Action quasi-historical / biographical film series Hong Kong Ip Man is about to get what should be considered the most likely to support stars. This is because it is being reported that the notorious boxing legend Mike Tyson will join the cast of the upcoming third film in the series with stars Donnie Yen. However, peculiar as it sounds, the casting gets even weirder only. Apparently, Tyson and the yen will join a third wheel that has transcended this mortal coil in Bruce Lee. Yes, that Bruce Lee. But at the same time ... no.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ip Man producer Raymond Wong series confirms that former boxing champion Mike Tyson will jump aboard the next Ip Man 3 for an "important role" that would probably lead to an "explosive" fight between Tyson and Donnie Yen to face the discipline of boxing against kung-fu. However, the film will also be honored by one of the alumni of real life Ip Man in the late, great Bruce Lee ... through digital magic on screen that shows the image of the iconic martial artist, what It lets go back in a way never before conceived.
Mike Tyson involvement with the project began a strangely fortuitous way when boxing great opened an account at a Chinese blog site called Weibo, and posted messages asking about the best fighters in China. The name Donnie Yen would come very soon, and these threads would capture the attention of Raymond Wong - who contacted Tyson and launched the idea of Ip Man 3 will be bites in an epic battle on the screen styles with Donnie Yen . The idea seemed to gel with face tattoo-wielding thug, and has taken the role. In fact, Tyson has expressed his enthusiasm in a statement saying: "Wait, I come Thank you for introducing me to Chinese kung fu.."
The clash of styles is not really something new to the film franchise. In fact, Ip Man 2, 2010 had its own proverbial moment "Apollo Creed / Ivan Drago" when former rival of Ip Man, Hung Chun-nam (former star of TV Martial Law, Sammo Hung), steps into the ring with British boxer (Darren Shahlavi) that disgraced Chinese culture and kung-fu. Sadly, he is killed in the ring by the boxer. Ip Man challenges him to a similar, interdisciplinary fight in the ring that becomes intense, amazing Donnybrook devastating. Now, imagine that this fight with Mike Tyson instead of the old period, Marquess of Queensberry McGee, and you can see what the possibilities are intriguing.
Bruce Lee
As for other notable addition of new threequel, it is unknown how much of a role in digital-Bruce Lee have risen in the film. At the end of Ip Man 2, whose plot unfolds in the 1950s, a child learn is a young Bruce Lee, inspired by the style of Wing Chun Ip Man, it looks, asking to be taught how to deal with people who dislikes. He was told to return when she is older, teasing clearly the third film. However, quick cameos are one thing, but it's hard to imagine a digital manufacturing (even if Bruce Lee), which plays a central role in the film. It might be a little sacrilegious to take the paper too far.
Regardless, Ip Man 3 with Mike Tyson and digital Bruce Lee is set to release in 3D sometime in the first quarter of 2016. At least, it will be a Tyson fight that Don King did not get a piece.
