Tsui Hark's 3D Wuxia film, "The Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" ("Long Men Fei Jia"), released new still photos featuring singer-actress Li Yuchun.

In the film, Li portrays a swordswoman who is born into a wealthy family. The latest still photos show Li in a broad-brimmed leaf hat, wearing a plain colored, tight-sleeved coat and ankle-length slacks. According to Chung-Man Hai, art director of the film, to dress Li in such a way embodies both mystery and fashion. It took them more time to design Li's costumes than for other characters.

The film is loosely based on "New Dragon Gate Inn" (1992), a period film set during the Ming Dynasty in the desert region of China.

The star-studded cast also includes Jet Li, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun and Mavis Fan.

It is expected to be released during the Christmas season in 2011.
