With director Jacob Cheung‘s new film, The White Haired Witch Of Lunar Kingdom roughly a month away from its opening day, we now have a new, English-subbed version of the official trailer that went viral earlier this month. The film is well into its promotional cycle with behind the scenes footage, character posters and screenshots from the movie scattered all over the internet this month as the marketing continues to gear itself toward fans of two of Asia’s most popular celebrities in recent years, lead actress Fan BingBing and actor Huang Xiaoming.
As for the film itself, and as with most films being remade and remarketed for today’s generation of movie lovers, fans familar with the title character’s previous film appearances will also have a chance to interpret Cheung‘s new 3D revival of the classic character will work when the film finally releases on April 25. So the next several week should prove more useful should we get to see a new trailer, and we just might.
For now, check out the current footage below, in addition to a few new character posters, and stay tuned for more info.
SYNOPSIS:
In the twilight of the Ming Dynasty, the Imperial court is plagued by corruption as tyrants rule over the land. With the Manchurians preying on a weakened empire, war is imminent.
The situation is even worse near the northwest border, where widespread famine is rapidly claiming lives. To save the victims from further suffering, sorceress Jade Raksha fights the soldiers that oppress people for their own gain. As payback, local government officials decide to pin the murder of Governor ZhuoZhonglian on Jade, turning her and the members of her cult into wanted fugitives for a crime they didn’t commit.
