There has been news about Hong Kong director Peter Chan is going to remake “Chi Ma,” a 1973 epic movie directed by the late Zhang Cheh.
It’s said that Peter is inviting superstars Takeshi Kaneshiro, Andy Lau and Jet Li to star in the movie. No official statement was made yet, but if it’s true, this will be an interesting movie based on the cast itself.
Peter Chan is one of Hong Kong most sort after director, his movie “Perhaps Love” won international acclaimed and was a box office hit.
One problem though, as the story was based on Ching Dynasty, the main actors will have to shave their head. It will probably be easy for Jet Li who has acted in numerous Ching Dynasty movies, Andy Lau is known for making sacrifices for the name of art.. but Takeshi Kaneshiro?
It will be a huge thing for Takeshi to shave his head, his long hair is sort of his trademark as well. I wonder if he’s ready to make such a great leap just for the movie.
Andy Lau and Takeshi have recently worked together in movie “The House of the Flying Daggers” that starred Zhang Ziyi as well.
