Hong Kong's Kirk WONG 黃志強 will shoot his first film in more than a decade when his upcoming Six 異能戰士 cranks up in November in China and Louisiana, US.
The martial arts thriller with manga-stylisation will draw on US and Chinese elements and is backed by Chinese and US companies. The project was first announced in June by co-investor Asia Entertainment Media Co Ltd 亞洲娛樂媒體集團有限公司.
Additional finance is from China's OK101, Fantawild Film Industry Investment and state-backed film fund National Film Capital 國影投資基金. Hyde Park Entertainment executive produces and handles international sales.
The script is by LI Feng 李馮, Erik MARTINEZ and Doug BRODE. It features a rogue scientist who has created five human-animal mutants, which are in conflict with Six, another hybrid that is threatening to destroy them.
