Starring Leon Lai, Liu Yifei and Feng Shaofeng, upcoming historical epic White Vengeance launched its official website and theme song recently in Beijing.

The film is adapted from the well-known legend of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, warlords of the Qin Dynasty (221BC-206 BC), who struggled against the Qin emperor for years, with Liu finally rising to become the first emperor of the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD ).

"It's a well-known story yet doesn't have many primary historical sources to draw from," said director Daniel Lee. "This was both a curse and a blessing, as it allowed us a lot of room for creative exploration in the character's lives and motivations."

Pop star Leon Lai performs the theme song for the high-profile release, whose premiere date has been set for this November.
