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.
