Holy & Dangerous

Although I’m not 100% certain, I believe that TVB actors Roger Kwok and Kenix Kwok have begun filming Fearless for The Media Evangelism, Ltd.

This Fearless has nothing to do with the recent Jet Li movie of the same name. From what I can gather, this Fearless is about a musician, homosexuality, fear, and love, while Jet Li’s Fearless was only about three of those things. I’ll let you figure out which three.

In any case, the Christian Fearless sounds controversial and appears to be a rebuttal to 2005’s Brokeback Mountain. It’ll be interesting to see if ME can pull this off and also produce a quality film. Personally, I like ME films, but not all of them are cinematic masterpieces.

The two leads, however, are quite strong. Kwok and Kwok (no relation) are definitely A-List television actors. In fact, Roger Kwok is a two-time winner of TVB’s Best Actor Award. He recently married longtime girlfriend Cindy Au at Hong Kong’s Disneyland. And as far as I know, he’s not a Christian.

Kenix Kwok, on the other hand, is (allegedly). She’s also as popular as she is skinny, which is to say very. I’m looking forward to seeing her in this Christian production. In the past, I’ve had some trouble tracing the contours of her faith, but it seems that she pretty much considers herself a Christian now. Perhaps I’ll devote a future blog entry to her.

Interestingly, both Kwoks’ families purportedly originated from Zhongshan, Guangdong Province - just like mine. (Woo-hoo! Center Mountain baby! Overthrowing corrupt imperialistic dynasties since 1866!)

Fearless is scheduled to drop in. . . September??? Yikes.

Film, Kwoks! Film! Film like the wind!
