According to newspaper the Beijing News, directors the Pang Brothers and leading performers, including Aaron Kwok, Ekin Cheng, Nicholas Tse, Charlene Choi, Tang Yan and Kenny Ho were present at the event.

The Pang Brothers said this upcoming book-to-film action movie is shooting in a completely digitalized realm and ninety percent of the scenes have used computer-animated effects. The total budget is around 100 million yuan, about $146,000.

The shooting for the film will be completed within a week. It will be shown on the big screens both in the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong at the end of 2009.

Storm Warriors and its predecessor are based on a comic book series titled Fung Wan by artist and writer Ma Wing-shing.
