Tony Leung's surgery causes further delays in 'Grand Master'
Source: Channel New Asia

HONG KONG: Hong Kong actor Tony Leung is preparing to undergo surgery after doctors found that his old arm injury was not healing properly.

The 47-year-old actor broke a bone in his left arm in an accident during a martial arts practice session for martial arts film "The Grand Master" in July last year.

Leung's surgery will delay shooting of "The Grand Master" yet again.

"The Grand Master", Hong Kong director Wong Kar Wai's film about Bruce Lee's martial arts teacher Ip Man, has been beset by a whole host of complications since its inception in 2002.

In 2004, Leung, who plays Ip Man, was slated to begin martial arts training for his role in the film. However, Leung suffered a ski injury and had to rest for six months, causing filming for "The Grand Master" to be pushed back.

In 2006, Wong became busy with "My Blueberry Nights" while Leung had no time to do "The Grand Master" as he was involved in "Lust, Caution" and "Red Cliff", leading to further delays.

Over the past few months, Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi, who plays the female lead in the film, became embroiled in a number of high-profile scandals. This forced the production team to spend time adjusting Zhang's involvement in the film.

After finally getting a permit from the provincial government to shoot in Guangdong, China, filming was recently delayed again by exceptionally bad weather.

Plagued by mishaps and delays, Wong was beaten to the punch by Hong Kong producer Raymond Wong, who released the similarly themed film "Ip Man" in 2008. Following the box office success of the first film, the sequel "Ip Man 2" will be released later this year, while Wong continues to struggle to complete "The Grand Master".

Thank you sparkles-n15 and Info !

Glad to hear that Tony is fine - after all !!

WKW´s Team and Tony have so much experience and have already shown their perseverence, persistence and patience in realizing their projects - though difficult circumstances.
The best results often need some more time to increase.... - so let´s hope the best for this "Dreamteam" further on - and be patient (what else can we do ? hahaha)

Helga

Thanks Info
for the precisation. I worried for a moment.
About WKW and Tony's IpMan, who cares what other production will be released? They have a special way of filming, unique, so it doesn't matter. They will never play in the same league,...................
Bye, send a kiss to Tony
