Tsui Hark’s Detective Dee returns with a grander budget and more surreal 3D effects in the prequel Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon. A massive box office hit in both Mainland China and Hong Kong, the Detective Dee prequel stars a younger cast led by Mark Chao (Monga), who replaces Andy Lau as the young Tang Dynasty detective, along with beauty Angelababy (First Time), William Feng (Painted Skin: Resurrection), Lin Gengxin (Startling By Each Step) and Korean actor Kim Bum (Boys Over Flowers). Carina Lau reprises her role as the powerful Empress Wu Zetian.

Tsui Hark’s highest-grossing work so far, Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon became one of only eight movies in the history of Chinese cinema to surpass the 600 hundred million yen benchmark. The 63-year-old veteran has also been honored with the Maverick Director Award at the Rome Film Festival for combining technology with traditional Chinese folk tales.

Despite much criticism and opposition from their advisors, Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu Zetian declare war and deploy a military fleet to strike their enemies. The fleet, however, encounters an unexplainable mishap at sea and is destroyed. Rumor has it that the fleet has incited the wrath of the sea dragon, which accounts for the series of strange events threatening the empire. A fresh new arrival to the capital, Detective Dee (Mark Chao) is sent to investigate the case after rescuing courtesan Yin Rui (Angelababy). Detective Dee finds out that Yin Rui’s former lover Yuan Zhen (Kim Bum) mysteriously vanished one day and to his surprise, Yuan Zhen’s disappearance is closely related to the sea dragon that is capable of bringing down the entire kingdom..
