Hong Kong action thriller Twilight Of The Warriors: Walled In, which screened at Cannes this week, is set to become a trilogy, reuniting director Soi Cheang and producers John Chong and Wilson Yip.
Like the first film, the two new instalments will be based on the novel City Of Darkness by Yuyi. Both are expected to go into production around the same time next year on newly built extensive sets, according to Angus Chan of Entertaining Power, who owns the film rights to the novel.
The second instalment, Twilight Of The Warriors: Dragon Throne will be set in the 1950s and 1960s, serving as a prequel to the 1980-set first film. It will trace the early years of the characters played by Louis Koo and Aaron Kwok. Chou Man Yu (Dust To Dust) is writing the screenplay.
