Futuristic sci-fi/martial arts feature film from local filmmaker
by Johnny Wu 28 May '19

28 May '19

For Immediate Release May 21, 2019 Cleveland, OH – Award winning Cleveland filmmaker Johnny Wu has another hit on his hands. Wu’s latest film, Wu Xia 2 The Code, is a futuristic sci-fi/martial arts feature film. Following the success of his martial arts comedy musical film Innerself in early 2018, Wu tackled a more complicated martial arts action film. Wu Xia 2 The Code combines science fiction visuals with Hong Kong styled martial arts sequences choreographed by many of the film’s actors including Wu himself. The film tells the continued story of a group called the 5 Elements who are caught between the FOUR11 and the monopoly tyrant MediCan corporation in pursuit of a code that was developed to provide clean air after pollution and radiation engulfed the planet. Wu filmed in Cleveland, Parma, Mentor and even ventured to Courtland, Ohio. The late fall filming yielded snowy backdrops. The main lead, Ben Zgorecki, whom also helped choreographed two fight scenes, and supporting talents are all well-versed martial artists that worked together before on Wu Xia – a martial arts tango, a short film, free on Amazon, that was released 4 years ago. “Actors trained for months with choreographed fight sequenced instructed by our Fight Choreographer Keith Collins II” said Wu, “and due to the limited time available, many of the actors brought their own martial arts skills to help craft many fight sequences… Like a big family teamwork, everyone helping to make this a reality… I think this movie has over 100 cast and 50 crew to make it happen.” Wu Xia 2 The Code’s current trailer and one of the bar fight scenes was released in early 2019 and has garnered a lot of attention, including being selected to be screened at the Action On Film MegaFest in Las Vegas from July 25 to August 3rd. Legendary actor and stuntman Al Leong along with other Hollywood stunt actors were impressed by the quality that Cleveland can produce. “I am excited to see this movie, the fight scene trailer for Wu Xia 2 The Code was super”, said Cleveland’s own stunt coordinator Richard Fike Sr. “Well done fight team. Super impressed with Johnny’s film making.” Wu Xia 2 The Code will have a private VIP Screening on Friday, August 16 at 7:30pm at Atlas Cinemas Lakeshore 7 in Euclid, Ohio. The film will include many locally made trailers include the first Wu Xia: A Martial Arts Tango short film. Tickets are $10/each, seating is limited, and can be purchased via the Atlas Cinemas’ website or via https://wuxia2thecode.eventbrite.com Visit the Wu Xia 2 The Code Facebook Page at https://www.facebook.com/wuxia2thecode About Johnny Wu Johnny Wu is a well respect filmmaker and an outstanding community leader who has been making movies since 1998. He runs a production company for media and events. Wu co-founded the Cleveland Asian Festival, is producer of the Cleveland Cultural Gardens’ One World Day event and many other events in Cleveland and in Los Angeles. He serves in many nonprofit organizations and has been inducted into several Martial Arts Halls of Fame. You can find out more about Johnny’s company at www.mdifilm.com. About Wu Xia 2 The Code Wu Xia 2 The Code stars Ben Zgorecki and Crystle Paynther, with a supporting cast that includes Keith Collins II, Matt Kane, Jerry Sur, Leland Leger, Lisa Wong and Wayne Wong. Synopsis: IN OUR future, one simple breath could mean life or death. As we search for a solution, pollution engulfs our world. If we don't find an answer fast, all living things shall perish. We are the Five Elements; we strive to protect humanity... Years ago, many warriors came to us seeking change, joined our way of life. Right after, a Code was discovered that could save the world and was injected into one of us. One of our clan's mate didn’t survive. Now we must fight for our lives to bring the code - to the world...or die trying. With the MediCan Research Corporation and The FOUR 11 gang on our tails....We must protect the code....AT ALL COSTS.
