Film 'The Grandmasters' Poster Exposed

Director Wong Kar Wai's upcoming film about wing chun master Ip Man "The Grandmasters" (一代宗師) has been put on hold for nearly 8 years and it was not until last year the team officially started filming. Although the film is not done filming nor the release date has been confirmed, but at least one of the film's posters is finished, as it has exposed in the American Film Market.

In this American version poster, lead Tony Leung Chiu Wai's version of Ip Man is fighting against his enemies in the rain and his stand makes him powerful already. Foreign media even describes Tony as the Chinese dark knight.

Martial arts choreographer of the film Yuen Wo Ping greatly praises Tony's current status for the film's action scenes. "I never worried about him," he says, "Talking about body figures, Tony looks better than Donnie Yen. It is unbelievable that there is strength in Tony's kicks. He does have the potential to film action films."

Another photo from the film is leaked and it is the female lead of the film Ziyi Zhang. Her role is yet to be introduced, but based on the photo, she is playing someone who should be skillful in using Ba Gua Zhang.

In addition, some netizens actually suggest to name the film "Yeahman" instead, seems like they want to bring Ip Man into the foreign superhero family (like Superman, Batman, Ironman, etc).

Tony Leung Buys Couple Jewelry to Make Wife Happy

Director Wong Kar Wai announced filming new film <一代宗师> in 2002, but it wasn't until last year that he began filming. Male lead Tony Leung Chiu Wai seems being fooled by his good friend. He didn't know when the film will be done filming, and often have to fly back and forth from Hong Kong to Mainland.

Tony's wife Carina Lau of course isn't too happy about it. Earlier when she promoted film <> in Beijing, she first said box office of <> definitely can't be better than <一代宗师>, then she pointed Wong is slow at making films, and may not get it done in time by New Year. It's known her sharp comments surprised Tony, but he doesn't want to offend his good friend nor wife, so he prepared some surprises to make Carina happy.

Tony returned HK recently and was photographed showing up at a jewelry store in Central. Tony didn't have time to pick the perfect gift that when the sales brought out a bracelet, he didn't look at the style closely and already told sales to wrap it. He didn't take 10 minutes to finish buying the gift. He had to go back to Beijing right away and it's believe he will have a short meeting with wife over there.

In fact, <一代宗师> held a press conference 8 years ago and Tony even went to learn Wing Chun from son of Ip Man, master of Wing Chun. However, many obstacles occurred. When the film finally started filming last year, Tony's left hand broke during practice and they had to delay filming. James Cameron took 10 years to finish Avatar, is Wong trying to break that record?
