Chinese actress Fan Bingbing will head to Hong Kong on Tuesday to join kung fu star Donnie Yen for the sequel of
Sha Po Lang.
Fan revealed that she jokingly suggested she participate in the sequel when she saw Donnie Yen at the Hong Kong Golden Awards in April. To her surprise, the star later took her up on her offer.
Director Wilson Yip will once again work with Donnie Yen to produce the HK$8 million sequel.
Called City With No Mercy, the film was written by Kam Yuen-szeto, the co-writer of Johnnie To's Exiled. It tells the story of two cops in Macao who are struggling to rectify their partnership, which becomes strained after one starts undercover work.
Shooting is set to begin later this month. Louis Koo and Collin Chou will co-star.
