It looks like Stephen Chow (writer/director/star of Kung Fu Hustle) is putting his Kung Fu Hustle 2 project on ice for a little while at least. Seems Stephen has caught some sort of space fever.
Instead of Kunk Fu Hustle 2, Chow is going to begin production on a space movie. Yeah, you read that right. The good folks over at Film Threat give us this:
Rather than rush into sequelville, writer/director Stephen Chow has announced he’s delaying the start on “Kung Fu Hustle 2” in favor of a flick about outer space. The space adventure is said to have alot of kids and the story centers around “an astronaut who falls in love with a girl in space.”
Are you F*%King kidding me?!?! Oh man this sounds lame lame lame. Strike while the iron is hot man! Get Kung Fu Hustle 2 out! Gaaaa… this sounds like a horrible idea.
Still… to be fair… the concept for Shaolin Soccer sounded stupid too… and that film was freaking amazing. We’ll wait and see… but I’ve got a bad feeling about this.
