New Title And Casting Confirmed For Wu Jing's WOLF WAR

An update over at Chinesemov was unveiled by some viral movement on Facebook earlier today showing the cast listing for director Jacky Wu Wing‘s upcoming commando action thriller, Wolf War. The film was titled Warg and Wolf in previous reports with behind the scenes footage showing Wu and actor Scott Adkins on set filming in camouflage uniforms over late summer in China.

Interestingly enough is that the cast listing also includes actress Yu Nan, who most recently made the spotlight in the all-star cast the 2012 blockbuster, The Expendables 2, and is also set to appear in Fu Huayang’s exotic all-female jungle action thriller, Angel Warriors this November. In addition, the film has also apparently cast actor Vincent Zhao, best known for his work in such action titles as The Blacksheep Affair (a.k.a. Another Meltdown), Wu Dang and Yuen Woo-Ping’s martial arts adventure, True Legend. Zhao is also less preferably known for the headlines he made in the past couple of years when he bumped heads with actor Donnie Yen over script changes for director Clarence Fok’s recently released Special ID prior to him leaving the cast and enduring an ongoing media circus that followed.

At any rate though, it’s good to see Zhao working again. And even moreso, with two of the action film industry’s most popular leading men, and a female actress with the talent to hold her own in an action flick. Now let’s just hope this production brings better prospects for this particularly intriguing upcoming war thriller when it arrives in 2014.

Actress and Pay Back co-star Deng Ziyi is also set to appear in the film. I suppose we will learn more about Wolf War in the weeks and months ahead, so stay tuned as the updates continue trickling through.

The first update may have already been seen on a few other sites. However, sharing is caring, so I figured a nice little behind-the-scenes video from Dante Lam‘s upcoming martial arts drama, Unbeatable, would make a nice little treat. The film has already garnered a few awards in recent months and sports an excellent cast that features Nick Cheung and Eddie Peng, who have also been recently named along with actor Dennis To to star in director Roy Chow‘s up coming re-envisioning of legendary healer and heroic kung fu icon, Wong Fei-Hung in Rise Of A Legend.

Last week on Wednesday, actor Scott Adkins drew a lot of attention on twitter, having ecstatically announced the completion of filming for director Renny Harlin‘s Hercules 3D before returning to Hong Kong after thirteen years to work with actor, martial arts performer and filmmaker Jacky Wu Jing. Adkins did not name the project immediately, although it was later confirmed on his official fan site, Scott Adkins Fanz, that the name of the upcoming film would be Warg, a word that shares its origins with Norse mythology which means “Wolf” in English.
