I'm grateful to my friends at Sony, who have shown so much faith in me for so many years. I'm looking forward to working with Seth, Evan, Neal, and the team at Sony, and I'm eager to get started."
Thats right! This will be his American movie debut. Awesome! Chow is the perfect man for the job, I honestly think that there is no other better director for the task. this movie is going to be a huge hit!
