Director Tsui Hark's 3-D martial arts film "The Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" ("Long Men Fei Jia") has released new photos featuring Jet Li.
In the pictures Jet Li is in black from head to toe. The costume is extremely simple, and even the sword he carries looks plain.
"When he performs, complex clothing and accessories would distract viewers' attention, I hope the audience can focus on his actions and the way he uses his sword. That's the reason why he looks plain on the outside", explains Tsui Hark, the director.
He also says, "3-D technology brought us brand new visual experiences, making 2-D version action movies less attractive. We need to design new rules to make the action suitable for the 3-D version."
Yuen Bun, the action director of the film, says Jet Li won't disappoint the audience. He has designed some difficult but novel actions for Li.
The story of "The Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" is based on Tsui Hark's 1992 movie "Dragon Inn" ("Xin Long Men Ke Zhan"). It is the first time such action movies have been made in 3-D version.
The film stars Jet Li, Chen Kun, Zhou Xun and Mavis Fan. It is to open in late 2011.
