Asian Cinema site MonkeyPeaches.com reports some good news and some bad: The good news is that there will be a Kung Fu Hustle sequel some time in the future. The bad news is that writer/director Stephen Chow has put Hustle 2 on the back burner for the time being so he can work on a movie that involves kids and rockets.

Says MonkeyPeaches: " During a promotional event yesterday in Shanghai, Stephen Chow said he would postpone the production of Kung Fu Hustle sequel to have more time to polish the story and he would do another project first. This untitled project will involve a lot of kid actors and according to an earlier report, Chow will play an astronaut somehow falls in love with a girl in space. Casting and location scouting have already began for the new project. No further details have been given."
