wheeee! Pretty amazing stuff is going on in the first trailer (promotion teaser here) for old school director Yuen Woo Ping’s all star show (Zhao Wen Zhuo, Zhou Xun, Gordon Liu, Michelle Yeoh, Andy On, Jay Chow, David Carradine and more) True Legend that will open in 2010. Even though some scenes look like they’ve been nicked from Jet Li’s Fearless where Yuen Woo Ping was responsible for choreographing the action.

Synopsis via Filmsmash Forum:
