Snowblade commences principal photography in Nanhai
Mar 2011 17

B&E has begun production on the exotic period swordplay actioner ‘Snowblade’ at the Ace Studios in Guangzhou. The film, which stars Sable Yu (from the Pang Bros release ‘In Love with the Dead’), tells the tale of a lethal bladeswoman who must cut down seven foes before the full moon sets. ‘Snowblade’ marks the directorial debut of B&E co-founder Bey Logan, who is ably supported by acclaimed Cinematographer Rain Li (Gus Van Sant’s ‘Paranoid Park, ‘Paris Je T’Aime’). Though the full cast has yet to be announced, the scenes shot so far feature rising Guangzhou-based actor Taeki Gong and celebrated Chinese-American character actor Andrew Ng. “Our year one productions were quite tame compared to this,” observes Logan. “ ‘Snowblade’ reflects the darker, edgier side of our creative instincts’.”
