Poster Art For Wong Kar Wai's THE GRAND MASTER
In the grand scheme of competing Ip Man bio-pics there was actually a brief period of time when it appeared that Wong Kar Wai's The Grand Master might actually be released before Wilson Yip's Ip Man. There were even preliminary lawsuits between the two projects over proposed titles. But, you know, Wong Kar Wai is Wong Kar Wai which means it could quite possibly be years still before we see his Tony Leung starring version of the story and in the time it's taken for his project to get off the ground there have been two Wilson Yip pictures plus a prequel project from the same producers.
But it does appear to be coming. At least, someone thinks it's close enough to make a poster to try and sell it. And there it is to the left.
Any new Wong Kar Wai is a cause for celebration and his forays into the martial arts world have been rare enough and unusual enough that I have no worries at all that this will bear more than the most cursory similarity to Yip's film. Bring it.
