Social media star Steven He (A Father’s Son) will be starring in Essential Film Group’s Kung Fu Deadly, an upcoming martial arts horror action-comedy directed by Fergal Costello (We Are Not Alone) and co-directed by Lee Huang (Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, Lift), who will also be handling the action choreography.
Kung Fu Deadly will also star Michael Tient (Lir Academy), Gemma Chua-Tran (Heartbreak High), Jason Tobin (F9: The Fast Saga) and Max Huang (Mortal Kombat, Hidden Strike).
The movie concerns two hapless pest controllers who are thrust into mortal danger when they accidentally tranquilize a Taoist hunter of Chinese undead aka “Jiangshi” who are spreading through the city. Having interrupted her pursuit of a centuries old enemy and with the clock ticking, they must reluctantly band together to rid the city of this supernatural menace the only way they know how: extermination (via Deadline).
James Norrie of Essential Film Group added: “Kung Fu Deadly is an action comedy that delivers on all fronts. Get ready for a ride that takes inspiration from Big Trouble In Little China with the energy of Stephen Chow”.
