The 'Sakra' trailer showcases Donnie Yen's stylish Chinese action-epic.
It's been nearly two decades since action legend Donnie Yen last stepped behind the camera with 2003's Protégé de la Rose Noire, aka Black Rose Academy. Known for his stellar fight scenes in the Ip Man franchise among many other classics, he's mostly stuck to acting in recent years with the most notable of his roles being in the upcoming John Wick: Chapter 4.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Sakra is an adaptation of the classic wuxia novel Demi-Gods And Semi-Devils by Louis Cha, better known as Jin Yong, and follows Feng on a quest for answers. Accused of murdering his parents, he looks to find out more about himself and the killers that framed him from the shadows. The trailer also shows that the murder created unrest, threatening the integrity of the Song Dynasty.
Though the setup is compelling, the action shown in the footage is to die for. Given he has so many enemies, many of the scenes see Yen taking on multiple enemies at once, though he flies through with grace and ease, bouncing off the walls and deflecting blows as if they're nothing with a smile on his face.
Yen's having a bit of a moment right now thanks to John Wick: Chapter 4. Not only does he get to fight another legend in Keanu Reeves, all while stunning director Chad Stahelski, but he'll also fight iconic Japanese star Hiroyuki Sanada in the film. For Sanada's part, dueling with the martial arts star was a fun and collaborative experience that ultimately elevated the scene in the final product.
Fans will get to see Yen in John Wick: Chapter 4 on Friday, March 24. For those that want to see the martial arts master dice through more enemies and fly across the screen, Sakra will come to theaters in North America on April 14 and on digital on April 18. Check out the exclusive trailer below:
