Xu Haofeng, the filmmaker behind 2015’s The Final Master and 2017’s The Hidden Sword, is teaming up with Xu Junfeng for Men Qian Baodi (literally “A treasure in front of the door”).
The upcoming film features martial arts star Andy On (Abduction, Undercover Punch and Gun, Black Mask 2: City of Masks), Jacky Heung (League of Gods), Hayden Kuo (Kung Fu Monster) and Li Yuan (The Guillotines).
AFS describes the film as a “martial arts drama”, which should come as no surprise coming from co-director Xu Haofeng, who made a name for himself by penning the screenplay for Wong Kar-Wai’s The Grandmaster. But it was 2011’s The Sword Identity, his directorial debut, which showed Xu’s true talent, who often showcases martial arts sequences in a less stylized and more realistic manner.
We’ll keep you updated on this project as we learn more. Until then, enjoy some stills from the film, courtesy of AFS:
