Zhang Yimou, the acclaimed filmmaker of Hero, The Great Wall, Shadow and Cliff Walkers, is putting finishing touches on Full River Red (or “Man Jiang Hong”), an upcoming period mystery that Zhang is also co-writing with his Sniper screenwriter, Chen Yu.
The film stars Jackson Yee (Pound of Flesh, Chinese Doctors), Shen Teng (Mission Milano), Zhang Yi (Operation Red Sea), Lei Jiayin (A Writer’s Odyssey) and Yue Yunpeng (Jian Bing Man).
Full River Red, a title borrowed from a famous poem by Yue Fei, who was a military general during the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279). Yue Fei was well-known for his patriotism, only to be framed and executed by Prime Minister Qin Hui, one of the most treacherous officials in China’s history. The film is said to revolve around this historical, but mysterious incident, in a new perspective (via China.org).
The film released domestically on January 22, 2023. Catch the Trailer below!
this can’t be as shiite as the commie flag waving One second. That was a joke of a movie
LOL, triggered already! Haha
One second was excellent, ten times better than the boring n’ overrated Cinema paradiso.
Cliff walkers was the best spy movie since The age of shadows. Shadow is a masterpiece.
Can’t wait for this one!
The trailer is hilarious (almost a spoof) and yeah, it’s also supposed to be a comedy.
