Surely having become bored of making action moves, legendary director John Woo has told attendees at a Beijing charity dinner that he hopes to create a sports movie.

"I want real athletes to be my lead actors so that we can portray the athlete’s spirit accurately," he said, though he wouldn’t offer any further details.

However, that sports movie might be far off in the future as Woo’s current schedule is highly packed. He is currently working on a Red Cliff sequel, Chinese Revolution epic 1949, and Caliber, a graphic novel adaptation with Johnny Depp.
