"A Better Tomorrow" Japanese DVD Cover
According to imdb.com, pre-production has started on RockLand, which will star Chow Yun-fat (A Better Tomorrow), Ringo Starr (of The Beatles) and Eric Roberts (Best of the Best). RockLand marks the feature debut of Valeri Davidiouk; oddly enough, Davidiouk has four films in pre-production mode, including another one called Rockland Boulevard, which has a completely different plot and cast.
Anyways, here’s the official plot to RockLand: Two friends, a fighter and a wrestler, take on a lunatic crime lord, in order to save a young girl, and protect the professional fighting industry from organized crime.
We’ll have more information about RockLand as it becomes available. Personally, I think this whole project should be taken with a grain of salt. But hey, you’ll never know.
If it was Ringo Lam, that’d be one thing. But I don’t associate Ringo Starr with action films. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd8fOouKiLc
Sounds shady. It looks like Chow Yun Fat has already reestablished himself in China.
