New Poster For SWITCH

Filmsmash has a new poster for the upcoming June 12, 2013 China 3D release of director Jay Sun’s espionage action thriller, Switch. The film underwent some scruitiny since its postponed October 2012 release, between Chinese censors citing missing music, breach of national security, and extra post VFX editing on behalf of the film’s lead actor, Andy Lau.

The film is one of China’s most expensive productions, rounding at 160 million RMB, and was a collaborative effort between collaboration of four major studios and was shot between six countries, with the help of VFX editor Chuck Comisky whose previous credits include Jaws 3-D, The Crow, Blade and James Cameron’s epic sci-fi adventure, Avatar. Switch also stars Zhang Jingchu, Lin Chi-ling and Tong Dawei. Veteran stunt coordinator Bob Brown was also on set designing the action sequences for the film, telling the press “For this film, the director gave me a huge space to play, allowing me to join the Chinese and American team together, this is very beneficial to the film.”
