A few new film projects were released today at the ongoing 2016 Shanghai International Film and TV Festival.

Popular writer-turned-director Guo Jingming, known for his high-grossing romance film franchise "Tiny Times," released a 3D trailer of his new fantasy film “Legend of Ravaging Dynasties.” 

Based on Guo's 2010 novel, the film featuring lavish scenes and stunning visuals is the first CG live-action blockbuster in China. It will be released on September 30.
"Kung Fu Yoga," an action-packed co-production between China and India also caught media attention today at the festival.

The adventure film starring action star Jackie Chan will hit cinemas across China next year. Ancient legends of China and India will be incorporated into the story line.

Hong Kong cop drama "Cold War II" also held a press conference this afternoon. 

Starring Chow Yun-fat, Aaron Kwok and Eddie Peng, the film will be the opening film tonight for the film gala of the 2016 Shanghai International Film and TV Festival. It will start national release on July 8.

Hong Kong cops will continue to face unexpected intelligence challenge in the sequel. The original film was a big winner at the 32nd Hong Kong Film Awards, winning nine statuettes including Best Film, Best Director and Best Actor.
