The Story:
Set in 1920s Shanghai, the film features Donnie Yen as a local resistance fighter who had been taken for dead after a bloody skirmish. After an absence of seven years he returns in disguise to uncover a plot linking the triads and the Japanese. Chen Zhen is the same character that Bruce Lee played in Fists of Fury (1971) and that Jet Li played in Fist of Legend (1994). Now Donnie Yen can be added to that short, but amazing list of leading martial arts actors who have played the role of Chen Zhen.
After seeking vengeance on his mentor’s death, it was reported that Chen Zhen was shot to death by the Japanese. Seven years later, Chen Zhen returns to Shanghai in disguise as a wealthy businessman who becomes allies with an infamous mafia boss. Chen Zhen soon discovers that the mafia is in cahoots with the Japanese. Dressed as a superhero that looks similar to Kato from The Green Hornet at night, Chen Zhen sets out to stop evil once and for all while targeting an assassination list that was put together by the Japanese.
The Legend of Chen Zhen stars Donnie Yen, Shu Qi, and Anthony Wong with Donnie Yen providing the martial arts choreography. The action film will be written and produced by Gordon Chan with Andrew Lau in the director’s chair. The film will also be a sequel of sorts rather than a re-telling or a remake.
The Legend of Chen Zhen will be released theatrically on October 1st, 2010 in Hong Kong.
Twitchfilm debuted the first official teaser for The Legend of Chen Zhen earlier this week.
