Intricately choreographed battle scenes; Donnie Yen ruling the battlefields; Leon Lai looking somber and lovelorn; and Kelly Chen filling out that body armor like no one’s business. Those are some of the things to expect from next year’s Hong Kong/China co-production “An Empress and the Warriors”, and now here’s your first look at the movie’s trailer.

The film’s storyline is set in a period where the country is at war and dukes of the different kingdoms battle for land and power. Kelly plays Princess Fei- er who is commanded by her dying father on the battlefield to defend their country with General Xue-hu (played by Donnie). The princess is later attacked and injured by the treacherous official Hu Ba (played by Guo), but is rescued by Leon’s character Duan Lan-quan, whom she falls in love with. Faced with continued attack from outside and within, the princess must make some important decisions to ensure the survival of herself and her country.
