Iko Uwais Joins Man of Tai Chi

by kmiller

I’ve slowly become more and more interested in Man of Tai Chi. From the initial development stages, to the cast and camera rig, it looks like Keanu Reeves is taking all of the right steps. Now, it’s been announced that Iko Uwais is working on the film as well.

I’m not sure how big of a role Uwais will play, but it honestly doesn’t matter. He will have even more appeal to both the US and HK audience, and that’s never a bad thing. I cannot wait to see how they use Uwais in a fight, and the combination of action with the camera rig is going to be insane. Plus, can you imagine Yuen Woo Ping’s choreography with  Iko?

Needless to say, I’ve got high hopes for this one.

    interesting and YES!

    I saw the preview of Man of Tai Chi and they introduced a new camer work system that hovers around the fight scene.

    this will be interesting man

    i like Keanu Reeves, his martial arts skills/acting in Matrix was very excellent. He doesn’t even look like someone who is serious about martial arts stuff, but deep inside he is. Reason why he’s making this movie.

    Yeah, I totally agree. I didn’t think Keanu would be that dedicated, but he proved me wrong and I’m completely okay with that.
