Legend of a Fighter Begins Filming ...

For all of my buzzing about what a great year this is going to be for martial arts films and all my excited ravings about Tom Yum Goong, Unleashed, Sha Po Lang and Seven Swords I keep forgetting about the other major title coming down the line: the Ronnie Yu helmed, Jet Li starring Legend of a Fighter.

Wu Jing is reporting that filming has just gotten under way and it sounds like a fairly lavish production ... Li's already gone on record saying that he wants the martial arts in the film to be true to life and avoid any sort of studio trickery and considering he's both the star and producer what he says pretty much goes ...
