Sammo Hung, Wu Jing and Wilson Yip do the Toronto Fest!

[Brian Thibodeau]

Woo-hoo!

I'm generally averse to star-gazing, but when they're showing up to a screening that I'm going to be at anyways, it's like a nice bonus!

The movie is SPL (SHA PO LIANG) and it premieres tomorrow night (Sept 16) at midnight. Judging from that trailer linked in another thread here, this could be a real crowd pleaser. I'd say I'm disappointed that Donnie Yen isn't there, but these three will be more than enough!

I've also got tickets to the gala premiere of THE MYTH, and would be even happier if "certain stars" from that one were to make an appearance.

Here's the notice I received from Midnight Madness planner Colin Geddes

-----------------

Hi All,

Sorry I am so late in getting this info out but I have been plagued by email troubles all summer. This year a the Toronto International Film Festival, I am pleased to present the World Premiere of a brand new Hong Kong martial arts action film starring Donnie Yen and Sammo Hung! And we will have Sammo Hung and newcomer Wu Jing (who studied under the same teachers as Jet Li, live in attendance at the screening!

Hope to see you at Midnight!

Colin Geddes
