edison-chen-new-movie Edison Chen is Back with a New Movie

Only 2 months after news of the Edison Chen and Gillian Chung naughty pic scandal hit the Internet, Edison has now confirmed he lied when he said he would be retiring from the entertainment industry. HG received information Edison had met with executives in California to work for Hollywood, since Hong Kong felt so betrayed by his escapades.

Edison Chen will appear in a movie opposite Shu Qi, a Singapore newspaper, reported today. The movie is a collaboration between a Singapore company and an independent American production house.

Filming will take place in both Singapore and Chicago, and $13.8 million has already been secured for the film’s budget according to reports from Lianhe Wanbao. Shu Qi will play a woman who meets an American student, played by Edison, who is working in Singapore.

Edison’s agent has disclosed that the actor is going to start shooting this summer, according to China Daily, citing news agencies.

As HG reported previously, Edison’s plan was to simply transition from Hong Kong star, to international star, which lends more credibility to information we received that Edison leaked the naughty pictures himself to boost his career to International status.

    I don’t think Eddie lied about retiring from the entertainment industry. In his statements from over a month ago, I recalled he said, “I am retiring from the HONG KONG ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY indefinitely.” He ain’t in HK now, that’s for sure.

    But I think he did lie when describing what he was going to do after leaving HK…and I believe it was something along the lines of public service and charity. NOPE! Not at all apparently!

    -D

    Thank goodness. I thought he was out of the entertainment industry for good. I’m hoping he’ll be able to break out of the Asian male actor stereotype. I liked his role in Initial D.
