Actress Veronica Ngo is exiting 2018 on a pretty high note. With a documentary about her life in the midst covering the Star Wars: The Last Jedi co-star’s spanning career in film on both sides of the lens and in several areas, her latest push, Furie (a.k.a. Hai Phoung), is guaranteed to leave a mark in the new year.
MMA star and actor Cung Le’s continued foray into film has been a bit more quiet in recent memory, even having at one point circulated a proof-of-concept titled Codename: The Dragon through his website. That particular project remains on ice as far as I can tell, while all eyes are now glaring at Le’s current activity since the summer promoting Evoke Entertainment Group’s The Target which is on deck to begin filming very soon.
Western audiences have gotten an ample taste over the years of what multi-faceted actress Veronica Ngo can do, most prolifically on camera. She kicked ass on her way into the fandom next to Johnny Tri Nguyen in films such as The Rebel and Clash before paving her way into Hollywood for a time in David Ayer’s Bright and Rian Johnson’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and now she’s doing it again in Le Van Kiet’s latest, Furie, which began its campaign back in Cannes long before finally premiering an official trailer for its Vietnamese release in February.
Le Van Kit and Kefi Abrikh are paired up in directing this jewel (titled Hai Phượng for colloquial context) and I’m only ever excited to see the trailer for this. Stay tuned for one, as well as more artwork should there be.
Le Van Kiet (The Rich Woman, The Lost Tour: Vietnam) is directing alongside acclaimed action director and Film Combat Syndicate favorite Kefi Abrikh (Jason Bourne, Lucy), with actress Ngo producing along with Bey Logan.
The official trailer is live as of July and a date is still pending from Cleopatra Entertainment who acquired the rights. Check it out below!
Take a look!
For as long as I have been writing on my blog, I truly enjoy promoting some films that gain my interest quite heavily and inspire me. One of which is the latest from actor Dustin Nguyen making his directorial debut for Vietnam‘s latest first-ever fanatsy action film, Once Upon A Time In Vietnam. The film was released late last year and began hitting film festivals in select parts of the world, and while I myself haven’t seen it yet, I love the overall look of this film and the starpower it holds, and I also love the concept it delivers as a Western Mad-Max type of film with epic martial arts action with a touch of romance and bloody revenge.
