Our first look at Fan Bingbing and Huang Xiaoming in the upcoming
wuxia fantasy epic The White Haired Witch Of Lunar Kingdom has arrived in the form of two character posters and several pieces of concept art. Based on the classic 1950's novel
by famous Wuxia writer Yusheng Liang,
it tells a story of kung fu, revenge and romance which has been adapted
previously into films and TV series, most notably is Ronny Yu's
The Bride with White Hair with
Brigitte Lin and Leslie Cheung. For the latest film adaptation,
directer Jacob Cheung and artistic director Tsui Hark, the same duo
behind the blockbuster
Flying Swords of Dragon Gate, will introduce spectacular visuals in 3D and present an unique reinterpretation of the original source material.
The
film is currently in post production and its expected for release in
2014 during Lunar New Year. You'll find the posters and concept art in
the gallery below.
