Chow Yun-Fat will star in the gritty action thriller "Deadly Deception." James Fargo, veteran director of such Clint Eastwood films as "The Enforcer" and "Every Which Way But Loose," wrote the script and will also direct reports Production Weekly.
The film follows Philip Chase (Yun-Fat), a highly skilled Hong Kong detective who travels to Los Angeles to solve his sister's murder. Phillip matches wits and trades punches with the greedy, devious Jonathan Beardsley (John Leguizamo), who is the mastermind behind a conspiracy much larger than Philip can fathom. Roselyn Sanchez ("Rush Hour 2") plays a tough Los Angeles Police officer who teams up with Chase. "Deadly Deception" is budgeted at $20 million and will begin shooting mid-May in Hong Kong, Argentina and Los Angeles.
He will also play the lead in Andrew Goth's "The Wretched," an original fusion of gothic western and classic horror. Yun-Fat plays Rellik, a bounty hunter of zombies. He introduces his apprentice, Twenty-One, to a dangerous world where zombie outlaws roam the earth, avoiding capture and incarceration in the prisoner catacombs for the Undead. When a wagon train of misguided travelers stumble upon the Monastery and unwittingly release the Undead locked within, Rellik and Twenty-One find themselves facing a jailbreak like no other. Production is scheduled to begin on location in New Mexico this June.
Thanks to 'Scott'.
