1/17/12
BEGINNING OF THE GREAT REVIVAL details the historic events surrounding the Chinese Revolution—the period from 1911 to 1921 when Sun Yat-sen overthrew the Qing Dynasty and planted the roots of what has become modern-day China’s Communist
government.
The story charts the beginnings of the country’s most influential first-generation leaders, including ambitious warlord Yuan Shikai (Chow Yun-Fat, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), who undertakes an attempt to revive the Chinese monarchy, Tsai Ao (Andy Lau, Infernal Affairs), the pro-Republic governor of Yunnan, Mao Zedong (Liu Ye, Curse of the Golden Flower) and
others.
A “slick and lavish historical epic” (Variety), BEGINNING OF THE GREAT REVIVAL stars over 150 top actors–including Daoming Chen (Hero, Aftershock) and Angela Yeung Wing (Love in Space)–in one of China’s biggest blockbuster films of all time.
Releasing on Cable VOD, digital platforms and DVD for the first
time in North America day-and-date on January 24, BEGINNING OF
THE GREAT REVIVAL opened in more then 23 theaters in the U.S.
and Canada in june 2011, timed to the 90th anniversary of the
