Man, when the music played I just flashed way way back to the good old times of the golden era of TVB HK-dramas of the 1980’s. HK-director Tsui Hark is coming back with his take on Louis Cha‘s novel Legend of the Condor Heroes and all signs point to this being a HUGE movie. Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Great Hero has confirmed the premiere date on the first day of the new lunar new year in 2025, historically the most sought after day to release a movie in China. Tsui Hark brings his martial arts filmmaking experience of over 40 years to a refreshed take of this popular IP source material and this time with top Chinese actor Xiao Zhan as Guo Jing and actress Zhuang Da Fei as Huang Rong. It’s her casting that’s head scratching but I trust Tsui Hark if he picked her. The first poster and teaser is here and uses the same theme song of part 3 of the drama 1982 TVB version with Felix Wong and Barbara Yung so I love that, and it’s interesting that neither Xiao Zhan nor Zhuang Da Fei is shown (yet) but it’s a smart move to ratchet up further the excitement. This version is reportedly set in the battle to defend Xiangyang Castle.

No, this article is all kinds of wrong.
This is from the Legend of Condor Heroes and deals with the first defence of Xiangyang.
The leads are not married and have no kids. This concerns a section of text at the end of LOCH and has never been filmed before. Please don't spread misinformation.
Can't tell much from this 30s trailer but it does give off that old HK movies vibes. Hopefully they will screen overseas too.
It's a concept trailer, which is different from even a teaser trailer. The old school feels is there to connect to what is known for promo. Who knows what the movie is actually like. Cent likes to copy and Tsui Hark won't release anything until he has to, it's too risky.
Movie has already acquired ww distribution.
I'm a huge fan of Xiao Zhan. of course I'm so hyped up for this movie. from what I heard, it will
have a worldwide release.
