Here is the trailer and posters for new martial arts movie Sorcerer And The White Snake starring Jet Li, along with Vivian Hsu and Charlene Choi.
The movie is directed by Ching Siu-tung (Duel to the Death, A Chinese Ghost Story) so you should get the feel for the movie if you have seen those movies before. Green Snake was also released in 1993 with Maggie Cheung playing the character, which this time goes to Charlene Choi, a good choice.
Jet Li was announced to be part of the cast during early pre-production however his role was not revealed until September 2010, when some actors’ roles were announced including Jet Li as Fa Hai, Eva Huang as White Snake, Raymond Lam as Xu Xian, Charlene Choi as Green Snake and Wen Zhang, whom Li invited to play his disciple Neng Ren.
Film Synopsis: “At its most basic, the story tells of a young scholar who falls in love with a beautiful woman, unaware that she is a white snake that has taken on human form. A monk intervenes in order to save the scholar’s soul and casts the white snake into a deep well at the Leifeng Pagoda.”
Regarding the action scenes, Jet Li said he had never been this exhausted before. Li says, “ After fighting the White Snake, fight the Green Snake. After fighting the Green Snake, then fight the Demon. After fighting this Demon, then fight another Demon. After fighting this Demon, then fight the Water Monster. Everyday on set I was letting out a big sigh”.
Release date for martial arts movie The Sorcerer And The White Snake is set to 29 September 2011.
