“Double World” Promotional Poster
From Teddy Chen – noted Hong Kong director of Kung Fu Jungle and Bodyguards and Assassins – comes Double World (read our review), a martial arts fantasy film based on the popular Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG).
The plot for Double World is fairly straightforward stuff. A fictional nation is divided into various states, and in one of the more influential ones, there’s concerns of a power struggle emerging with their similarly powerful neighbouring state. So a warlord (Bobo Hu Ming, Kung Fu Yoga) arranges a martial contest for each of the respective states to send 3 of its best fighters, with the promise of honour and riches for the winner, however secretly the warlord himself is vying for power, with the martial contest really being a front for his devious plans.
Produced by Soi Cheang (SPL II), Double World stars Peter Ho (Sword Master), Henry Lau (Final Recipe), Jiang Luxia (Operation Red Sea) and Him Law (The Monkey King), with action direction from Stephen Tung Wai (Operation Mekong, Kung Fu Jungle).
Double World is currently on Netflix. Don’t miss the film’s Trailer below:
