Ip Man 3D

[glow=red,2,300]Donnie Yen Set To Return For ‘Ip Man 3D’[/glow]
I could care less about the 3D, but am rather shocked to see
this news. Donnie Yen said he was done with the Ip Man series.
Glad to see he re-thought that. Ip Man I & II is some of my fav
martial arts flicks.

They say the best things come in threes. Nowadays in the film
industry, blockbuster movies not only come in threes, but in 3D
as well. Enter: Ip Man 3D.
Twitch is reporting that Donnie Yen (Ip Man, Ip Man 2) will
return to reprise his role as Yip Man, also pronounced “Ip Man,”
the legendary Chinese martial artist who studied the art of Wing
Chun and went on to teach his craft to students in China.
Perhaps you’ve heard of his greatest pupil: a young man by the
name of Bruce Lee.
The first Ip Man follows Ip’s time in the city of Foshan during
the Sino-Japanese war and features some of the most breathtaking
fight scenes ever to grace the silver-screen. Ip Man 2 is set in
Hong Kong, which is under British Colonial rule at the time, and
successfully ups its predecessor with its unique battle scenes.
Donnie Yen initially stated that he would not return to the Ip
Man franchise after the second film, but has evidently had a
change of heart since making those comments.
Many believe it’s only a matter of time before Yen brings his
talents stateside. In 2011, rumors floated around that Donnie
Yen would be added to the cast of The Expendables 2, but the
casting never came to fruition – much to the chagrin of hardcore
action fans. Visions of another fight scene between Yen and Jet
Li begun dancing around in heads across the globe.
Plenty of folks roll their eyes when they hear mention of 3D
being used in a film, but there has to be some sort of
excitement when thinking of the possibilities of using the
effect on Donnie Yen, with Ip Man director Wilson Yip once again
calling the shots. We were not fortunate to get to see Bruce Lee
do battle in HD or 3D, but this is a step in the right
direction.
There is no word yet on when production for Ip Man 3 will begin,
but Pegasus Motion Pictures, the studio behind Ip Man, is aiming
for a 2013 release. Lynn Hung (Ip Man 2) and Yu Bo are set to
join Yen in the threequel.

[glow=red,2,300]Donnie Yen and Wilson Yip Withdraw from “Ip Man
3”[/glow]
[quote]By Joanna on May 10, 2013
In April of last year, it was announced that Donnie Yen
(甄子丹) would be reprising his role as the
titular character in Ip Man 3 <葉問 3>, leading to
the heightened anticipation of many fans. However, a Hong Kong
magazine recently reported that a dispute had risen between
producer Raymond Wong (黃百鳴) and director
Wilson Yip (葉偉信), and that Raymond wanted
his son, Edmond Wong (黃子桓), to helm the
movie instead. In order to show support for the director, Donnie
decided to back out of Ip Man 3, insisting that he would not act
if Wilson did not direct.
At the beginning of the year, Raymond announced that Pegasus
Motion Pictures had spent 150 million RMB in order to bring back
the dream duo of Donnie and Wilson. He also indicated that
filming for Ip Man 3 was slated to begin in Hangzhou in July.
Moreover, the movie was planned to be released in 3D.
However, the lack of news sparked concern among fans and the
media. It was soon discovered that Ip Man 3 was facing funding
problems, which stemmed from the hesitance of mainland Chinese
companies to invest in projects that might not bring a
satisfactory return at the box office. Their unwillingness to
invest has been exacerbated by box office flops like Magic to
Win <開心魔法>, which was produced by
Raymond, and the recent Saving General Yang
<忠烈楊家將>.
Despite the limited funds, Raymond felt that the cast and crew
should commence filming. Wilson suggested that they cut
production costs, although he was worried about the effect that
this would have on the movie’s quality and 3D special effects.
To Wilson, it would be better to not film, rather than risk
damaging the series’ reputation due to lack of funds. In the
end, Raymond decided to replace Wilson with his son, Edmond, and
to shoot Ip Man 3 in regular 2D.
In response to this decision, Donnie announced that he was
withdrawing alongside Wilson. The two share a deep friendship,
which started when they first collaborated on the 2005 movie
SPL: Sha Po Lang <殺破狼>. Since then, they
have worked together on four more films, including the first two
installments of the highly successful Ip Man series. Many say
they are a golden pair, destined to work together, and that a
success for one is a success for the other.
When asked about his take on Ip Man 3, Wilson responded that he
has not yet made a decision: “I’m still in the middle of
discussing the details, because I can make a decision only when
I see if there are new factors included.” Donnie showed his
support for Wilson, saying, “I’m waiting for Wilson to be
ready!”
According to insiders, Donnie and Wilson’s filming schedules are
packed for the rest of the year, making it unlikely that they
will have time to start shooting Ip Man 3 in July. Wilson is set
to begin filming Zhong Kui <鍾馗>, whereas Donnie
will go from the set of The Iceman Cometh
<3D冰封俠> directly to that of Teddy Chan’s
(陳德森) One Person’s Martial Arts Circle
<一個人的武林>.
In response to possible scheduling conflicts, Raymond’s
daughter, Alvina, responded, “We are a listed company, and we
signed a contract with the investors. No matter who is in the
cast, we will start filming.”[/quote]

A little.
Yet Donnie Yen is doing plenty in spite of Ip Man series.
He's keeping me plenty entertained.
