《四大名捕》 Fantastic Four Detectives (tentative), a contemporary Chinese Western actioner on a team of four cops travelling miles to track down a group of criminals, is beginning production in Dunhuang in a few days. The cast includes Duan Yi Hong, Ni Da Hong, Wang Bao Qiang, Wu Jing, Francis Ng, Barbie Hsu, Feng Yu Xi, Zhang Li...

Director Gao Qun Shu says that the inspiration for the film came from an actual event that took place in Guizhou whereby a convict escaped to the deep mountains and the police force pursued him relentlessly. To prepare for the film, the cast members have been training in various stunts and firearms.

Duan Yi Hong plays the captain of the four cops, a smart, resourceful leader who is skilled in Tae Kwan Do, and an expert in guns and all sorts of pyrotechnics.

Wang Bao Qiang plays another cop, who despite his unexceptional looks, is a hero specialising in Shaolin Fist and car stunts, and is also a crack shot. For the first time in his showbiz career, Wang Bao Qiang, a Shaolin disciple, gets to flaunt his martial arts skills onscreen.

Fantastic Four Detectives will take around two months to shoot and is scheduled for May 1, 2010 release.  Sina
