Mani Fok to the rescue?
Emperor's super manager Mani Fok and so-called "bomb expert" has been recalled from the US where she was on leave to handle the Charlene Choi-William Chan Wai-Ting (Sa-Ting) affair. The publicity stunt/romance has had unintended effects requiring Mani to come back to handle matters. Since it came to light, the Sa-Ting Love has raised the popularity of William Chan but is not popular with Twins fans. Chan is said to be a playboy and Charlene has been accused of bad taste. Chan is alleged to have had many 'pedal boats', including Gillian Chung causing a secret rift between the singing duo in the past. Mani is said to have had private communications with Chan and the Twins to discuss how to handle events. The Twins are scheduled to hold a concert in Macau in November. (Sina)

I don't know what's a worse idea: remaking The 14 Amazons in the first place or letting Frankie Chan direct it?
After watching one of his flicks for Cherie Chung week, the guy -- at least in the 1980s -- seemed to have graduated from the Ed Wood school of directing.
Still, good luck to Ceci on her comeback.
I don't object to a remake of The 14 Amazons. It's not like the Shaw film was a Citizen Kane. It's an old story that can bear retelling.
However, the choice of Frankie Chan as director is indeed a little troubling. It would be a shame to see such a strong line-up of dramatic actresses not used to their best advantage.
Sounds like there are at least two other version currently in the works. Ronny Yu is directing one of them, or maybe it's a different one. :D
Besides, I gather that the story is epic enough for a lot of different versions.
Dave, Yu So-Chau has played the role too, in the '60s.
re: Frankie Chan
He stepped in after Ronny Yu was canned. Ronny Yu then went on to another production. 9.1.2010
