Daniel Wu Is Ready For A Fight In Two New INTO THE BADLANDS Stills!

A lot is happening on the AMC Television front these days, and regular viewers of the network may be delighted to check out just what is happening for one of its forthcoming shows, Into The Badlands, a new take that spins off of Chinese folklore with actor Daniel Wu leading the cast. As such, we now have two new stills from AMC TV through Twitter showcasing Wu in costume which you can now view below

Into the Badlands is a genre-bending martial arts series very loosely based on the classic Chinese tale Journey to the West. In a land controlled by feudal barons, Into the Badlands tells the story of a great warrior and a young boy who embark on a journey across a dangerous land to find enlightenment. 

"We’re incredibly excited to blaze the trail, bringing a martial arts drama to television," says writer/co-showrunner Miles Millar.  

The show stars Hong Kong film star and master martial arts filmmaker Daniel Wu (City of Glass, The Heavenly Kings), Emily Beecham (28 Weeks Later, The Village), Sarah Bolger (The Tudors, In America) and Oliver Stark (The Adventurer: The Curse of the Midas Box, My Hero). The project was created by writers/showrunners Al Gough and Miles Millar (Shanghai Noon, Smallville). They'll serve as Executive Producers alongside Oscar-nominated producers Stacey Sher and Michael Shamberg (Pulp Fiction, Contagion), as well as Stephen Fung and Daniel Wu (Tai Chi Zero).

Six one-hour episodes are set to air later this year with Entertainment One distributing. Stay tuned for more info!
