Hong Kong comedian Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu Hustle" reportedly grossed more than USD $70 million in Asia.

Stephen is making preparations for a "Kung Fu Hustle 2" sequel. If talks with Columbia Pictures go well, shooting should start by the end of the year, with the majority of the shoot taking place in Shaghai.

"Kung Fu" will premiere in Los Angeles and New York on April 8th and Stephen will be there in the States himself to promote the film on the 22nd.

According to Taiwan media, a Columbia Pictures exec gave Stephen a big red envelope with more than USD $2.5 million when he was in the States earlier this year. But the Columbia Pictures office in Taiwan doesn't know if Stephen took the bonus or not.
