KUALA LUMPUR: -- Best known for his work on staple kung <deleted> flicks like The Forbidden Kingdom and Fearless, Chinese stuntman Ju Kun, had been in Malaysia since February.

Ju, who was on board the missing Malaysia Airlines MH370 flight, has been working as the co-fight choreographer on The Weinstein Company and Netflix joint project, Marco Polo.

The 35-year-old stunt master, who worked as kung <deleted> star Jet Li's stunt double, had planned a quick trip to Beijing to visit his two sons, aged five and one, as well as to collect work materials for his latest project.

"It was an unfortunate circumstance that this happened," said Brett Chan, Marco Polo's stunt co-ordinator and fight choreographer in an email interview.

"But we all whole-heartedly believe he will come back to us. I hopea he comes back soon ... I miss my dear friend," he added.

The series is scheduled for shooting at the Pinewood Studios in Johor Baru next month.

A joint statement from The Weinstein Company and Netflix stated: "We are deeply saddened by news of the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. Ju Kun, who was on board, was an integral part of our production team and a tremendous talent. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this difficult time."

Marco Polo creator and producer John Fusco said: "Ju Kun is not only a treasure of martial arts talent and knowledge, he is a treasure of a person loved by many. We are all missing him right now and keeping each other strong."

Fusco added that his team will persevere and carry on with the production, in honour of Ju Kun.

"It is a tragic incident beyond our control, but our exceptional martial arts team will continue to work with the same creative energy and ethic that Ju Kun has brought to the group.

"They know it's what he would want at this time. Our stunt team's courage and hearts at this difficult time have brought all of us closer together," he said.

RIP ? I think that is jumping the gun a bit. If the news reports are correct, chances are very high that all the passengers are still alive.

You must be looking at diferent news reports than me

8 days missing? no ransom,

no one claiming reponsibilty of it, if was highjacked.

no sighting of it, In this day and age i seriously doubt u could land a plane that large and no one and no satellite would see it

Not jumping the gun I think.

Looks like it was definitely high jacking.

News coming out today "The communications systems of missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 were deliberately disabled, Malaysia's Prime Minister Najib Razak has said." Via bbc world news.

yes

[SOTIRIOS]

....wonder why they don't release a passenger list....

...reports out of Malaysia stated that the transponders were deliberately turned off....

...and that the plane continued to travel for up to 7 hours.....

...and that it could have landed anywhere from northern Thailand to The Middle East...(going north)...

...and almost to Australia...(going south)....

...so people should begin to ask 2 things:

1) Who was really on that plane....???

2) Was it carrying any 'interesting cargo'.....???

[Patsycat]

There was a passenger list released, when they realised that the Italian and Austrian's stolen passports were being used.
