Film crew “Wu Xia”, led by director Peter Chan and actors Donnie Yen, Takeshi Kaneshiro и Tang Wei, arrived on set in Tengchong, Yunnan Province a few days ago to begin pre-production. The reason for the slight delay is extreme weather conditions in the form of storms and floods caused by climate change and amplified by the effects of El Niño. Director Peter Chan said that they would start filming as quickly as possible so as not to disrupt the work schedule Donnie Yenregarding his next film about Monkey King.
Peter Chan also mentioned that “Wu Xia” there will be an original script in which combat, physics and medicine will be combined with special effects. This will be done to show, for example, how powerful a punch can be, and how it will differ if a martial artist receives a punch and if an ordinary person receives the same punch. “I want to show the physical power and lethality of martial arts by mixing elements of medicine and science with fight choreography.” - he said.
Even though the actions “Wu Xia” will take place during the Manchu dynasty, Donnie Yen и Takeshi Kaneshiro no need to shave your heads. In film Donnie Yen, hiding from his dark past, lives in a small village at the edge of the world. When an unthinkable murder is committed there, Takeshi Kaneshiro begins to investigate and discovers a sinister plot, and Donnie Yen - the main one on his list of suspects.
