It was directed by Kimble Rendall (Matrix Reloaded, I Robot), and produced by Arclight Films. Speaking to 3D Focus last year, Bait 3D Stereographer Markus Stone, Head of Production for Inition Asia Pacific said “My understanding is simply that the Chinese distributors wanted a film that would resonate more with Chinese audiences. By expanding on one of the storylines of the original film, a separate, yet interwoven story was able to be incorporated that introduced some new characters, and increased the participation of some of those from the original film”
