Magnolia Pictures has scooped up North American rights to historical epic WARLORDS, which stars Jey Li and Andy Lau, according to VARIETY. The distributor plans to release the film in late summer. Set during the 1860's Taiping Rebellion, the story follows a general (Li) who survives a slaughter by playing dead and the group of bandits he joins forces with afterward. Peter Chan (3 EXTREMES II) directed the Chinese hit.
