Cannes Gives Us The First Poster And Plot Synopsis For THE PROSECUTOR
The Cannes Film Festival officially kicks off today and it’s already delivered it’s first gem in the form of the first official poster and plot synopsis for the upcoming Donnie Yen vehicle, THE PROSECUTOR.
Not only is Donnie the lead in this one; he’s directing and producing too, according to Cannes promo material. It seems Donnie’s getting more and more comfortable in the director’s chair after also directing last year’s Sakra. Edmong Wong – writer of the entire Ip Man franchise – serves as writer.
Action fans will rejoice in hearing that both Donnie and Kenji Tanigaki are in charge of the action. Tanigaki’s particularly busy these days after recently working on one of the most ancititpated action films of 2024, Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In, and then moving into the director’s chair for his upcoming film, The Furious.
Check out the poster and plot synopsis for The Prosecutor below!
Inspired by a true story in Hong Kong. A youg man wrongfully charged with drug trafficking pleads guilty under undue influence from his defence lawyer, letting the actual convict escape from penalty. Fok (Donnie Yen), an unconvential prosecutor assigned to the case, firmly believes that the case is full of doubts and decides to conduct a private investigation for the young man. Fok risks his life and career to uncover the truth and bring the real culprit to justice.
