Director Tony Ching Siu-Tung is currently finishing the martial arts fantasy "The Sorcerer and the White Snake", an ancient Chinese fairytale in which a young man falls in love with a beautiful woman, not knowing she is in fact a White Demon Snake in disguise. A monk tries to save him by battling the Snake.
So far, so "Chinese Ghost Story". But this production has a few aces up its sleeves: Tony Ching Siu-Tung is one of the best choreographer and stunt directors in the business, having worked on productions as diverse as "Hero", "Dororo" and "Shaolin Soccer". And while we're namedropping: the monk will be played by Jet Li and the demon ladies by Vivian Hsu, Huang Sheng-Yi and Charlene Choi.
Tony Ching Siu-Tung has plenty of experience of working with special effects (both of the iffy and awesome kind), martial arts, stunts, beautiful ladies and Jet Li, so color me very interested. Below are some pictures which were just released by SINA.
