In an announcement, Disney described The Princess as a mixture of action movie 'John Wick' and classic animated musical fantasy "Sleeping Beauty".
It will be directed by Kiet, an action director known for his Vietnamese martial-arts movie 'Hai Phuong' (Furie), which included many fight scenes featuring a woman and received positive reviews from critics for its direction. The movie was Vietnam’s official entry at the 2020 Oscars.
