Hong Kong 's Universe Films Distribution will be unveiling Benny Chan's latest action title at the upcoming European Film Market (EFM), an $8m cop drama starring Nicholas Tse, Shawn Yue and Jaycee Chan.

The film, which has the working title Invisible Target, follows three police officers, driven by different motives, who join forces to defeat the head of a band of thieves called the Ronin Gang. Andy On and Beijing-born wushu champion Wu Jing have also joined the cast.
