Tsui Hark Makes a Comeback in U.S. Trailer for Legends of the Condor Heroes: The Gallants

      Although he was once incredibly prolific, Tsui Hark hasn't directed a solo feature since 2018's Detective Dee: The Four Heavenly Kings. Since then, he has directed one short in the Septet anthology and co-directed two films in the immensely popular Battle at Lake Changjin series in China. Now, he returns with Legends of the Condor Heroes: The Gallants, a visually striking epic that he both directed and wrote, based on a novel by Jin Yong, who was also the inspiration for Tsui's The Swordsman and Swordsman II. This film is set to be released by Sony on February 20, marking Tsui's largest opening in the U.S. in many years. A U.S. trailer has been released ahead of the opening.

      Here's the official synopsis: “Under Genghis Khan, the Mongolian army advances westward to conquer the Jin Dynasty, with the Song Dynasty next in its sights. Amidst internal strife among martial arts factions, Guo Jing rallies the warriors of the Central Plains to defend Xiangyang, showcasing bravery and loyalty in the nation's fight.”
