Expected release date: Oct 2009
Let's hope that we'll get to see it on the big screen like we got to see the first when that one came out 10 years ago! By the way, Shu Qi is not returning.

Hong Kong-China co-production "The Storm Warriors" has received a production permit from China's State Administration of Radio, Film and Television after a three-month wait.
It is one of the first films to do so since the loosening of censorship guidelines in early March, as the film's script contains a good deal of violence. The film will be shot entirely in Thailand against bluescreen, and could not begin shooting until SARFT gave it the go-ahead.
The film stars Aaron Kwok, Ekin Cheng, Simon Yam, Nicholes Tse and Charlene Choi and is directed by Danny Pang.
The film is based on Ma Wing Shing's popular Hong Kong comic book "Fung Wan". It was originally entitled "Storm Riders II" before the rename to "The Storm Warriors". It is sequel to the original "Storm Riders" directed by Andrew Lau and released in 1998, also starring Kwok and Cheng.
Set for release at the end of 2009, the film has a reported budget of US$12 million.
