HONG KONG director Ringo Lam is back with a new action thriller “Sky on Fire.”

    In the upcoming film, actor Daniel Wu plays the leading role as a security agent.

    The hero is responsible for protecting a group of scientists under threat due to the creation of a drug that can extend one’s life.

    In performing a fight scene, the 42-year-old actor said he hurt his nose.

    “In that scene, my nose was broken after colliding with Li Haitao’s head, and I fell unconscious. I was afraid then if I had been hospitalized, I couldn’t have acted in this film any longer. Fortunately, my co-star Li Haitao brought me a bag of ice and then successfully straightened my nose. The next day I was able to continue to shoot.”

    “Sky on Fire” has an all-star cast, which also includes actresses Zhang Jingchu, Amber Kuo and Taiwan actor Joseph Chang.

    The action thriller is the latest installment of Lam’s “On Fire” franchise, as a follow-up to “City on Fire,” “Prison on Fire” and “School on Fire” which all came out in the late 1980s.

    The film is set for release Nov. 25. (SD-Agencies)
