Poster artwork for Director Teddy Chen’s 2009 period Martial Arts movie, Bodyguards And Assassins has now surfaced in Asia. Produced by Cinema Popular and We Pictures with Fight & Action Choreography handled by Stephen Tung Wei, the $23 million dollar film began shooting last month and will continue to the end of June. Tung Wei supervised the action sequences in Chen’s last big-budget actioner in 2000 with Jackie Chan’s The Accidental Spy and was keen to get Wei on board this time around too.

Bodyguards And Assassins is about the efforts of a group of Kung-fu experts to protect Dr. Sun Yat-sen as he leads a revolution against the Chinese Qing Dynasty. The principle cast for the film can be seen in the following “Poster Cast List” below along with on-set production pics of a certain bald Donnie Yen:
