It’s an endeavor that has gone for several years now but Chris Nahon’s Lady Bloodfight is finally gearing up for a limited U.S. release from Vertical Entertainment on May 26. The film marks the starring feature debut of actress and stuntwoman Amy Johnston who has all but begun her career ascension into acting and prominently so with several prospects already in tow.
Johnston leads from a script by Bey Logan and Judd Bloch which centers on a young backpacker in Asia whose fighting prowess becomes the central query for a martial arts master looking to train her for a deadly underground tournament. An international cast that includes Jenny Wu, Jet Tranter, Mayling Ng and Muriel Hoffman will also partake in the action-packed line up with fight scenes directed by none other than Hong Kong cinema legend Hung Yan Yan.
Trailers are already circulating while filmgoers in Asia can purchase their DVDs and Blu-Rays through legitimate availability. In the meantime, Vertical’s acquisition will likely oversee an official trailer arriving in the coming months. Stay tuned!
