The film is set to screen this Friday and for the last three days of the festival at the Scotiabank theater and stands as one of several titles I hope to learn more about with fellow contributor Alex Chung on hand to screen at least a few if not a nifty handful.
Jiang Wen’s HIDDEN MAN: Bullets And High Wire Acts Over China In The Newest Trailer
With most of the specific plot details off the radar for Jiang Wen’s martial arts-infused spy pic, Hidden Man, its interesting trying to look up certain bits of China’s 20th century history. What we do know, however, is that it’s got a revenge twist that culminates a trilogy following Wen’s previous Gone With The Bullets and its 2010 predecessor Let The Bullets Fly.
Alas, we now tackle the third entry as it’s loosely based on a novel written by Zhang Beihai. Wen himself is front and center for the cast with actors Eddie Peng, Liao Fan, and actress Zhou Yun and Summer Xu. A July 13 release hails from Gravity Pictures while later market news should see what becomes of its rollout following Warner Bros.’s co-production attachment to the film earlier this week.
A new teaser is out as well and while it looks a bit more narrative rustic than the others, it bodes just as well for Wen’s filmmaking energy and style with a handful of rounds to spare. Check it out below!

The film itself has been a long time coming and available headlines indicates a casting change which should make this a bit more intriguing. Take a look!

WUKONG: Eddie Peng Pulls Out Something Big And Nasty From His Ear In The New Teaser Trailer
You don’t need to look too hard to see how much has amassed in film and TV over the legendary “Journey To The West” story and its foremost character, Sun Wukong. The last several years have shown ample box office success in adapting the character, something that director Derek Kwok is now keen on with Wukong, inspired by pen-named author Jin Zehai’s 2000 novel.
Wukong, born in Huaguo Mountain, has a heart of stone. Ji Hua, a powerful general from the heaven was going to terminate him. But Wukong was rescued by Bodhi and became his pupil. Jian Yang, was given an opportunity to become a strong god, but he needs to kill Zixia, the daughter of the Heaven Emperor’s rival, who he is in love with. Tianpeng, Ji Hua’s bodyguard, was given the secret order to investigate Wukong. All three of them entered the Heaven school together, and their lives are about to change.
Whether it passes muster remains to be seen upon its July 13 release, but the film is back to make its case accordingly with a new teaser trailer featuring Eddie Peng, in character, and laying waste with a big stick as any hero should. And you know what they say about folkloric monkeys of legend with big sticks… ehh, nevermind.
Shawn Yue and actresses Ni Ni and Zheng Shuang with Oho Ou, Qiao Shan, Faye Yu and Di Yang also star. Watch the new teaser trailer now!

Derek Kwok’s WU KONG Sees Eddie Peng Speaking Softly And Carrying A Big Stick In The First Teaser
It’s been over a year since intial news broke on the production Derek Kwok’s latest, Wu Kong. Kwok’s previous work with Stephen Chow on the 2013 hit, Journey To The West: Conquering The Demons, surely makes him a well suited pick to sit in the director’s chair in this particular category of folklore, adding to the freshness even further with actor Eddie Peng given his revitalizing performance as Wong Fei-Hung in the revitalizing Rise Of The Legend.
Here, he claims the title role for Kwok’s take inspired by pen named author Jin Zehai’s 2000 novel joining Peng with Invisible Target and Wild City co-star Shawn Yue’s role as fellow mythical mainstay, Erlang Shen, and actresses Ni Ni and Zheng Shuang. The film’s first teaser is here ahead of its July 13, 2017 release in China and right off the bat, you can already tell this will be a much more tonally different take than what we’ve seen based on the late Wu Cheng’en’s original literature in recent memory. This looks darker, slicker and pretty cool so far.

Cine Asia Takes Heed Of Benny Chan’s CALL OF HEROES For VoD, DVD & Blu-Ray In January
If there were ever an actor worthy of big screen appeal as a villain, instantly it would be actor Louis Koo as the heinous, murdering son of a General in Benny Chan’s latest home release prospect, Call Of Heroes. Action legend Sammo Hung himself directed the action headlining the riveting drama telling of a group of skilled warriors uniting against a coming threat with actors Eddie Peng, Wu Jing, Sean Lau and Liu Kai Chi delivering even more of the film’s best performances.
My personal favorite action scene takes place in the second half which takes place on a bridge – a scene also exemplary of how to design action to permeate around the drama, lending further weight and credit to the film’s overall story and script. These are just a few points I’ll leave off here about the film for you to mull over while I’m more than pleased to report that home viewers in the UK will themselves hear the call starting on January 2, 2017 for the film’s VoD, Blu-Ray and DVD releases courtesy of Trinity Film’s newly relaunched Cine Asia shingle.
Read onward and check out the official trailer and DVD and Blu-Ray artwork, and be sure to pre-order your DVD and/or Blu-Ray copies right now!
Cine Asia makes a grand return with their first new release since 2012 – CALL OF HEROES – a martial arts epic set in the warlords era of China, in which a small village fights to defend itself against an overwhelming onslaught.
Blistering, epic-scale action from director Benny Chan (NEW POLICE STORY, SHAOLIN), with action director Sammo Hung (IP MAN, DETECTIVE DEE: MYSTERY OF THE PHANTOM FLAME). Call of Heroes thrills throughout in its tale of skilled martial artists, who take a stand to protect their village against a ruthless army.
In 1914, after the collapse of China’s Qing dynasty, Yang Kenan (Sean Lau – Mad Detective) is appointed as guardian to defend the rural village of Pucheng. When a lone man enters the village and takes innocents lives, Yang makes the decision that he must be sentenced to death. It emerges that this man is Cao Shaolun (Louis Koo – FlashPoint), son of a sadistic warlord, and his army demands the son is released, threatening to bring death and destruction. The village soon becomes split between those who want to stand against the warlord, and those who want to set Cao free in a bid for peace. As the odds for peace lessen and the pressure mounts for Yang to release the murderous captive, a stirring tale of heroic resistance unfolds as he and a team of skilled villagers make a last stand against the warlord’s vicious army. In the face of insurmountable odds, heroes will rise.
