Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This retells the Legend of the White Snake, one of China's Four Great Folk Tales, previously adapted over 30 times including Tsui Hark's 1993 version.
Jet Li reportedly took the role specifically to play a conflicted antagonist rather than his usual hero, and spent six hours daily in makeup for the climactic Buddha transformation.
