Aside from trying to get a Martin Luther King biopic off the ground and keep his name in the hat for any further Blade films, Wesley Snipes is also finding time for a role in what is being described as a cross between Kung Fu Hustle and Meet The Parents. If you haven’t seen both of those films, let’s just say that they don’t seem like obvious companion pieces.

Master Daddy is also set to star a ridiculous roster of fighting stars in cameos and appearances, with Chuck Norris, Sonny Chiba (Kill Bill: Vol. 1), Joe Frazier, Samo Hung, Tony Jaa (Ong-Bak), Dan Inosanto, Simon Rhee, Lee Mosely, Bob Wall, Rampage (The A-Team), Anderson Silva (UFC) and Ron Van Cleef all on board.

The film, pitched as “a multi-racial action comedy” will start filming shortly, with a 2011 release date in mind, although I have a sneaking suspicion this one might go straight to DVD, at least in the UK.

We’ll keep you posted, especially if we get any clips of that lot having a ruck.

Dave has been writing for HeyUGuys since mid-2010 and has found them to be the most intelligent, friendly, erudite and insightful bunch of film fans you could hope to work with. He's gone from ham-fisted attempts at writing the news to interviewing Lawrence Bender, Renny Harlin and Julian Glover, to writing articles about things he loves that people have actually read. He has fairly broad tastes as far as films are concerned, though given the choice he's likely to go for Con Air over Battleship Potemkin most days. He's pretty sure that 2001: A Space Odyssey is the most overrated mess in cinematic history.
