"He has a rebellious and romantic spirit," said Hong Kong director Tsui Hark (徐克) during an interview at the Cannes Film Festival in May. Wu starred in Tsui's movie Time and Tide and the director said he plans to work with Wu again in his next action film.

Wu will bring his charisma back to Taipei to his old stomping ground @live on July 27. According to his record company, Magic Stone, almost two thirds of the tickets have already sold out. Wu's new album is scheduled to be released in November.
