Sakra is an adaptation of the best-selling wuxia novel from 1963 “Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils” starring Donnie Yen as martial arts master Qiao Feng.
Directed by Steve Cheng and produced by Wong Jing, the film began production this summer.
“Like the old Shaw Brothers movies, and so many that Jackie Chan and Jet Li did. And the third type is the Wuxia movie, which is a whole other rich tradition of stylistic heritage. It’s been a long time since I did a Wuxia movie. I did Crouching Tiger 2 and Mulan, but I wouldn’t really consider either of those a true Wuxia movie. Mulan really wasn’t my cup of tea, but I did it for my kids, who grew up watching the original animation. The last film I did, which I would consider truly in the genre, was probably Hero (2002). So it’s been a long time.”
