Stephen Chow Films King of Comedy 2, Eying 2019 Chinese New Year Release
Hong Kong media reports that Stephen Chow currently is filming King of Comedy 2 in mainland China. According to sources familiar with the matter, Stephen Chow’s The Mermaid 2 was previously set to release during 2019 Chinese New Year. However, as the post production of the film is taking much longer than expected, the director decided to make King of Comedy 2 for the Chinese new year season. King of Comedy 2 is a sequel to Stephen Chow’s 1999 comedy film King of Comedy. The sequel stars Wang Baoqiang, who also played major roles in this year’s box office hits Detective Chinatown 2 and The Island.
