AMC's martial-arts drama Into the Badlands

[StarLord]

ComingSoon.net

Said to be a genre-bending martial arts series, “Into the Badlands” is very loosely based on the classic Chinese tale “Journey to the West.” In a land controlled by feudal barons, the series tells the story of a ruthless, well-trained warrior named Sunny (Daniel Wu) and a young boy (Aramis Knight) who embark on a journey across a dangerous land to find enlightenment.

Marton Csokas, Stephen Lang, Emily Beecham, Sarah Bolger and Oliver Stark also star.

AMC has ordered six one-hour episodes, which will premiere in late 2015. The project was created by writers/showrunners Al Gough and Miles Millar (Shanghai Noon, “Smallville”). They’ll serve as executive producers along with David Dobkin (The Judge, Wedding Crashers, Shanghai Knights), Oscar-nominated producers Stacey Sher and Michael Shamberg (Pulp Fiction, Contagion), and Stephen Fung and Wu (Tai Chi Zero).

I always like anything that has Stephen Lang in it... the same goes for Marton Csokas...

 

[StarLord]

Yeah it seems like quite an interesting idea. The cast is pretty solid too.

Here's a pic of Daniel Wu and Marton Csokas, who is rocking a beard for his role.

I think I just found my new favourite show, other than the intriguing action scenes which got my attention, it's also made by the Smallville creators!t: Therefore, I am obligated to be a fan.

 

[Quasar]

I was intrigued until I heard about that Smallville connection...

I was intrigued until I heard about that Smallville connection...

Yeah, that didn't fill me with a lot of faith.

 

[James]

The Smallville thing's made me a bit skeptical too, but the trailer looks like a lot of fun!
