“Heartfall Arises” Chinese Theatrical Poster
Currently being prepped for release is Ken Wu’s Heartfall Arises, a crime-thriller that reunites the two stars of 2012’s The Bullet Vanishes: Nicolas Tse (The White Haired Witch of Lunar Kingdom) and Lau Ching Wan (Too Many Ways to Be Number One). Other cast members include Tong Liya (Wild City) and Mavis Fan (The Silent War).
This $25M (US) production, which is being described as a “high IQ crime movie,” is set across four countries: China, Hong Kong, Thailand and Taiwan.
Heartfall Arises follows two Chinese chess masters who have been entangled in several serial murder cases in relation to the effect of organ transplants. John Ma (Tse) a brave cop, and Calvin Che (Lau) a criminal psychologist brought together are under the great threat and struggle to define all means evolved from the killings. Their final confrontation will uncover the lead behind the scene but will also put numerous innocent people in great danger than it is ever known before.
Heartfall Arises will be released this year in both 2D and 3D. Watch an the film’s “making of” featurette, as well as a trailer below:
