Actor Aaron Kwok is in excellent acting form, being one of the most sought-after actors in modern Chinese cinema. Not long ago, a police thriller died down "Cold War 2", and it’s already interesting to look at Kwok’s plans: among future projects with him in the lead role there are historical dramas, wuxia epics, action films and thrillers.
But we'll talk about the upcoming action movie "Peacebreaker" (Peace Breaker), which is a remake of the 2014 South Korean hit "Difficult day" (in Russian box office "I'm going to the end").
We have already mentioned this project, which will tell the story of a detective who, after his mother’s funeral, is forced to hide an accidental crime from his colleagues, simultaneously finding himself at the mercy of a mysterious man who decides to commit atrocities through the main character.
A Taiwanese is at the director's helm Lian Yichi, previously noted for the police comedy "Sweet Excuses" (2014). Apart from Aaron Kwok playing the lead role, not much is known about the ensemble cast. For now, only the actor keeps Aaron company Wang Canyuan ("Saving Mr. Wu") and actress Liu Tao ("Let's get married").
The premiere date for “Peacebreaker” is already known - 18 August 2017 year. We can only wait for the film's trailer and admire the poster and official stills. Let's hope Lian Yichi and Aaron Kwok make a good action movie.

Kwok's next project that might interest us is a 100% action movie called "Project Gutenberg" (previously the film was called Unparalleled) two directors and screenwriters Felix Chon ("Moonlight in Tokyo") and Alana Maka (“Acknowledgement of pain”). Together they worked on projects such as "The Lost Blademaster" with Donnie Yen and the trilogy "Overheard".

However, in addition to Aaron, the film got itself another big star. This is a classic of Chinese cinema. Chow Yun-Fate ("Hard Boiled", "God of Players"). Also on board are: Zhang Jingchu ("Mission: Impossible: Rogue Nation") Liu Kai-Chi ("Call of Heroes") Pauline Song (“The Accidental Spy”) and others.

Aaron Kwok is already over 50, although this is not an age for Hong Kong cinema. I have a very friendly attitude towards this actor and singer, who, to my great regret, somewhere at the beginning of the new millennium, missed his chance to become a superstar on the level of Andy Lau, although he has all the data for this - charisma, acting talents and sports training. In "Throw" he is simply inimitable.
Well done Aaron! Keeps up the brand.
