20 Oct – Martial arts actor Donnie Yen will be working on a new Sino-American co-production, "Noodle Man".
As reported on Twitch Film, the actor will be playing the role of a retired cop from China who opened a noodle shop in New York after resigning from the police force due to the death of his partner.

The movie will be directed by Chen Daming, of "What Women Want" fame.
