Wong Jing announces new cast of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" with Donnie Yen and Louis Koo joining

At the end of last year, director Wong Jing announced a new movie version of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. Today (May 7), Wong Jing announced the cast of the new version of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber on Weibo, with Raymond Lam playing Zhang Wuji, Janice Man playing Zhao Min who waits in Dadu, and Qiu Yinong playing Zhou Zhiruo who is both good and evil and full of tenderness.

In addition, Chen Zihan plays the Purple-shirted Dragon King, Liu Haolong plays Song Qingshu, Zhu Chenli plays Yin Susu, Louis Koo plays Zhang Cuishan, and Donnie Yen plays Zhang Sanfeng. The new "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" has a luxurious lineup and is full of Hong Kong flavor. Wang Jing said that reshooting the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber fulfilled his 28-year wish, and also said that the selection of Xiao Zhao is still confidential.

Previously, Wong Jing also announced the supporting cast, including the Golden Lion King Xu Jinjiang, the Left Envoy of Light Alex Fong, the Green-winged Bat King Huang Haoran, the White-browed Eagle King Luo Yingjun, the Bitter Monk Guo Zhenghong, the Nun Miejue Liang Zheng, the two elders of Huashan Tin Kai Man and Lam Chi Chung, and Cheng Kun and Shi Yanneng. Some Hong Kong media even broke the news that the production cost of the new version of "The Heaven Sword and the Dragon Saber" reached 200 million yuan.

In 1993, "The Demon Cult Leader" written and directed by Wong Jing was released, starring Jet Li, Sammo Hung, Collin Chou, Zhang Min, Shu-ching Yau, Gigi Lai and others. The film was adapted from the novel "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" and tells the story of Zhang Wuji, whose parents died and was hit by the Mysterious Nether Palm, and then learned the Nine Yang Magic Art and the Great Shift of the Universe, uncovered the court's conspiracy to wipe out the six major sects, rescued his grandfather and master, and became the leader of the Ming Cult.

Unfortunately, the ending of this movie did not complete the story, and there was room for a second part. Due to the poor box office after the release of this movie, there has been no news about the second part since then. After more than 20 years, are you still looking forward to the "New Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber" without Jet Li, Zhang Min and Gigi Lai?
