French distributor TF1 has picked up France rights to Wu Xia (武侠), the upcoming period martial arts action film directed by Peter Chan (陈可辛).
The deal is the first European sale for the title which was widely sold in Asia at pre-sales stage.
Now in post-production, the $20 million Wu Xia stars Donnie Yen (甄子丹), Kaneshiro Takeshi (金城武) and Tang Wei (汤唯) in a story about a detective on the trail of a killer who has assumed a new identity and gone to ground in a quiet village. Veteran action star Jimmy Wang (王羽), who has been away from the big screen for 17 years, also stars.
The film is currently in postproduction with Korea's largest VFX company Digital Idea (디지털아이디어, The Forbidden Kingdom 功夫之王) handling the visual effect on the film.
Wu Xia is set for delivery by late spring and is slated for wide release in summer 2011.
Asian buyers already on board include Luxuries Resources which paid over $1 million for Singapore and Malaysia, and to Indonesian distributor PT Teguh Bakti.
