‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’ Sequel Gets A Director!

Back in January it was announced that a sequel to the 2000 hit Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was scheduled to begin production in May. At the time, the project had no attached stars, a title, or even a director (though Ronny Yu was rumoured).

Today, the sequel’s official title has been revealed, as has its director. Yuen Wo Ping will helm Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon II: The Green Destiny. Wo Ping has directed over 20 Chinese films, and has also been very prominent in Hollywood, choreographing fights for more than a dozen action films, including The Matrix and Kill Bill.

It looks like we won’t be seeing this sequel as soon as we’d hoped, however. While originally announced to shoot this May, The Green Destiny will now begin production in March 2014. Michelle Yeoh is set to reprise her role from the first film, while Donnie Yen will star as Silent Wolf.

I still haven’t seen the first film, so I’m not sure how fans will feel about the news. Are you looking forward to the sequel? Sound out below!
