“Breathing Fire” Soundtrack Poster
Ke Huy Quan – best known for his child roles in 1984’s Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, 1985’s The Goonies and perhaps less so for wiping the floor with Bolo in 1991’s Breathing Fire – is making a hard-hitting comeback with an upcoming actioner titled With Love.
A Hollywood action lead for Quan should come as no surprise, given his critically acclaimed comeback role for 2022’s Everything Everywhere All at Once, which earned Quan a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
Plot details for With Love are being kept underwraps, but the film will mark the directorial debut of Jonathan Eusebio, a longtime 2nd unit director and stunt coordinator whose recent credits include 2022’s Violent Night and Obi-Wan Kenobi (via Deadline). It should also be noted that Quan is no stranger to action choreography, as he was part of Corey Yuen’s team in the 2001 Jet Li thriller, The One.
Joining Quan for film are Daniel Wu (Caught in Time, Sky on Fire) and Ariana DeBose (West Side Story). Producing With Love is David Leitch (Atomic Blonde, John Wick) and Kelly McCormick’s 87North, with Luke Passmore writing from an original script by Josh Stoddard (Warrior) and Matthew Murray.
We’ll keep you updated on With Love as we learn more. Until then, here’s a look at what Quan can do with his hands ‘n feet in the Trailer for Breathing Fire:
This could be great. Jonathan Eusebio is coming into his own as an action director as he had great tutelage. Ke Huy Quan is also no stranger to action choreography as he was part of Corey Yuen’s team in The One. I’m sure Quan and Eusebio could come up with great stuff together.
Thanks Andrew. I noted that in the article after reading your comment. =)
