ANG LEE AND YUEN WO-PING TOGETHER AGAIN
The movie adaptation of SHANG CHI: MASTER OF KUNG FU, a Marvel comics character created in the 70's to capitalize on the kung fu kraze, looks one more step closer to being a reality. In an interview with Spanish language publication El Mundo, Ang Lee said that he was producing the movie and Yuen Wo-ping was directing.
Marvel honcho, Avi Arad, confirms that a Shang Chi movie is in development.

Is Ang Lee's secret goal to make hugely successful arthouse favorites like Crouching Tiger and Brokeback Mountain just so that he can immediately follow them up with second-rate comic book films like The Hulk and Shang-Chi (a fifth or sixth rate hero at best). One the one hand, that's crazy, but on the other hand, that's the kind of crazy I admire.
