lf This week in Australian cinemas a release crept up on me — it’s only thanks to a Facebook update from the fine people at Melbourne’s Chinatown Cinema that I noticed it! (*)
Action stars Wu Jing (SPL, Shaolin) and Scott Adkins (The Expendables 2, many others) star in Wolf Warrior, a Chinese war film that has Wu (who also directs) starring as a Chinese special forces sniper squaring up against a group of foreign mercenaries. Details are thin on the ground, but here’s a trailer (no English subs, sadly, but you’ll get the idea):
This film owned the Chinese box office on release — see this report from Variety.
Wolf Warrior is screening in Australia from today (16 April) at the Chinatown in Melbourne, and at selected other cinemas around the country. Check cinema websites for screening info.
(*) PS: if you’re a distributor or a cinema showing Asian films and we don’t post about what you’ve got coming up, get in touch and let us know they’re out there! We don’t always catch everything scouring the Web on our own…
