HK-star Stephen Chow has stopped acting for the last two decades but has become a successful and noted director with a string of hits under his belt. His Shaolin Soccer was one of the biggest box office Asian movies of all time and now will get a sequel or follow up with an all-female soccer cast. It’s a huge deal not just for being a follow up to SS but also excitement for Stephen coming back with a movie after 5 years. C-actor Wang Yibo was rumored to be lobbying hard for a role in the movie and has indeed been cast as the male lead, though the drama is female lead-centric. The female lead has not been announced and will be a new “Sing Girl”, the way Stephen picks total newbie or unknowns and rockets that rookie actress to stardom in one of his movies. Actual returned soccer player Zhao Lina has also been cast in the movie which is scheduled to start filming next month in August.
