A heavy wave of popular Korean film actors and actresses is hitting the Hong
Kong entertainment industry, prompting even Stephen Chow to start searching for
a Korean actress to play a role in his sequel to the wildly popular release
"Kungfu Hustle."

Recently many popular
Korean actresses have publicly expressed their desire to work with Chow. Chow
has also expressed his admiration for Korean artists and culture.
Chow has fanatically binged on Korean movies and television series, and even
has a preference for Korean video games.
He has sent a horde of talent agents out to recruit rising Korean actresses
as fresh faces for "Kungfu Hustle 2."
When questioned about this, Chow said: "At this point in time I can only say
that the caliber of Korean artists is very high. Will we work together We can
talk about that once it really happens."
The setting for "Kungfu Hustle 2" will parallel the original's simplistic
style as it seeks to create a Shaolin-infused cinematic world that will be a new
visual experience for audiences.
