This morning , the Man of Tai Chi shoot began in Beijing. First time director, Keanu Reeves is at the helm while Lemore Syvan is serving as the producer. The cast includes Chen Hu (Tiger) in the lead, Karen Mok as a police woman, and Mr. Reeves as the villain.
The film was developed by Reeves in conjunction with screenwriter, Michael Coney. Elliot Davis is director of photography and the stunt coordinator is Yuen Woo-Ping. The film is a reunion of sorts for Reeves, Chen, and Ping who worked together in The Matrix.
The global appeal of martial arts coupled with the box office appeal of Keanu Reeves has resulted in a wide distribution deal for the film before filming even began. Distribution will be handled by China Film Group and Wanda Film Group (China), Village Roadshow Pictures (Singapore, Australia, New Zealand), and Universal Pictures (the rest of the world).
Filming is expected to last into July and will take place in Beijing and Hong Kong.
