Shadow U.S. Trailer

Yimou Zhang‘s Shadow / Ying (2018) U.S. movie trailer stars Chao Deng, Li Sun, Ryan Zheng, Jun Hu, and Qianyuan Wang. Shadow‘s plot synopsis: “With SHADOW, director Zhang Yimou (HERO, HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS) once again pushes the boundaries of wuxia action to create a film like no other, masterfully painting a canvas of inky blacks and greys punctuated with bursts of color from the blood of the defeated.

In a kingdom ruled by a young and unpredictable king, the military commander has a secret weapon: a “shadow”, a look-alike who can fool both his enemies and the King himself. Now he must use this weapon in an intricate plan that will lead his people to victory in a war that the King does not want.”

More on the plot of Shadow:

Set during China’s Three Kingdom’s era (AD 220-280). The story of a great king and his people, who will be expelled from their homeland and will aspire to claim it.

The king, violent and ambitious, of mysterious methods and motives; his general, a visionary who yearns to win the final battle but needs to prepare his plans in secret; the women of the palace, who struggle to find redemption in a world where they have no place; and a commoner called “Lord of all the world”, will be the characters around who turn the inexorable forces of this story.

Shadow also stars Jingchun Wang, Xiaotong Guan, Lei Wu, and Bai Feng.
