Hong Kong action star Donnie Yen will appear alongside actress Cecilia Cheung in a Hong Kong adaptation of 2005 Hollywood action thriller “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” titled “Assassin Couple”, reported Hong Kong media.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The New Asia Entertainment Group (AEG) announced yesterday that this adaptation will feature a completely different storyline from “Mr. and Mrs. Smith”, <\/strong>though there are still some similarities.<\/p>\n

The film will see Yen and Cheung play a couple skilled in martial arts and gunplay who try to deal with the love-hate relationship they share at home, even as they go about their lives as professional killers.<\/p>\n

Although Yen and Cheung had both previously said they would like to take a break from film to spend time with their families, the fat pay cheque AEG waved before them had apparently changed their minds. <\/strong><\/p>\n

AEG said that Yen will take home 30 million yuan (S$5.6 million) for accepting the role while Cheung ‘s pay cheque is valued at 15 million yuan (S$2.8 million).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Their combined fees took up almost half the film’s 100 million yuan (S$18.7 million) budget.<\/p>\n

Filming for “Assassin Couple” is scheduled to begin in March next year. <\/p>\n
