Martial arts superstar Donnie Yen (Raging Fire, Ip Man 4: The Finale, Big Brother) is heading to the small screen for Outright Loser, Hidden Master, an upcoming series from Peter Ho-sun Chan’s (Comrades, Almost A Love Story, Wu Xia) Changin’ Pictures, a brand new production company that will primarily focus on streaming content.
In the series (Yen’s first since 1995’s Fist of Fury series), Yen will star as an Asian American martial artist who, after noticing that some ordinary folks in Hong Kong are actually kung fu masters, discovers that martial artists have been passing down their lineage through imprinting their memories and martial art skills onto strangers’ bodies (via Deadline). It should be noted that Yen hasn’t done a series since 1995’s Fist of Fury.
Other projects in the works from Changin’ Pictures include The Murderer, which will star Zhang Ziyi (The Grandmaster), with Peter Ho-sun Chan attached as director; as well as The Eye series, a reboot Oxide and Danny Pang’s horror franchise, which will be directed by Thai filmmakers Nattawut Baz Poonpiriya (One For The Road), Parkpoom Wongpoom (Shutter) and Wisit Sasanatieng (Tears Of The Black Tiger
