THE GRANDMASTERS Screen Writer Debuts With THE SWORD IDENTITY
Remember the name of Xu Haofeng, you will be hearing it a lot in coming months.
Xu was a script writer on Wong Kar Wai's The Grandmasters - insert obligatory WKW script joke here - but while his contribution on that film will certainly be overshadowed by its famed director The Sword Identity is his and his alone.
Soon to premiere in Venice, The Sword Identity is written and directed by Xu and promises a somewhat new take on the swordplay genre.
In a martial arts event during the Ming Dynasty, a young swordsman must use not only his exquisite swordplay technique, but also his wits, when competing against the masters of four different philosophies of combat... Fascinating debut from the acclaimed novelist and co-writer of Wong Kar Wai's upcoming THE GRANDMASTERS.
