Yen's movie, a US$5 million production directed by Wilson Yip (葉偉信), is scheduled to start shooting in March in Shanghai and to be released early next year, Yip said Tuesday.

Ip Chun said he would support both productions.

Yip said his movie would focus on Ip Man's time on the mainland and his tensions with China's Japanese invaders in the World War II era.
