wilson yip's ip man



One movie I'm really looking forward to seeing, if it ever makes it over here to the States, is the martial arts biopic Ip Man, which hit Hong Kong theaters last month. Directed by Wilson Ip, starring Donnie Yen, and featuring fight choreography by Sammo Hung, it tells the story of Ip Man, the celebrated Wing Chun grandmaster who taught Bruce Lee.

I've heard some great things about the film, and it's apparently been received so well at the Hong Kong box office, they've already announced plans for a sequel. I'll admit it -- I'm sucker for historical martial arts epics, and the trailer kicks ass, so you know I'll be checking this one out. The question is when... and how?
