Gordon Chan (Painted Skin) reinvents the legendary constables from Wen Ruian's best-selling wuxia novel series The Four as crime-fighters with superpowers! In his big-budget, big-screen retelling co-helmed with Janet Chun (The Jade and the Pearl), the filmmaker boldly breaks the original's boundaries and merges martial arts, detective mystery, and even fantasy elements into a new breed of wuxia movies.
