To all those naysayers of remakes, you may have a change of heart on this one. A teaser trailer with our first look at the actual footage to Wilson Yip's romance/supernatural film A Chinese Fairy Tale (formly A Chinese Ghost Story) has arrived online and you can color me impressed. Adapted from Pu Songling's classic short story, it centers on a lowly tax collector who encounters and falls in love with a beautiful ghost but standing in their way of being happily together is a soul-sucking demon sect. The cast include Louis Koo, Liu Yifei, Yu Shaoqun, Fan Siu-Wong, Kara Hui and Lin Peng.
The theatrical release date in China is on April 22nd. You'll find the teaser trailer embedded below.
