PETER CHAN NOT REMAKING SHAW BROTHERS FILM

Previously, several people (including me) reported that Peter Chan (PERHAPS LOVE, COMRADES: ALMOST A LOVE STORY) was remaking the Shaw Brothers movie THE BLOOD BROTHERS. It was supposed to be loosely based on Chang Cheh's classic Shaw Brothers movie and it was going to be called TZE MA or THE ASSASSINATION OF MA.

Now Variety is reporting (in the last sentence of this article) that this movie will not be a remake of BLOOD BROTHERS in any way shape or form. These movies will have nothing to do with each other. However, TZE MA looks like it will definitely be Peter Chan's next project after he finishes producing Derek Yee's PROTEGE.
