Hong Kong director Wong Jing's upcoming sci-fi action film "Future X-Cops" has released a trailer, offering an early taste of high-tech futurism.
In the film, Andy Lau plays a superhero in the year 2080. He travels back in time to 2020 to protect a child who is pursued by assassins hired by oil companies as the child would in 2080 find how to replace oil with solar energy.
Lau's character works under the disguise as a policeman and fights the villains with Transformer-like outfits.
Ignoring those who have slammed the film as just another Hollywood mimic, director Wong Jing told reporters at a promotion on Thursday that the film's focus is its story, not its special effects.
"Future X-Cops" also stars Barbie Hsu, Fan Bingbing and Xu Jiao. Cinema release is set for March 30.
