Donnie Yen And Nicholas Tse To Reunite In ENTER THE MASTER

Andrew Mack

Good news for those of you counting down the days until a new Donnie Yen project was announced. Yen will be reuniting with Dragon Tiger Gate and Assassins & Bodyguards co-star Nicholas Tse for a new action film called Enter the Master - a title which carries on the action film tradition of entering things like Dragons, Fists, Fat Dragons, Phoenixes, and the 36th Chamber of Shaolin. Always entering.

The action is set in a US 'Chinatown' location and sees Yen as a former martial arts ace who must decide whether or not to come out of hiding when a new immigrant he has befriended puts him in the middle of a war between two triad factions. The newcomer is played by Nicholas TSE 謝霆鋒.

"Donnie and Nicholas have worked well together before, but Enter The Master will take the collaboration a step further by pitting the two directly against each other, both emotionally and physically," said Albert LEE 利雅博, Emperor's CEO.

Older respect and appreciation to you on Matkdmonh to the world of art and I hope to work with you because I loved the cinema

Good, I just can't wait for "The Monkey King." I truly hope that we in the US will get to see this film in IMAX 3D.

Donnie Yen and Nic Tse last time Dragon Tiger Gate was not as good as Donnie Yens usual movies. Nic Tse is not bad but cannot share with Donnie as Donnie is so much better fighter.

Nicholas Tse really is the whole package. I love how he's not shying away from martial arts roles while still flexing his acting muscles. I hear he's a pretty good martial artist in his own right (I think Yuen Woo Ping said that).

Todd Brown

Yeah, I've seen that comment from a few people who have worked with him. He learned purely for the movies but has really bought in and developed into a legitimately good fighter.

Loving how Yen may very well be playing his proper age as a retired martial artist. Yen is going to rule 2013 with Monkey King, Special Identity, Ip Man 3, Ultimate Codebreaker, and Iceman Cometh.

Special Identity and Ultimate Codebreaker happens to be one and the same movie. Ultimate Codebreaker became Special Identity after some drastic changes with the script and choice of actors.

Donnie is going to rule 2013! I am so glad he is expanding globally. I am looking forward to him branching out to more modern roles, too. NEW YORK LOVES U DONNIE! YEAH BABY!

TeamSonnenManAH

WOW , nicholas deserves this chance to shine . Yen vs. Tse ! one last time !

Ana Marie Yen

I love Nicholas. He is really making his mark!

TRD

Yea he definitely is. I've always thought the guy was good. His last few roles opened up a lot of haters' eyes. But some still hate him for some reason lol. Nic and Donnie! And its a modern film!

TRD

Oh yes. Awesome news. I'm a huge fan of Donnie yen! It is so hard to find news on this man. So anytime there are news, I get excited like a lil boy during a Christmas morning opening up presents.
