The first teaser for Full Strike has just hit online, showing off the impressive line-up of talent in director Derek Kwok's upcoming badminton tournament flick. Produced by Josie Ho's 852 Films, the film sees the actress star alongside Ekin Cheng, Susan Shaw, Ronald Cheng, Gardner Tse, Edmond Leung, Wilfred Lau, Andrew Lam, Wang Lin and Bao Chunlai.

Josie plays a former badminton champ who, 10 years after being expelled from the sport, reluctantly agrees to coach Ekin and his rag-tag gang of reformed criminals in an amateur competition.The tone of this brief trailer seems to suggest a comedy, which will put the Gallants director back in more comfortable territory following last year's As The Lights Go Out - a star-studded and financially successful firefighter drama that proved a pretty hollow experience.

Full Strike is expected to hit screens in Hong Kong in March/April 2015.
