Louis Koo (Accident) and Lau Ching Wan (The Bullet Vanishes) are doing the powered exoskeleton thing with Warriors of Future (previously known as Virtus), an upcoming $56M sci-fi action flick that’s being touted as “the most visual effects-heavy Hong Kong film to date, with a future Hong Kong rendered entirely in CGI”. The film also stars Carina Lau (Let the Bullets Fly) and Philip Leung (Shock Wave 2).
At one point, the late Benny Chan (Raging Fire, Call of Heroes) was attached to direct, but the film ultimately ended up in the hands of Ng Yuen-Fai, a talent known for his special effects work on films such as Bodyguards and Assassins and The White Storm.
According to THR, the Hong Kong-China co-production tells the story of a meteorite crashing down on a barren future Earth ravaged by pollution and global warming, bringing with it a fast-growing alien vine that purifies the planet but kills everything in its path. Armed with the plant’s genetic map, the heavily armored military of an unnamed city tries but fails to destroy it and uncovers a conspiracy.
Despite being CGI heavy, the film also uses practical effects, such as a life-size robot to let the actors know what they are acting against, Ng explained.
The long-awaited Warriors of Future is scheduled for a domestic release on 8/25/22. Don’t miss the film’s Newest Trailer
