The official poster and the first trailer for adventure film "The Treasure Hunter", starring Jay Chou and Lin Chi-Ling, were released Thursday as producers gear up for its December 31 release.
Highlighting the film's treasure-hunting theme, the poster features a background that brings to mind "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" starring Angelina Jolie.
"The Treasure Hunter", formerly known by its Chinese name "Ci Ling", is the first collaboration between Jay Chou and Lin Chi-Ling, two of Taiwan's hottest stars.
Created with 400 million New Taiwan dollars (US$12 million), the action-packed film tells the adventure of Qiao Fei (Jay Chou), who strives to protect a hidden treasure with the help of Lan Ting (Lin Chi-Ling).
Former supermodel Lin makes her second big-screen appearance after she won rave reviews for her role in John Woo's "Red Cliff" last year. Pop star-turned-actor Jay Chou, also a fresh face on the silver screen, cooperates again with director Chu Yin-Ping after "Kung Fu Dunk".
"The Treasure Hunter" also co-stars Hong Kong actor Eric Tsang, as well as actor Chen Daoming and actress Miao Pu from the mainland.
