It is rumored that Tsui Hark's version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" will start filming in 2024-2025

It is rumored that the filming time of Tsui Hark's version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" will be 2024-2025, and the list also includes "Legend of the Gods 2" and "Chasing the Dragon 3". Tsui Hark's version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" is adapted from Jin Yong's martial arts novel of the same name, directed by Tsui Hark and produced by Nansun Shi.

Tsui Hark once said that The Return of the Condor Heroes was the first martial arts novel he read, so it had a profound impact on him. In 1977, when he met Jin Yong through James Wong, the other party suggested that he shoot The Snow Mountain Flying Fox, and he proposed to shoot The Return of the Condor Heroes at that time. Later, Tsui Hark's studio took the lead in shooting the "Swordsman" series, which was actually a "warm-up" for the filming of The Return of the Condor Heroes. But the adaptation of "Swordsman" made Jin Yong very dissatisfied at the time, and even said that Tsui Hark "did not understand martial arts." However, in his later years, Jin Yong changed his mind and gave the copyright of The Return of the Condor Heroes to Tsui Hark.

In June 2018, the news that Tsui Hark's version of The Return of the Condor Heroes was fully launched was released during the Shanghai International Film Festival that year, attracting attention from all parties. Later, a notice of the global recruitment of actors for the The Return of the Condor Heroes crew was circulated, saying that they were looking for "Chinese actors aged 18 to 25 who can speak fluent Mandarin" and "those with skills in martial arts, gymnastics, acrobatics, dance, etc. would be a plus."

The Return of the Condor Heroes is a "gold mine" of martial arts themes, and has been remade into film and television works many times. The 1983 version starring Andy Lau and Idy Chen and the 1995 version starring Louis Koo and Carman Lee are both classics in the minds of martial arts fans. In addition, there is the 1998 version starring Richie Jen and Jacklyn Wu, the 2006 version starring Huang Xiaoming and Liu Yifei, the 2014 version starring Chen Xiao and Michelle Chen...
