Sequel
Tsui Hark intended Seven Swords to be a hexalogy, however the prospects for the second instalment have not come to fruition. In 2008, Tsui was known to be still developing the script for the sequel in between production and/or direction of other projects; the actual release and production for the sequel had yet to officially be announced. It is believed that Tsui is completing scripts for both the second and third instalments of the film to complete the hexalogy in successive development and production.
As of 2011, there has been no news of Seven Swords at all, and there is speculation that it would not be completed as planned. The last known news about the film was in its pre-production phase between 2007-2008, yet neither Tsui Hark nor anyone attached to the film made any statement of commitment to the planned hexalogy for about 3-4 years. While unconfirmed, it is believed the film has been stalled or quietly scrapped due to lack of interest in completing the story.
