“Time and Tide” Japanese Theatrical Poster
Influential Hong Kong action director Tsui Hark (Time and Tide, Once Upon a Time in China, Zu: Warriors from Magic Mountain) is planning a military action film titled Operation Network.
The upcoming film will star Zhang Hanyu (Manhunt, Operation Red Sea), Zhang Jiayi (Wild City, A Touch of Sin) and Siqin Gaowa (Switch, Beijing Love Story).
Plot details are currently non-existent, but with the popularity of military-type actioners (i.e. Wolf Warrior 2, Operation Red Sea, Operation Mekong), expect Hark to give Dante Lam a run for his money.
We’ll keep you updated as we learn more. Until then, here’s a look at its preliminary poster, courtesy of AFS.
I guess the SARFT has made it a prerequisite theses days that any military flick has to be prefaced by the word ‘Operation’.
With Tsui Hark in charge of this one, here’s to hoping we get something different. This could be something great if he brings all of his toys with him and avoids jingoism.
