From http://www.mangareviewer.com//?page_id=20
“Kakuri is a member of the Clan Of Bokk. A clan dedicated to save as many lives as possible when times are rough.
And the year 230 B.C. was one of those rough years, with unceasing wars that cover the entire 7 countries of the country of China. But the Clan Of Bokk has only one rule: Never ally with any country or kingdom for personal benefit. But with the sudden and increasing amount of wars the Clan Of Bokk is walking a path that goes against their teachings and Kakuri knows this, so he sets on a quest to cleanse his Clan and end war at all costs, even the cost of his own life.” - summary by Dtortot.

The Kung Fu Cinema Website has revealed that one of the biggest Chinese movies of 2006 has begun production with an international cast including Andy Lau (House of Flying Daggers), Fan Bing-bing (Twins Effect 2) and the Korean star Ahn Sung-Ki. Set in China’s warring states era, Battle of Wisdom, as the film is tentatively titled, is based on the 11-volume Bokko manga created by Mori Hideki, Sakemi Kenichi, and Kubota Sentaro. The Bokko manga is available in France, but it has not yet been released in the U.S.
Japanese composer Kenji Kawai (Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence) is providing the music, while Zensh Sakamoto is director of photography. Stephen Tung Wai (Warriors of Heaven and Earth) is directing the $16 million film’s massive battle scenes.

(This looks soooooo much like Musa(The Warrior) - and that’s a GOOD thing! And in fact, Sung-kee Ahn (Sergeant Jin in Musa) plays primary roles in both movies!)
