Hong Kong actor/director Stephen Chow will be co-producing a Japanese movie, “Shaolin Girl.”
Stephen’s popularity in Japan is high rising after the success of “Shaolin Soccer” and “Kungfu Hustle.” His popularity has prompted Fuji-TV to invite him to co-produce the movie, with Shibasaki Kou (pic) the leading actress.
The movie is about an ice-hockey player (Shibasaki Kou) who went to China’s Shaolin Temple to learn Kungfu and blended martial arts with ice-hockey.
A few co-actors in Shaolin Soccer will be featuring in the movie as well.
