Red-faced General Guan Yu is to be the subject of three films this year. In March, it's reported that Donnie Yen will play Guan Yu to Zhang Hanyu's Cao Cao, to be directed by Alan Mak and Felix Chong. In another film, popular mainland actor Sun Honglei will play the general in the Tian Zhuangzhuang helmed version.

    re: Guan Yu movies. I vote for the Donnie Yen/Zhang Hanyu/Infernal Affairs guys version. Just cause the cinematography will be better & Zhang Hanyu rocks. Hope Donnie Yen doesn't ruin it.

    I have to agree. Though I'd like to see Sun Honglei, too, but Tian Zhuangzhuang seems to have lost his directorial touch, particularly after The Warrior and The Wolf.
