Stephen Chow’s Alien Lovin’
The Star (via) reports that, as well as a sequel to the spectacular Kung Fu Hustle, Stephen Chow is also working on a US$20 million (€6.6 million) science fiction film.
Chow had said earlier that filming on the “Kung Fu Hustle'’ sequel would start in either late 2005 or early 2006.
But Hong Kong’s Apple Daily newspaper reported that Chow may shelve the project and tackle a sci-fi film about a relationship between an astronaut and an alien.
“Apart from ‘Kung Fu Hustle,’ I’m indeed also working on a sci-fi movie. I haven’t decided which one to film first, but it isn’t very appropriate to reveal details now. I’ll wait until the time is riper,'’ the newspaper quoted Chow as saying.
However, the Apple Daily also said Chow isn’t fond of sequels because he thinks they limit creativity.
Apparently, he’s already found American investors for the science fiction film and was in the US, ahead of the Golden Globe awards to work out the details with his backers.
