The Future Is In Daniel Wu's Hands In The New Teaser For CONTROL

Actor Daniel Wu has long become a prolific actor and producer over the years, most recently crossing over into Hollywood territory for the RZA-directed hip-hop kung fu period fantasy hybrid, The Man With The Iron Fists. Wu also notably starred in director Sebastián Cordero’s intergalactic thriller, Europa Report, and appeared in the first of two steampunk kung fu action adventure films he also produced with director Stephen Fung for, Tai Chi Zero, and its sequel, Tai Chi Hero.

2013 has since been a busy year for Wu, who has recently wrapped up filming the third of a trilogy of surveillance thrillers from directors Felix Chong and Alan Mak, Overheard 3, in addition to a cameo role in Johnnie To’s romantic feature, Don’t Go Breaking My Heart 2 and Unbeatable director Dante Lam’s latest upcoming gritty crime thriller to hit the Cannes Marche Du Films back in May, That Demon Within. That said, Wu now has a new trailer for his next featuring role in director Kenneth Bi‘s futuristic action suspense thriller, Control.

With Fung returning to co-produce, Control also stars Yao Chen, Simon Yam, Leon Dai, Ady An and Shao Bing, and is serving to be a milestone in technological advancement for the Asian film industry and further bridging the gap with Hollywood blockbusters. The film will be released domestically on November 21, 2013 while Wu moves forward with his newly announced hiatus to last from now through June of next year.

Stay tuned for more info and updates as they come, and watch the trailer below the following synopsis.
