Previously, there were many Americans internet users who think that Wang Lee Hom, who is very much more fluent in English, is a better choice to act in The Green Hornet than Jay Chou is. Regarding this, Wang Lee Hom stated that he didn’t think it was regrettable, it turns out that he had a plan of his own, he intends to learn from Matt Damon who acts and writes his movie, and has silently stepped into the industry of movie production. Filming would start in somewhere around November, and he needs probably around 20 million as an investment. Ang Lee advised him, “Don’t invest with your own money.”
Wang Lee Hom has been called the King of Composers, MV Director, but it wasn’t enough. After acting in Lust, Caution, his composing spirit had stretched to the movies. Acting in Jackie’s Chan movie Junior Soldiers has inspired him a lot, “Watching Jackie acting, directing and doing all the cutting and pasting, I realized there’s actually many things that could be done.” He started writing his script in February, and it is half completed now, he expressed that he would look for a director whom he admires a lot to work with. He had already gotten the money for investment now, and he hoped that the movie would be ready by next year.
Wang Lee Hom also mentioned that his good friend, David Tao, has wishes to film a movie as well. He has been preparing it for near 3 years, but has yet to start on it, “My actions are faster than him!” Wang Lee Hom said that while Ang Lee is the academic type; people surrounding him are all PHD holders with in depth studies of theories, the filming emphasizes on perfection in every little detail, Jackie Chan could both act and direct, and is capable of all sorts of stunts and his directing is as the circumstances calls for. The two extreme styles have allowed him to learn the brilliance of the work behind the screen.
