Johnnie To (Fulltime Killer, Office), one of the most diverse directors in the world, has announced that he’ll be making a fantasy epic titled The War Between Huang Di and Chiyou, which will be based on China’s Battle of Zhuolu, an event mostly seen as mythical by historians.
Frequent To collaborator Wai Ka Fai (Too Many Ways to be Number One, The Longest Nite) is on board, presumably as co-writer/co-producer. Cast details are non-existent at the moment, but news should be popping up soon.
Until then, check out the film’s effects-driven teaser trailer.
