Ringo Lam is definitely back in the game! The legendary Hong Kong action director is currently prepping the release for Sky on Fire (aka Battle of Life), his follow up to his 2015 “comeback” film, Wild City. Plot details are under wraps, but Daniel Wu (That Demon Within), the film’s leading star, is describing it as City on Fire 2. The film hits Chinese theaters on November 25, 2016.
“I said yes without even reading the script because John Woo, Ringo Lam and Tsui Hark are the guys who have initiated this new wave of classic Hong Kong and I always wanted to work with them. The movie is called Sky on Fire, but it could just as well be described as City on Fire 2,” said Wu, in reference to Lam’s seminal 1987 classic, City on Fire.
Sky on Fire also stars Amber Kuo (Jian Bing Man), Joseph Chang (Wild City), Leon Lai (White Vengeance), Zhang Jingchu Zhang (Switch), Simon Yam (SPL II) and Gordon Lam (Trivisa). |
