 12” Chinese Teaser Poster
During the 2015 Hong Kong Filmart, a new movie celebrating Wong Jing’s 100th film as a director, titled The Invincible 12 (aka Dirty Dozen), was announced.
The plan was to cast 12 leading men whom he worked with previously. The actors he was considering include Chow Yun-Fat, Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Huang Xiao Ming, Louis Koo, Nick Cheung, Ekin Cheng, Daniel Wu, Shawn Yue, Nicholas Tse and Tony Leung Ka Fai.
Wong stated that The Invincible 12 would be an action-packed, HK$ 300 million blockbuster full of pretty girls and a lot of fun for the audience. Filming was supposed to start in June of 2016 (which obviously didn’t happen) but now we have new updates suggesting the project is still alive…
According to MT (via DiP), Wong Jing revealed that he still intends to make The Invincible 12 and plans to bring together Donnie Yen, Andy Lau and Chow Yun-Fat as a big tribute to classic Hong Kong cinema. None of the actors are officially signed on, but Jing did make one thing clear: “There will be Chow Yun Fat, without him, I would not shoot.” During this same meeting, Jing also announced the inclusion of Andy Lau in Donnie Yen’s Chasing the Dragon.
The veteran filmmaker directed his first film, Challenge of the Gamesters, in 1981. Since then, he has gone on to write, direct and produce a huge number of films, including some very commercially successful ones such as God of Gamblers, Royal Tramp and City Hunter.
It’s probably time for them to update the 2015 teaser poster for the film. If our calculations are right, The Invincible 12 would now be Jing’s 102th film.
We’ll keep you updated on The Invincible 12 as we hear more. For now, watch this:
Please give Chow something to do other than humiliate himself.
Although if this is more Chinese money I guess the gunplay will by nonexistent.
