First Look At Yuen Woo-Ping's "True Legend"



Here's the first look at action director Yuen Woo-ping's upcoming martial arts flick, "True Legend", his first solo directing gig on a feature film in over a decade. The last film he directed was "Iron Monkey 2" in 1996. To the western moviegoers, he is best known as the fight choreographer for "Kill Bill", "The Matrix" trilogies and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

"True Legend" stars Vincent Chiu, Michelle Yeoh, Jay Chou, Cung Le, Andy On, and the late David Carradine.

Chiu portrays Su Qi-Er, a wealthy man living during the Qing Dynasty who loses his fortune and reputation as a result of a conspiracy against him. After being forced out onto the streets, Su dedicates his life to martial arts and reemerges as a patriotic hero known as the "King of Beggars."
