From City On Fire:
"As part of the Chinese movie studio Huayi Brother's 'H Plan,' in which they aim to compete directly with Hollywood blockbusters, Tsui Hark will produce a prequel to his successful film Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame. Huayi Brothers President Wang Zhongjun conceded that the Chinese box office is still dominated by Hollywood films due to their “appealing storylines†and expensive special effects.
However, Wang expects the H Plan to lead to a turnaround for Chinese film industry. Tai Chi O director Stephen Fung and Painted Skin 2 direct Wu Ershan will also have new projects for Huayi Brothers in 2013."
I really enjoyed Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame so I'm glad to see Hark's going back to the character. Honestly I'd rather see a sequel than a prequel but whatever.
