Where is this cyberpunk wuxia film that I’m totally ready for?
Vic Zhou, Zhang Binbin and Liu Ruilin of Flame’s Daughter team up separately pose for a modern wuxia photoshoot.
Harper’s Bazaar is really pounding the revamped wuxia concept recently, having done at least three other shoots in the past six months. After these and Liu Yifei’s shoot, I am even more ready than ever for a cyberpunk wuxia film (no, Jared Leto being creepy shifu in a world with fembots in cheongsam does not count).
Liehuo Ruge / The Flame’s Daughter / Agni Cantabile has released its first stylish teaser. Dilraba (Mr Pride vs Miss Prejudice) stars as Lie Ruge, a young woman who gets romantically entangled with Vic Zhou (Z Storm II), Zhang Binbin and Liu Ruilin (TLTWTMPB).
Hopefully this project will be more to my liking.
Liehuo Ruge 烈火如歌 (also known as The Flame’s Daughter) has released posters. Starring Dilraba Dilmurat, Vic Chou, Zhang Binbin, and Liu Ruilin, a quick look for those interested.
