For those who is wondering what is cooking on Tony’s next project with Wong Kar Wai, the Ipman Biography…

Tony is to go into training on Wing Chun for 6 months to play his role as Ipman, the Master.

Wong Kar Wai, who is doing preparatory work on “Woman from Shanghai”, is developing Ipman in his mind. He told Tony that he will not be using special effects, and requested for Tony to train up on Wing Chun. Tony who has sustained injury in his last action film Seoul Raiders, were put off by action movies. After a long consideration, he has decided to take this up as a challenge for himself, and is willing to start training from scratch.

Tony has garnered numerous Best Actor awards throughout the years. What other possibilities does Tony have on screen? Tony asked himself. He is going to use half a year’s time to give a different result to the audience.

Tony has sustained internal injury while filming SR (true???). He is seeking treatment from Chinese physician, and jogs regularly to get the circulation going to dispel the clogged blood, before he can start training. Ipman’s son is going to teach Tony, and will start off slow at 1-2 hrs a day, and slowly building up.

Ipman said that “it is hard for s disciple to select a good master, and it is also hard for a master to select a good disciple.”. Wong Kar Wai and Ipamn’s son wants to show on screen the power of Wing Chun Fist.

Tony has acted in many kungfu movies before. After appearing in Hero, he felt tired in mind and body, possibly because of being too engrossed in the role. Tony has now adjusted his mind set,and become more confident, looking forward to a new breakthrough with Wong Kar Wai.
