Ahead of the new trailer for the live-action adaptation of
Mulan, Disney has debuted a new one-sheet for the upcoming adventure film.
Most of Disney's previous live-action remakes have stuck pretty close (arguably too close in some instances) to the original animated movies that inspired them, but
Mulan looks set to break tradition with a very different retelling of the Chinese legend.
With no songs, no dragon sidekick and a far more serious tone, producer Jason Reed told
Empire in a recent interview that fans should expect something closer to a David Lean (
Lawrence of Arabia) or Akira Kurosawa (
Seven Samurai) historical epic.
See star Liu Yifei wielding a sword as she prepares to fight with the Imperial Army below, and be sure to check back for the new trailer tomorrow.
In addition to Liu, the film will star Donnie Yen (
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) as Commander Tung, Jason Scott Lee (
Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story) as Böri Khan, Yoson An
(Ghost Bride) as Cheng Honghui, Gong Li (
Curse of the Golden Flower) as Xianniang and Jet Li (
Hero) as The Emperor.
Acclaimed filmmaker Niki Caro brings the epic tale of China’s legendary warrior to life in Disney’s “Mulan,” in which a fearless young woman risks everything out of love for her family and her country to become one of the greatest warriors China has ever known.
