Bernice Liu stars in new Hollywood Movie "The King of Fighters" alongside Maggie Q

Eve · Nov 23, 2008

I have trouble picturing Bernice as the "female fighter" type but best of luck to her if breaking into Hollywood is her dream. The pose and costume seems very Lara Croft and it can't be easy to fight with that long braid getting in the way all the time.

Recently, TVB Fadans has been entering the film industry, like Kate Tsui just became the new movie star favorite, Bernice also been chosen to participate in a Hollywood movie, she will be collaborating with Maggie Q as female fighters. This will make Bernice the first TVB Fadan to be a Hollywood movie star.

Working in Hollywood is an artiste's dream. For many years, several Asian artistes have successfully made it into Hollywood and made a famous name there. Artistes like Chow Yun Fat, Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh, Zhang ZiYi, Maggie Cheung and etc. Recent years, Isabella Leong and Gillian Chung also experienced working in Hollywood. Now, TVB released one of their Fadans, Bernice Liu to "investigate" on accepting a western movie called "The King of Fighters".

For many years, Bernice has always hoped to get a female fighter role, as in the new movie she'll be one female fighter, opposite of Maggie Q. It appears that Chris Evans from "The Fantastic Four" will also be part of this film. The filming started yesterday in Canada, because of the timing, the filming schedule was delayed for 2 months, causing Bernice's schedule to be a bit difficult. Because she didn't want to lose this great opportunity, so she was forced to reject advertisement jobs. This time of year is artistes' golden time period where many jobs for Christmas and New Years are offered, Bernice also had to reject those. Her new series "The Grand Entrepreneurs" (金錢誘罪) also needed some adjustments. It is estimated that she lost 7 figures of earnings because of this film, it is seen that she really wants to be part of this new movie.

As for TVB Executive Virgina Lok is fully supporting Bernice in entering the Hollywood industry, she laughs: "The movie has been discussed for half a year, Bernice knows that she will be a female fighter, she has been working hard with TVB in practicing Kung Fu moves. On the set, she also arrives earlier than other cast members, hopefully she'll adapt to the new environment. She called me a few days ago and reported the situation to me, she said the crew is very professional! She has not complained once on how difficult it is! (Is the salary good?) It's decent, most importantly this is a good opportunity, money is not an issue. TVB will fully support her." As for the director of the new movie Chan Ka, reporters have not been able to contact.

Well, kind of:

Seems filming has already begun in Canada, and the movie will star Maggie Q, Sean Faris, Will Yun Lee and Darth Maul himself, Ray Park. Those guys all have movie martial arts experience, that's the good news.
The bad news is this:
It also looks like the King of Fighters movie will introduce a new science fiction spin into the setting established in the games’ universe by following the surviving members of three legendary fighting clans who are continually whisked away to other dimensions by an evil power. As the fighters enter each new world they battle that universe’s native defenders, while the force that brought them seeks to find a way to invade and infect our world.

It's like Hollywood want to systematically destroy all my childhood memories. DBZ, Street Fighter (the new one with Kristin Kreuk as Chun Li) and KoF -dead
