Beijing - It is almost official. Retired Taiwanese actress Lin Ching-hsia will make her acting comeback in Hong Kong director Wong Kar Wai's upcoming film on Ip Man, Bruce Lee's celebrated martial arts master.

Wong's production company Jet Tone Films would not confirm it, with its Shanghai representative saying the cast list will be announced only when filming begins, said web portal Sina.com.

But Ip's son Ip Chun this week told a Hunan province TV programme that Lin has agreed to appear in The Great Master, Sina said.
