Korean actress Song HyeGyo is confirmed to take part in the upcoming Hong Kong film director Wong Kar-wai movie titled “The Grand Master” (tentative title).

On Dec 21, according to Chinese portal site Sina, the pretty actress has confirmed her participation in the movie.

The movie is about biography of Ip Man, the renowned martial artist who famously trained the teenage Bruce Lee (via slashfilm). Besides Song HyeGyo, top stars like Tony Leung and Zhang Ziyi are doing the movie as well.

In addition, Song HyeGyo is scheduled to start the shooting early next year.

DISCUSSION: What is your favourite WKW movie? When I found out WKW was going to do a movie about Ip Man, I'm all.. WHAAAAAAT. But I think it'll be interesting to see how it turns out.

Whoa, I'm excited :D (yay good news today?)

I've always loved SHK and Zhang Ziyi (after I read about her dedication to her roles) and I'm super happy that SHK's going to be in a Chinese movie! :D :D :D

Admittedly I haven't seen any WKW directed movies before, but dayum I'm going to watch this >D

Starring with Tony Leung is gold. A++++ for that being in a Wong Kar-Wai movie. If I was an actress that would actually be my aim tbh.

Favourite?

The music is truly intoxicating. Favourite part too. That stair is so iconic in their story. Makes me want to rewatch the movie. Every sequence is like a frame. My eyes will ever be thankful to Wong Kar-wai for that movie.

I remember getting out of the cinema theater and being all "*______________________*". And a few days later, when the all first shock started to wave a little, I went directly to a story to search a dress like that. Maggie is usually mesmerizing but in that movie it's taken to another level.

IA ABOUT TONY LEUNG. One of the best actor EVER.

I dunno why but when i first read 'Actress Song HyeGo" ... my mind automatically registered 'Actress Song HyeGyo was found dead afew hours ago' :(

Just too many bad news

Wow. I thought WKW only chose people who could ACT.

I watched Happy Together, which was funny in some parts, but mostly I didn't really get it. I watched The Hand, just a short film, I preferred that one, it had a plot.

I guess this is just a fad thing too then... it's frustrating that in movie-making so many resources are wasted because directors choose what's fashionable rather than what's good. And a lot of worthier candidates get passed over.

I don't really take note of the director of movies. So yeah. But i'm quite curious about how the whole speaking in Chinese thing will work out. Unless I'm horribly wrong about this?

SO EXCITED, OMG. I just rewatched Full House and fell in love with Song HyeGyo all over again.
My Blueberry Nights was my first WKW movie (blasphemous, I know), so it holds a special place in my heart. ♥ Perhaps that's why I don't get the hate it gets, but it honestly was so beautifully filmed and the cast was superb, what's there to hate?

I probably won't understand where you're coming from until I watch more of his movies. I've seen In the Mood for Love (which left me seriously confused at the end), but I've yet to watch Chungking! My best friend, a die-hard WKW fan, lent me the movie, but haven't gotten around to it. Must get on that. :x

OMG yes!! One of my favorites, along with Chungking Express and Happy Together. None of his more recent films have grabbed me as much as his older ones... :(

Congrats to her
I like her as a person but think she's a mediocre actress, but I haven't watched Coffee Prince and I'm assuming that's her best role yet?

"2046" was my first Wong Kar Wai film and I still love it. I still haven't gotten around to watching "In the Mood For Love" I've heard it's really good though

Thanks I'm obviously getting her confused with Yoon Eun Hye
Can you recommend some of her work then?

Is Full House her?

Yay congrats girl! WKW is my favorite director (LOL I even love the CFs he has directed), out of all his works I think I probably love love 'In the Mood for Love' most though.

Good for her! I'm sure this movie will get shown at Cannes, so girlfriend has the French Riviera to look forward to next year :D

My top WKW films are Chungking, Happy Together, In the Mood for Love, and Fallen Angels. Fallen Angels in particular really grabbed me the first time I saw it. It's just so wonderfully shot! I haven't been as moved by his recent work... I actually fell asleep at some point during 2046. I was mortified that I'd done that, so I re-watched it, but I didn't feel that it was of the same caliber as his older body of work.
