Maggie Q and Andy Lau in ‘Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon’

Maggie Q and Andy Lau will star in the impending epic movie ‘Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon‘.

The movie is based on “Romance of the Three Kingdoms”, a vast 600-year-old novel by Luo Guanzhong that ranks as one of China’s four most important pieces of literature, which also provided source material for John Woo’s upcoming ‘Battle of Red Cliff’. It will also star Sammo Hung, and will be directed by Daniel Lee.

Do we need another period action film? Sammo Hung will apparently provide some action direction in the battle scenes which promises something a little different or better even.

More on AsianPopcorn, which also has a trailer, although there doesn’t seem to be any footage from the film, but rather a moving image description of the story, idea and the stars.
