Any news/buzz about John Woo presents: Stranglehold?

I heard about this game more than a year ago and I know it features Chow Yun Fat reprising his role as Tequila from Hard Boiled. However, I haven't heard any news about this game in a long time. Is this game even still getting released? I read on the XBox 360 site that it's probably coming out in Quarter 1 of this year.

it's always featured in print magazines still, and in motion it actually looks pretty decent. So yeah - as far as I know it's still coming soon.

Has potential, but given that 99.9% of licensed games suck donkey balls, I don't have high hopes for it.

A friend of mine showed me a video of it being demonstrated online. Aside from the fact the person demonstrating didn't have a clue what they were doing, it looks like it could actually be one of the rare good licensed games.

The game is still coming. There have been a few news stories on the main sites like Gamespot, IGN, and Gametrailers.

http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?id=1739 Watch the video called "Leipzig 06 Dev. Demonstration". It shows quite a bit of gameplay. One of the developers is playing it.

The game looks VERY reminiscent of Max Payne, but I guess it probably should since Max Payne was inspired by John Woo movies in the first place.
