Director Le-Van Kiet is officially making his crossover to the West in firm fashion with The Princess, and with a trailer that suits itself excellently following his previous hustle, Vietnam’s 2019 one-woman army actioner Furie.
The Princess crowns actress Joey King as the lead for the subversive new tale from Kiet about a young Princess who defies gender-norms as she throws her full weight into the fray, fighting her way out of an unwanted marriage to save her kingdom.
An action-packed fight to the death set in a fairy tale world, “The Princess” is directed by Le-Van Kiet (“Furie”) and stars Emmy Award® nominee Joey King (“The Act,” “The Kissing Booth”) as a beautiful, strong-willed princess who refuses to wed the cruel sociopath to whom she is betrothed, and is kidnapped and locked in a remote tower of her father’s castle. With her scorned, vindictive suitor intent on taking her father’s throne, the princess must protect her family and save the kingdom.
The movie also stars Dominic Cooper (“Preacher”), Olga Kurylenko (“Black Widow”), and Veronica Ngo (“The Old Guard”). “The Princess” is directed by Le-Van Kiet, written by Ben Lustig (“The Thirst”) & Jake Thornton (“Final Fantasy”), and produced by Neal H. Moritz (the “Fast and Furious” franchise), Toby Jaffe (“Total Recall”) and Derek Kolstad (“John Wick”), with Joey King and Guy Riedel (“Spectral”) serving as executive producers.
Featuring action and sequences by Kefi Abrikh (Furie) and Clayton Barber (Marvel’s “Iron Fist”, The Survivor) The Princess releases from 20th Century Studios and Hulu on July 1.
