“Wings Over Everest” Theatrical Poster
Looks like Wu Jing’s The Climbers has some stiff competition: Wings Over Everest, an upcoming crime thriller set amid the snows of Everest. The film stars Koji Yakusho (The World of Kanako) and Zhang Jingchu (Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation).
When a plane carrying important documents crashes in the Death Zone of Mount Everest, two men claiming to work for India’s research and analysis department offer a large sum of money to Team Wings to take them up to recover them.
Wings Over Everest is executive produced by Terence Chang (Once a Thief) and written and directed by Yu Fei, a former vice president of Paris-based gaming giant Gameloft, who is also an experienced explorer, diver and mountain climber (via SD).
The film releases domestically December 12th. Don’t miss its Newest Trailer below:
Looks like they took all of the NG footage from ‘The Climbers’ and thought “Well, we can still try and make a movie using this crap, let’s get to it.”
