“The Yinyang Master” Theatrical Poster
If Teddy Chen’s Double World didn’t quite suppress your mood for videogame-to-film adaptations, then get ready for CKF Pictures’ The Yinyang Master, an upcoming action/fantasy film based on the phenomenal mobile game, Onmyoji.
Directed by Li Weiran (Love Will Tear Us Apart), The Yinyang Master stars Chen Kun (Mojin: The Lost Legend), Zhou Xun (Painted Skin 2: The Resurrection), William Chan (As the Light Goes Out) and Wang Likun (Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons 2).
Description from IMDB: Captain of the City Guard Yuan Boya is stripped of rank after the imperial tribute he was guarding is stolen. Unwilling to let things lie, he searches for the thieves, only to end up entering a mystical world of demons. Along the way, he becomes mixed up in a feud between Yinyang Master Qing Ming and the human and demon worlds. Yuan Boya and Qing Ming go from mutual distaste to grudging respect, eventually establishing an unbreakable bond between master and “familiar.” The two work together to solve an old mystery and prove Qing Ming’s innocence, while also unraveling a conspiracy to bring the Demon King back from the dead and destroy the human world. In the end, Yuan Boya become a respected hero, while Qing Ming makes a great sacrifice.
The Yinyang Master releases in 2021, so we expect to see Trailer soon. For now, we leave you with a couple of stills from the film:
