Sorry, no..... Andy has more box office draw than Donnie and Sammo combined. There is a reason the guy is so well paid. Fact is, if Any is in it - people in Greater East Asia will watch it -- especially HK and China
In HK, perhaps.

But in Mainland, it's a different story. And Mainland market is a lot bigger.

Ha, CPA, argue with Elhcay. Tongue neener

Oh, I'm seated. In my nest that gives me banning view. Comprende'?

Nope, Andy has a bigger draw in HK and the Mainland - especially the Mainland....and like you said, the mainland Market is a lot bigger, which is why they are hiring Andy Lau.

If we look at the last few films' box office figures in Mainland from both of them Warlords, Painted Skin, Ip Man, Look for A Star, they more or less even off, whether they're ensemble cast or starring roles. Their other movies was just okay in Mainland.


Yeah, but you cant go by movies alone. We are looking at each actors BO draw. Its simple, go to your average moviegoer from HK, China, Singapore,Taiwan,etc and ask them if they know Donnie Yen/Andy Lau. I bet you will get more Andy Laus.

Sammo Hung will both act and action direct in the sequel. According to Wilson Yip, a very young Bruce Lee (the character) will appear, since the story takes place in the ’50s.

I guess Bruce will be 13 since that was the age he reached (I believe) when he first met Yip Man.

Ip Man 2 Looks Poised to Better the Original

At 12 Shanghai Film Festival, Raymond Wong announces that Ip Man 2 would begin production in Shanghai this August. He says that the script has been completed by his son, Edmond Wong. And he's very happy that his son can write such a great script as Ip Man.

Bruce Lee would be making brief appearances in the film after all. The production is currently on a worldwide talent scout for a 10-year old Bruce Lee, who first became acquainted with Ip Man, and an 18 year-old Bruce Lee, who formally studied under the latter.

Wilson Yip confirms, "Bruce Lee'd definitely show up. Otherwise, it won't lead to Ip Man 3."

Wilson Yip adds, "I hope to find someone who looks very much like Bruce Lee, who would be acknowledged by the audience. And he must possess bravery, and is a youth with great disposition."

And Ip Man 2 is expected to scale even greater heights, Donnie Yen elaborates, "The martial arts scenes must tie in with character development. I will act according to the script. Ip Man just arrived in Hong Kong, how did he turn into a great master of his times, what were his sentiments? It's up to Sammo Hung to choreograph the martial arts sequences, I'll do my level best in delivering the drama and action scenes.

"Initially, some said I won't be able to bring out the air of grandmaster, but I felt that, whether we are actors or not, as long as we put our mind to it, nothing is impossible. I spent a great deal of time on portrayal of Yip Man, I'm glad to have attained today's results.

"What worried me most was my physical conditions, I have sustained multiple injuries, especially when filming Yip Man, I couldn't even lift my right arm.

"Everyone knows that big brother Sammo Hung is very demanding, so I hope I can approach Ip Man 2 in a relaxing mood. This time around, I would be taking up the cudgels against brother Sammo Hung, we hope to shoot the most archetypal fight scene, so everyone is very nervous.

"Sammo Hung has been telling me that he's facing great pressure because of Ip Man's success. Not only is he serving as the martial arts choreographer, but also has a significant role in Ip Man 2. Both of us are under pressure, I believe stress is good for us, it gives us the impetus to improve even further."

Some correction: It was Wilson Yip who talked about Bruce Lee, not Raymond Wong.

And, there's a slight variation to this in another report (probably due to his accent), "Badly need Bruce Lee, or we'd have to make Ip Man 3."

And no, there won't be Andy Lau.
