The upcoming period epic “The Warrior and the Wolf” directed by veteran Chinese Zhuangzhuang Tian what we can tell from its trailer is about some Chinese soldier types wandering into the desert and getting their fill of some supernatural happenings. This movie also stars sexy Maggie Q, she shows up to seduce the hero and have passionate sex by a campfire. In the trailer we show wolves show up in packs. This movie is due out in Asia late October 2009.

While the whole story was set in the Era of the Warring States, before the unification of China, those were time where thousands of soldiers are dispatched to fight the enemy and conquer nomadic tribes. Sent to isolated regions at the edges of the known world, the soldiers encounter many difficulties, and the vicious challenge of survival often carries out the most horrible human natures. Except that valiant Lu Chenkang (play by Joe Odagiri) belongs to a different type. This man is brave, loyal and extremely skilled in the art of war. On the other hand, he is kind-hearted and reluctant to assassinate. Although he has a pet wolf cub, he maintains his own animal instincts at bay.

At the time his commander and friend, General Zhang Anliang (Tou Chung-hua), is badly injured just before the early winter, Lu let himself to command of the troops. Forced to locate shelter in the village of the strange Harran tribe, he realizes a beautiful young woman (Maggie Q) hiding in his shelter. A widow shunned into loneliness, she has a fierce personality and fights Lu in every way she can before surrendering to his passionate embrace, having fallen for him against her better judgment. She appears to have the weird capability to take his mind to a place where memories run over with dreams and legends and that was a place where humans were once wolves.
