Hard Boiled 2 is on the way! The bad news, it will be a while coming yet. In a chat with UK film magazine “Empire” the legendary Hong Kong action director confirmed some news on upcoming projects. His next film the war drama “1949” is indeed dead in the water, but he has apparently already decided to take on another (as yet unnamed) Chinese-language epic, on a similar scale to Red Cliff. It's like a Romeo and Juliet love story," he said. "A love story, but with war scenes."

On Hard Boiled 2, Woo has confirmed a spin-off/sequel is still in the works. "I'm involved as producer. We're working on the script and I'm sure it's going be a very interesting movie, but it won't be ready until years from now." Hmmm.....So another epic romance, or a sequel to one of the best hard core HK action movies of the 90’s. We know which we’d rather see next. We all hope you get back to action movies soon Mr Woo.
