Member mpm74 Posted May 21, 2015 Member Share Posted May 21, 2015 Tom Cruise, eat your heart out! Louis Koo (Accident) is doing the powered exoskeleton thing with VIRTUS (aka Mao Dun Zhan Zheng), an upcoming sci-fi action flick that may possibly be Hong Kong’s answer to all that Halo, Robocop and Edge of Tomorrow stuff. http://www.cityonfire.com/is-virtus-louis-koos-edge-of-tomorrow/ Watch the trailer!

Member kami Posted May 21, 2015 Member Share Posted May 21, 2015 Looks like a short demo reel for effect house Fat Face. Nevertheless, it looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member kami Posted April 4, 2019 Member Share Posted April 4, 2019 I guess 300 million dollar means HK dollar which would make the movie a 40 million US dollar production. Still quit expensive for a HK film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member whitesnake Posted April 5, 2019 Member Share Posted April 5, 2019 21 hours ago, kami said: I guess 300 million dollar means HK dollar which would make the movie a 40 million US dollar production You're right, I didn't check, but the budget was HK $300 million. Most of that went for the FX - $45 million (not in HK dollars). "Formally known as 'Virtus', special effects for the HK $300 million budget sci-fi thriller..." http://www.maactioncinema.com/archives/3266 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
