Perfect storm

Moviegoers can expect an effects-laden comic book-like extravaganza in Storm Warriors.

The storm is finally here. The Storm Warriors are finally thundering into cinemas next week, a full 11 years after Storm Riders, the first movie based on Ma Wing-shing's best-selling Hong Kong comic Fung Wan (meaning wind cloud in Cantonese).

Main leads Ekin Cheng and Aaron Kwok, who play Nip Fung (Wind) and Bou Keng Wan (Cloud), respectively, were in Kuala Lumpur alongside Storm Warriors directors Oxide and Danny Pang to launch the movie at Berjaya Times Square, on Tuesday evening.
