New Chinese Movie Posters Unveiled at Cannes


A number of new Chinese films have unveiled their movie posters at the Cannes Film Festival over the past few days, and here is a selection of them for your viewing pleasure.
 
WHITE VENGEANCE
This one is a historical epic starring Leon Lai (BODYGUARDS AND ASSASSINS, FIRE OF CONSCIENCE). Directed by Daniel Lee (DRAGON SQUAD, THREE KINGDOMS, 14 BLADES), the film tells the story of a famous Chinese banquet that involved the two key characters in the overturning of the Qin Dynasty. Zhang Hanyu, Liu Yifei, Feng Shaofeng, Anthony Wong, Jordan Chan and Andy On co-star. I have always found director Daniel Lee's movies to be mostly entertaining despite the (very) often messy narrative. So this one should be a fun, if forgettable, historical film. Plus the strong cast could really help lift this film.
