It may have taken a lot longer than planned but 30th April sees the action thriller Helios finally hit the screen in Hong Kong and across South East Asia. The movie comes from Sunny Luk and Longman Leung, the award-winning team behind the very successful Cold War from a few years ago.
The film features a very impressive multi-national cast that includes Jacky Cheung (Bullet in the Head), Nick Cheung (Beast Stalker), Shawn Yue (Shamo), Wang Xueqi (Bodyguards & Assassins), Chang Chen (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon), Ji Jin-hee (H), Choi Siwon (Battle of Wits), Yoon Jin-yi (We Are Brothers), Janice Man (Nightfall), with action sequences choreographed by Chin Kar-lok (The Viral Factor).
The plot: When a terrorist uses stolen North Korean Uranium to make a mobile nuclear bomb, and puts it up for sale with Hong Kong as the marketplace, Korean, Hong Kong & Chinese Law Enforcement officers find themselves raging war across both the former crown colony of Hong Kong & former Portugese Enclave Macau, in the hope of preventing the weapon falling into the wrong hands.
Some very familiar faces round out the supporting cast including a certain Impact Editor playing twin villains, Future Fighters producer Guy Orlebar, Way of the Dragon's Anders Nelson, Unbeatable's Bitto Singh Hartihan, Craig Miller (Kingsman: The Secret Service), Andy Prior (CoWeb), Philipe Joly (Dragon Blade), Temur Mamisashvili (Skip Trace) and Chris Collins (White Storm).
Here's the project's final trailer:
