Anticipation Grows As Soi Cheang’s TWILIGHT OF THE WARRIORS: WALLED IN Teaser Drops
To say Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In has martial arts cinema fans champing at the bit would be an understatement. The film, directed by Soi Cheang (Limbo), and starring Raymond Lam (Saving General Yang), Richie Jen (Seoul Raiders), Louis Koo (Paradox), Sammo Hung (Ip Man 2) and Philip Ng (Once Upon a Time in Shanghai) was met with immediate anticipation as soon as it was announced back in 2021. In fact, the film garnered buzz as far back as 2013 when Donnie Yen was rumored to star. Fast forward a decade and here we are, finally getting a taste of what we might see from legendary Action Director, Kenji Tanigaki. I think I can comfortably say that fans won’t be disappointed!

Philip Lui Koon-Nam is set to direct. Lui’s previous (and only) film as director, Undercover Punch and Gun, also starring On and Ng, was met with fairly positive reviews from martial arts fans upon its initial release in 2019. Little is known about Without Remorse at the moment. The FILMART presentation was accompanied with a concept poster showing two silouetted characters squaring off against a destroyed cityscape. However, Ng did take to Instagram to describe the film as a “hardcore martial arts actioner.” Production on the film will start soon so expect details to trickle in shortly.
