CJ7 - Stephen Chow's new film...
Here's the trailer - http://sg.video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=1506695
Here's the website - http://www.cj7movie.com (not yet active)
IMDB has a listing for it as well...
I did a search for "chow" and didn't see this already posted, but there's a chance I just missed it. Sorry if this is a repost. Actually, it is a repost because I posted this in International DVD and was told it should be here - meh.
Anyway - I'm really excited about this one and it's supposedly pretty much wrapped up and looks like it should come out sometime in the next 6 months hopefully?
I think people new to Chow will bitch because it's not a soccer or hustle sequel... this looks more like a silly comedy like he used to do. I'm excited.

Wow, I've been hearing about him doing a sci-fi project for what seems like ages now. Good to see it's finally getting finished.

A new trailer is out:

It looks like there's a number of callbacks to his previous films.

I think for some reason there was a cut to this film and it should have been longer. I mean, as hot as Dicky's teacher is, I never saw her once teaching the kid anything. I think it needed a little more backstory (maybe in flashback or something) instead of a couple of lines.
Also, I mentioned this to a friend, I think this was the first I've seen in which Stephen Chow wasn't the main focus. And at times, while I felt for Dicky's situation, he seemed like an ungrateful little punk at other times.
I did like Dicky's dream sequence with CJ7. With homage to Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle.

Yeah the dream sequence was good, I also liked the cockroach sequence. And there was something cool about how torturous the kids were to the CJ7, something Hollywood would never do.
But I have pretty high expectations for Chow, which is why I felt let down.
