A few years back, Keanu Reeves announced his intentions to make a new martial arts movie starring Chen Hu. Although we’ve heard little since, it now looks like the project is going ahead with Reeves himself stumping up the cash. Currently entitled ‘Tai Chi Tiger’ (ugh!), shooting is set to get underway this April.
Very little is known about the plot at present, although it seems that Hu will be playing some sort of kung fu master. When it was originally announced, Reeves also said there was a possiblity he may appear in the film but he would prefer to portray the villain rather than a hero.
