New promotional art is making the rounds for Korean-Japan co-production, Knuckle Girl, for Prime Video. Chang (The Target) is directing from a script by Yoo Gap-yeol (Emergency Declaration) and Jeong Byeong-sik (The Villain), based on Jeong Sang-young’s 2014 KakaoPage webtoon of the same name.
Director Chang’s new sci-fi, Reset, is finally readying a U.S. release now set for a same-day China release on June 30. Well Go USA apparently acquired the film much to their intended delight of fans and with prospects now glimmering for what looks to be a strong outing for Jackie Chan as a producer compared to many of his recent starring affairs.
In the near future, scientist Xia Tian (Yang Mi) is on the verge of a major discovery: time travel. After she successfully sends living tissue back in time by 110 minutes, her years of work seem to have paid off, but everything unravels when her young son is kidnapped and held for a hefty ransom – all of her research. When the drop goes sour and her son is killed, Xia Tian desperately sends herself back in time using her prototype, where she discovers multiple versions of her future self. Now, all of the Xia Tians must band together to save their son in this action-packed sci-fi thriller from producer Jackie Chan.
