Hulu has announced an adaptation of Charles Yu's best-selling novel Interior Chinatown.

One day, however, he meets a detective (Chloe Bennett) who hires him as her inside man to investigate a mysterious case in Chinatown.

We are treated to a taste of kung fu action by Willis, his Golden Palace colleague (played by Ronnie Chen), and some mysterious thugs. Intrigued? Start below:
