My brother alerted me to the Kung Fu Fridays blog.

He called my attention specifically to an entry with a link to footage from Tsui Hark's The Flying Swords of Dragon Gate, a 3-D remake of his own 1992 Dragon Inn, which was itself a remake of King Hu's 1967 Dragon Inn.

Normally a remake of a remake would be pretty depressing, but when it involves Tsui Hark doing one of his best films in 3-D with Jet Li—well, that seems promising. You can see some on YouTube here and here is the page Kung Fu Fridays linked to.

I also learned from Kung Fu Fridays that Wong Kar-wai is making an Ip Man film, called The Grandmasters, starring Tony Leung Chiu-wai. I'm excited for that, too, even though Christopher Doyle is not the cinematographer.
