What was tentatively titled Beggar Su is now called True Legend but the same legendary martial arts choreographer is still behind this project. Yuen Woo Ping, a man who can kill us all in his sleep, is bringing back the Wuxia in a big way. And now one of the few men I fear in this world has started his own production blog where he will occasionally chime in and share with us his thoughts about production and filming. Head on over to the film's web-site for his first entry. After the break though you will find a gallery with costume designs and conceptual sketches. Be sure to watch the behind the scenes video on the site for a look at the costumes as well. The armor attached to the body is especially impressive. Adds new definition to 'body armor'.

Zhao Wen Zhuo is starring as the eponymous folk hero Su Qi Er. Zhou Xun plays Su Qi-er's wife Yuan Ying, while Michelle Yeoh, who has just finished her part in the film, cameos as a recluse swordswoman Sister Yu, who is Su Qi-er's saviour. In possibly another cameo role, Jay Chow will be joining the production later as a peerless martial arts master who imparts his skills to Su Qi-er.

Beggar Su also marks Yuen Wo Ping's first film as a director in almost a decade and the first time he ever works with Zhao Wen Zhuo. Yuen Wo Ping is also paying tribute to his late father Yuen Siu Tin, who had portrayed Su Qi-er in a few films, through this production.

In the first half of the film, Su Qi Er faces persecution and gets badly beaten up, leaving his right arm maimed while being reduced to begging, undergoing the lowest points and most painful moments in his life. Su Qi-er's romantic interest deserts him while his stout and kind-hearted wife Yuan Ying remains faithfully by his side. Being preoccupied with vengeance, Su Qi Er runs amok while training too hard in martial arts. During this sharp change of his fate, Su Qi-er's personality changes drastically too, providing a good challenge to Zhao Wen Zhuo acting skills.
