Joy Wang, who plays kung fu master 'Wai' in the upcoming B&E/Voltage
Pictures production 'Lady Bloodsport', recently made the journey from Hong
Kong to New York City to train with famed martial arts maestro Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Shrfu is a former Chinese National Champion in Wu Shu, and has also
starred in a number of mainland produced films and TV series. He is also
the instructor of 'Lady Bloodsport' action director Temur Mamisashvili.

Renaissance woman Wang, who is an accomplished painter, yoga practitioner,
author and actress, was travelling to New York to further her other
artistic pursuits, but made the pilgrimage to Zhang Shrfu's Brooklyn based
school to meet and train with the great man. Our thanks to Master Zhang
Yuan for taking the time to work with Joy, and she looks set to do him
proud when 'Lady Bloodsport' goes into production.

Training for ‘Lady Bloodsport’ has officially kicked off! The cast is training relentlessly with resident action choreographer Temur Mamisashvili leading the team.

Our upcoming female fury flick ‘Lady Bloodsport’ is being co-produced with LA-based Voltage Pictures, whose earlier hits include the Oscar-winning ‘The Hurt Locker’.  The martial arts action drama is set to shoot in China, Hong Kong and Japan and tells the story of two rival martial arts masters who each train a student to compete in a secret underground tournament. Casting is still underway, but the stars will include fan favourite Selina Lo (‘Scorpion King 3’, ‘The Prince And Me 2’) and rising Australia action ace Jet Tranter. Anyone interested in trying out for the film should send their information and contact details to Temur Mamisashvili at xiaotiemo@gmail.com.

Hip hop impresario turned director/producer Damon Dash returns to Asia for a new urban action flick shooting in Hong Kong. ‘God Never Sleeps’ is set over one wild night in the city, with a young musician forced to run from his old life until daybreak, when his new one can begin. The film is being co-produced by Dash’s DDMG172 and Bey Logan’s B&E Productions. Damon has been one of the pioneers in discovering new talent on the Chinese music scene, and is now applying the same entrepreneurial spirit to this cinematic venture. The film still has positions available for cast and crew. If interested, please contact Charles Loi at charles.c.loi@gmail.com.
