Trailer of this almost forgotten movie from Tsui Hark has been put on IMDb. I don't know how it has been there. BLACK MASK 2 - CITY OF MASKS was put in the can more than a year ago and it has yet been released, not even in Hong Kong. Now It will get a straight-to-video treatment by Sony on December 31st. The original BLACK MASK is the last Hong Kong production of Jet Li before he went to the Hollywood. Click here

Yesterday, someone from China Star, the studio produced BLACK MASK II, has reassumed that the movie will be released in Hong Kong and North America simultaneous in February 2002. China Star has decided to speak out after a Hong Kong paper reported Columbia, which had brought the release right for both North America and Europe, would send the movie direct to video. The original North American release time is December, but Columbia has decided to push it back to February. Cost tens millions US dollars, the film is directed by Tsui Hark and choreographed by Yuen Wo-Ping. Newcomer Andy On has replaced Jet Li as the Black Mask. Currently the film is under post-production in the US and many CG jobs are yet to complete. China Star has also denied the report of that Miramax has given up THE LEGEND OF ZU and said the release plan was not changed.
