A sequel to Peter Pau and Zhao Tianyu’s 3D fantasy Zhong Kui: Snow Girl and the Dark Crystal is officially in the works. There’s currently no info on who’s returning, but we’ll keep you informed as we learn more (via AFS).
The first film – starring Chen Kun (Young Detective Dee), Li Bingbing (Detective Dee & the Mystery of the Phantom Flame), Winston Chao (The Soong Sisters), Yang Zishan and Bao Bei’er – was released last year by Well Go USA as Snow Girl and the Dark Crystal.
City on Fire’s Kyle Warner criticized the original for its heavy reliance on substandard CGI to tell the story (read the full review).
