Tiger Hu Chen (Man of Tai Chi, Monk Comes Down the Mountain) is joining forces with Danny Chan Kwok Kwun (Shaolin Soccer, Ip Man 3) and Robin Shou (Cyprus Tigers, City War) in Kung Fu Cowboy, an upcoming East-meets-West martial arts action film.

At the the helm is Jonathan Lim (Pali Road), who is also producing, and co-writing with W. Earl Brown (Deadwood).

According to Variety, Kung Fu Cowboy is a Chinese-Western genre mashup featuring a group of displaced Chinese immigrant workers who fought back against growing racial tensions and discrimination after the building of the U.S. railroads in the 1800s.

Production for Kung Fu Cowboy starts in early 2016.
