Wilson and Chan have certainly seen their fair share of theatrical successes over the years since Knights hit theaters, and that should serve them well then they make another return to familiar characters in Shanghai Dawn.
Some moviegoers are no doubt unfamiliar with (or only have hazy memories of) the ten-plus years old Shanghai Noon/Knights property by now.
According to THR, none other than Jared Hess – the director of the 2004 Sundance Film Festival hit Napoleon Dynamite, and the cult comedy hit Nacho Libre – has just been signed on to direct Shanghai Dawn.
Those viewers who do remember seeing the first two installments may turn out to see a third film purely for the sake of nostalgia.
