[Movies] - Donnie Yen will be a Jedi Knight for Star Wars Episode 8
An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
Donnie Yen has been choosen (over Jet Li and several other shortlisted China/Taiwan/HK actors) to star as a Jedi Knight in Star Wars Episode 8. http://www.straitstimes.com/lifestyl...i-of-star-wars HONG KONG - Hong Kong action star Donnie Yen is to star in Episode VIII of the Star Wars franchise, said a report. According to Apple Daily, Yen is expected to be in London early next month to start film work. He will play a Chinese Jedi who meets iconic character Han Solo and becomes his ally, said Apple. The newspaper did not cite any sources or official confirmation for its story today, and named Harrison Ford as returning to play Han Solo. It said Yen won the role over eight other actors including Jet Li, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Wang Leehom, Chang Chen, Daniel Wu and Stephen Chow. He and Li were favoured because of their fighting skills and proficiency in English, but Disney eventually gave the role to Yen, who commands US$4 million (S$5.4 million) per movie, and not Li whose fee is US$10 million. Apple said Yen, 51, was confirmed for the role about a month ago but is under an agreement not to leak the news. Disney announced in March that Episode VIII would come out on May 26, 2017, to be written and directed by Rian Johnson (Loope, 2012). J. J. Abrams' Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens opens in the United States on Dec 18. Attached Images Click here to view the whole thread at www.sammyboy.com. |
