Woo also thanked his fans who cares much about his condition. "I am grateful. Now my condition is much better and I will take better care of my self."
Woo was filming his latest project "Sheng Si Lian" before he was found ill. He said the shooting would begin at early 2013.
Woo also revealed that this year he would take the helm of a remake of "Le Samourai" (1967), a classic French crime film by Jean-Pierre Melville, as his come-back work to Hollywood.
Talking about the current Chinese film industry, Woo spoke out his own point of view. "Our industry is developing fast," he said, "But we don't have works that can be called blockbusters. There is still much space for us to improve."
