Filmart: iQiyi's 'Kung Fu Traveler' Set for North American Debut
Quote:
Directed by Xian Feng, the action film stars Asian martial arts master Tiger Chen in a story about an alien takeover of Earth.
As Filmart got underway in Hong Kong on Monday, Crimson Entertainment acquired the rights to Chinese streaming-video giant iQiyi’s sci-fi action film Kung Fu Traveler for a North American release.
Crimson Entertainment, in association with Hannover House, is planning to bring the film out stateside this summer.
Directed by Xian Feng, Kung Fu Traveler stars Asian martial arts master Tiger Chen (Man of Taichi, Matrix) in a story about an alien takeover of Earth. Playing a Chinese military general, Chen’s character is sent back in time to try to devise a way to defeat the alien invaders.
“Tiger Chen is an incredible martial artist and actor and we’re very excited to bring his next project to viewers and audiences in North America.” said Jonathan Lim of Crimson Forest Entertainment. “This is not your typical martial arts film.”
The film was released in China in February exclusively on iQiyi and China Movie Channel, where it generated more than 20 million views in its first week.
“Kung Fu Traveler has very strong commercial prospects in North America, due to spectacular production values and stunning visual effects,” said Eric Parkinson, CEO of Hannover House
