Los Angeles: Veteran filmmaker John Woo's latest film 'The Crossing Part 1' has released its final trailer.
The two-part movie, which stars Zhang Ziyi ('Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'), centres around three couples caught up in the 1949 sinking of the Taiping steamer, reported a website.

The ship was crammed well over capacity with refugees fleeing China to Taiwan after the Civil War, leading to over 1,500 deaths after it collided with a cargo boat.
Song Hye-kyo, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Huang Xiaoming, Bowie Lam, Tong Dawei and Masami Nagasawa also star in the film.
'The Crossing Part 1' will be released in China on December 2, with Part 2 following on Chinese New Year 2015.
Western releases are yet to be announced.
