The trailer for “Weekend in Taipei” dropped online Wednesday, and it’s bringing back two “Fast & Furious” stars.
The action-packed trailer for “Weekend in Taipei” stars Welsh actor Luke Evans, Gwei Lun-mei and Sung Kang and it sounds and looks enthralling. Kang is a favorite of the “Fast & Furious” franchise, with the duo starring alongside each other in “Furious 6.”
“John Lawlor is a pit-bull DEA agent married to his job – there’s not a bad guy he can’t stop, nothing he won’t sacrifice to close out a case. Joey Kang is a top ‘Transporter’ in Taipei – fast-driving and fast-thinking, she’s difficult to pin down, impossible to catch,” the description reads.
“The two of them weren’t supposed to fall in love, but fate brought them together… before forces of crime and corruption tore them apart. Now, 15 years later, fate puts Joey and John on a collision course during a weekend in Taipei. And the two will discover that the only thing harder than falling in love… is falling back in love,” it continues.
