Correction: You will know who Yen is after The Weinstein Company release "Wu Xia" {nm}

Posted by: Peterlee (a.k.a Peterlee (from past)) on Aug 22, 20:36 in response to Apokalips' post I know of Jaa...never even heard of Yen until right now,...

Twitch: RogerMore, looks like you were on the money...[JETLI] is out of [XPND2], which explains why they are courting DYEN Paul2k Aug 22, 19:35

they also hint that DYEN seems unlikely. I doubt he would do it, but give Tony Jaa the part, and a chance to showcase, and he could take off Moviesnob Aug 22, 19:39

the hook of Expendables is using known action stars though {nm} moles Aug 22, 19:42

I think Yen and Jaa are on equal footing...dont know about Asia, but in English Speaking territories, their product sells about the same {nm} Moviesnob Aug 22, 19:47

I know of Jaa...never even heard of Yen until right now, if that means anything... {nm} Apokalips Aug 22, 20:05

I will know who Yen is after The Weinstein Company release "Wu Xia" {nm} Peterlee Aug 22, 20:34

If someone doesn't know Yen from Shanghai Knights or HERO, doubtful that person will seek out a small limited release. {nm} Antibody Aug 22, 20:40

watch IP Man and IP Man 2 {nm} Moviesnob Aug 22, 20:51

and Once Upon a Time in China 2 {nm} RogerMore Aug 23, 06:35

Youtube has many of his fight scens Antibody Aug 23, 09:07

Ken Jeong! moles Aug 22, 20:07

Tony Jaa is very difficult to work with (ie. the trouble of "Ong bak 2 ") {nm} Peterlee Aug 22, 20:32

yup {nm} Moviesnob Aug 22, 20:51

JCHAN is the right age group and friend of Stallone, but probably sets the wrong tone. {nm} Antibody Aug 22, 20:52

maybe...but he has another side to him though...like in Karate Kid {nm} tealfan Aug 22, 21:47

He's still very particular about the kinds of projects he chooses to do, though, and it's highly doubtful he'd skew so violent and adult. {nm} Paul2k Aug 22, 21:57

But DYEN market value is bigger than JCHAN in Asian market now. {nm} Lawrenxx Aug 23, 01:16

This is if DYEN turns down the movie. {nm} Antibody Aug 23, 08:59

Chow Yun Fat anyone? {nm} Apokalips Aug 22, 20:57

he's not a martial artist (but faked well in crouching tiger). He is an action icon though, so should work {nm} Moviesnob Aug 22, 21:02

if they want to go true 80s old school, they should get Al Leong moles Aug 22, 22:17
