Thank you and you’re welcome.

After learning Kung Fu in The Matrix, Keanu Reeves has directed his very own Kung Fu movie starring a mostly Chinese cast entitled Man of Tai Chi. This is Reeve’s first directorial effort but he seems greatly aided by choreographer Woo-ping Yuen of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, The Matrix trilogy and the two Kill Bills.

Talking about the film, Reeves said:

 “It’s an English-Chinese Kung Fu movie and it’s basically about a young man who gets involved in underground fighting to save his temple and whether or not he loses his soul.”

I simply cannot imagine this being anything but a steaming pile of you know what with lots of spinning, kicking, wire-work and punching but feel free to check out the trailer for yourself.
