Production is now underway on Snowblade, a sexy period martial arts actioner set for delivery at the end of the year.

The English-language film about a swordswoman must kill seven foes before the full moon is the directorial debut of Bey Logan. Logan is a martial arts expert who has relevant producing and writing credits with Ballistic Kiss (殺殺人、跳跳舞, 1998), The Medallion (飛龍再生, 2003) and Gen-Y Cops (特警新人類2) and was responsible for scouting Asian acquisitions for Miramax and The Weinstein Company.

Filming, with award-winning cinematographer Rain Li (李晓雨), is underway at the Ace Studios in Nanhai, China and will continue till early summer. The film stars Sable Yu (俞融蓉) as a lady assassin wandering the Tang dynasty badlands who, as a teenager, had sold her soul to gain mastery of a sword and avenge her parents' murder. It also stars Sabrina Davi, Lawrence Chou (周俊偉) and Calvin Logan.

Snowblade is the fourth to be produced by Logan since forming his B&E Productions last year. The company previously delivered 3-D animation Little Gobie, actioner The Blood Bond with Michael Biehn and sassy action comedy Beach Spike (熱浪球愛戰!).

B&E expects to sign a world sales representative to the film in the next few days.
