Kim Hee Sun to work with Jackie Chan again after 18 years “Friendship appearance in ‘The Myth 2′”
Actress Kim Hee Sun will work with Chinese action star Jackie Chan again in the movie “The Myth 2” after 18 years.
According to the film industry on August 29th, Kim Hee Sun recently filmed “The Myth 2” in Korea. It is rumored that Kim Hee Sun made a friendship appearance in “The Myth 2” at the request of director Stanley Tong and Jackie Chan.
On August 22nd, director Stanley Tong participated as a speaker at the 2023 East Asia Future Forum hosted by E-Daily TV and the East Asia Culture Center and said, “I plan to meet Kim Hee Sun to film a movie.” According to the report, director Stanley Tong and Jackie Chan asked Kim Hee Sun to appear before they began filming “The Myth 2”, and the production team first came to Korea to prepare for it. Director Stanley Tong reportedly met Kim Hee Sun while visiting Korea to attend the East Asia Future Forum and proceeded with the filming in great haste.
“The Myth 2” is a sequel to “The Myth”, which was released in 2005. Archeologist Jack keeps having reoccurring dreams of a past life, where he is the great General Meng who has sworn to protect a Korean Princess named Ok Soo. When his old friend William returns to his life telling scientific tales of a levitating Holy man in India, they decide to go investigating Indiana Jones style. However, when Lee stumbles on (more like almost gets crusted by) a tomb revealing a painting of the Princess from his dream, he begins unraveling the true connection between his past life and his current. Jackie Chan played Jack, Kim Hee Sun played Ok Soo and Tony Leung Ka-fai played William. At that time, “The Myth” earned $120 million (about 158.8 billion won) worldwide, imprinting Kim Hee Sun on fans around the world. Kim Hee Sun became close friends with Jackie Chan through this movie.
“The Myth” 2, which will be produced 18 years after the release of “The Myth”, is a masterpiece that costs $50 million (about 66.7 billion won). Following the prequel, Jackie Chan will play archeologist Jack.
As Kim Hee Sun makes a friendship appearance in “The Myth 2”, attention is focused on what kind of connection her character will have with “The Myth”.
