Wu Xia 2011 Chinese Movie





Hong Kong director Peter Chan finished shooting movie Wu Xia, a remake of the 1969 classic martial art movieOne Armed Swordsman directed by Zhang Che. Chan got the idea from the film, but he decided to create a new story which is more bloody and cruel. Yes, it looks exacty like this, to see Donnie in so brutal role wanted a lot of fans, so now they have got a chance to do it with a teaser trailer and on August 3 with a full movie.
The rights to the original movie was acquired by Celestial Pictures and the company had an agreement with Peter’s long-time partner, Teddy Chan. Due to a fall-out earlier, Peter will be flying solo and has decided to do a re-telling of One-Armed Swordsman as Wu Xia. His previous films included romance film Waiting and The Warlords starring Andy Lau, Jet Li and Takeshi Kaneshiro, in 2007.
Yen plays a cruel killer who has become a fugitive. But he undergoes a transformation after he is captured by Takeshi Kaneshiro, who played a similar role in Director Zhang Yimou’s martial arts movie House of Flying Daggers.
The film is the first time Donnie Yen and Takeshi Kaneshiro have cooperated on a movie project, and they are excited about the challenges it offers. Yen is also the fight choreographer. Takeshi got fighting training before the shooting begins.
