“The New King of Comedy” Theatrical Poster
Hong Kong superstar Stephen Chow (Kung Fu Hustle) is back with a sequel to his 1999 seminal comedy hit, The King of Comedy, which he co-directed with Lee Lik-chi (God of Cookery).
The sequel, titled The New King of Comedy, stars Wang Baoqiang (Monk Comes Down the Mountain), Yao Chen (Firestorm), Bruce Leung (The Fists, the Kicks and the Evil) and Lin Yun (The Mermaid).
The film tells the story of an young woman who is dreaming and striving to pursue the actors’ dream.
The New King of Comedy is currently playing domestically, but we’re certain that it will eventually see a U.S. release, so stay tuned!
I have laughed my ass off and haven’t understood a word. Stephen Chow is a comic genius.
YES!!!!!! Thank you movie maestro / cinematic genius Stephen Chow.
This looks more like a dramedy than the first. Interesting direction to take.
Most people were expecting this movie to be about Wang Baoqiang and aren’t too keen on this new actress, Jingwen E being the star. Hope she does well!
