10 April 2013 1:18 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Thanks to Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, the true story of Bonnie and Clyde has become a piece of pop culture legend, the duo's crime spree across America known to just about everyone. But while director Arthur Penn's 1967 romanticized the tale of the tale of the two outlaws, we've never seen the other side of the story, from the point of view of those trying to take them down. Well, that's about to change. Deadline has learned that Liam Neeson and Woody Harrelson are now being looked at to star in Highwaymen, a film directed by John Lee Hancock about the two Texas Rangers who managed to hunt down and kill Bonnie and Clyde during their legendary Depression Era crime spree.The site says that John Fusco, whose credits include Hidalgo and The Forbidden Kingdom, scripted the drama, and that Media Rights Capital and Universal Pictures, who worked together »

Stephen Chow’s Journey to the West Trailer
22 February 2013 1:37 PM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
For a while now I've been wondering what happened to Stephen Chow. In the early 2000s he achieved international stardom with his movies Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle, but then he sort of disappeared for a while. Although his last movie CJ7 was not particularly well-received, a couple of years later he was poised to make his Hollywood debut directing and co-starring in Sony's The Green Hornet. Unfortunately, he eventually left that project due to creative differences and then... nothing. After a few years away from the game, he's finally back this month with a new film that is on track to break China's all-time box office record. The movie is called Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons and it is a 3D fantasy film with (surprise!) a goofy sense of humour and over-the-top special effects. Based loosely on the same classic Chinese novel as The Forbidden Kingdom, »

Weinstein Company reportedly planning follow-up to martial arts epic, this time with Ronny Yu to direct
After a gap of more than 12 years, a sequel to the international martial arts hit Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is being readied – but without the participation of the original's director, Ang Lee.
A report on Deadline.com suggests that the Weinstein Company are moving ahead with the follow-up after settling a rights row over the source material, the five-strong series of the Crane-Iron novels by Chinese writer Wang Dulu, who died in 1977. Crouching Tiger was based largely on the fourth in Wang's series, while the sequel will be based on the fifth, titled Iron Knight, Silver Vase.
According to the report, John Fusco, writer of Jet Li's The Forbidden Kingdom, has been hired to write the script, and producer Harvey Weinstein has approached veteran Hong Kong director Ronny Yu – best known for The Bride With White Hair »

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Sequel To Film This May
24 January 2013 5:01 PM, PST | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Honestly, I had no idea that a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon sequel was in the works. Did anyone else know about this? When was this even announced?
I may be out of the loop but it appears that at least one person knew about this, and that person is Harvey Weinstein, one half of The Weinstein Company, who are gearing up to film a sequel to Ang Lee’s film this May. Apparently, the studio has fought with Sony for the past little while over the rights to the books that Lee’s film was based on. Turns out Harvey won that battle (no surprise) and now he’s going ahead and putting out a sequel.
With a script from John Fusco, who wrote The Forbidden Kingdom, and based on the novel Silver Vase, Iron Knight, the story is set to focus on Yu Shu Lien, which was Michelle Yeoh »

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Is Getting a Sequel!

The Weinstein Company is developing a sequel to the classically awesome Ang Lee directed martial arts film Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon!

The script for the film was written by John Fusco (Young Guns, Hidalgo, The Forbidden Kingdom), and the studio is looking at hiring Chinese director Ronny Yu (Warriors of Virtue, Bride of Chucky, Freddy Vs.
