Storm Warriors - Sequel to Storm Riders
Universe Entertainment started on big-budget comic-sequel 'Storm Riders 2', featuring Aaron Kwok and Ekin Cheng as Cloud and Wind. It is based off the famous chinese comic. The original 1998 cantonese version did very well and thus the sequel.
This sequel is slated to cost about $12 million and directed by Danny and Oxide Pang ('The Eye') and a lot of money is spent on special effects for this one. Based on the trailer, it looks pretty amazing. The film is expected to be released by the end of 2009 in Hong Kong, China and Asia.
'Storm Riders 2' is the first Hong Kong movie filmed exclusively on blue screen and custom-made sets. I guess similiar to Sin City by Frank Miller. Based on the short trailer, it seems to have similiar dark feel as Sin City.
The movie also stars Simon Yam as Lord Godless, Nicholas Tse as Heart, Charlene Choias Second Dream and rising star , Tiffany T, will play Chu Chu.
'Storm Riders 2' is an adaptation of comic master Ma Wing Shing's 1990s best-selling 'Fung Wan'.
