24 Jun - Stephen Chow recently celebrated his 64th birthday by announcing that his upcoming film, "Shaolin Women's Soccer" will be released in July.

The news was shared by the comedy auteur on 22 June via a short video of him working on the post-production of the movie.

In the video, Stephen has his back to the camera, and when asked when the film will be released, he says, "I'm trying my best to make it to 10 July." When asked what he would do if he couldn't make it, Stephen replied, "Then 17 July!" If it can't be released in either of those days, he says, "I'll make it someday!"

Stephen also uploaded a hand-drawn "concept poster" to his Instagram story, maintaining his signature "nonsensical" style.

"Shaolin Women's Soccer" stars Zhang Xiaofei, with supporting roles by Dilraba Dilmurat, Lay Zhang, Sisley Choi, former national women's soccer players Zhao Lina and Li Jiayue, and a cameo appearance by South Korean actor Song Kang-ho as a referee.

The film tells the story of the grassroots women's soccer team led by captain "Shuangshuang" (played by Zhang Xiaofei). Through a series of coincidences, they incorporate traditional kung fu techniques into their soccer training, transforming themselves from an underdog amateur team into a contender for the AFC Women's Champions League. Their journey of resilience, teamwork and self-belief unfolds through Stephen Chow's cinematic style of action, comedy and imagination.

The movie will be distributed by Singapore-based Encore Films.
The movie is a spinoff of his hit 2001 directorial, 'Shaolin Soccer'
