When I kicked off this blog away back in late September I kicked off with an 3 minute teaser trailer for this movie Confucius starring Yun-Fat Chow (Hard Boiled, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, BulletProof Monk).
Its now nearly 3 months on and a offical trailer finally hits the net. Chow is following the footsteps of his fellow chinese/hong kong filmmates Jackie Chan and Jet Li as they gracefully get older there movie types they appear may get more dramatic and sometimes deep so now he plays the leading part of Conficus.
Conficus is an ancient respected philospher who is seen in many parts of Asia and China especially to have played an important part of how Chinese people think and act in society so its no surprise that in Chinese republic's 60th Anniversary year a movie on one of there nation's great thinkers wasnt going to be far away.
The movie is directed by new upcoming Chinese director Mei Hu and is reported that the budget to make this movie was in the region of £19 million which is high in Chinese movie industry standards but thats what some of Hollywood's big guns are getting to star in movies. All the visuals I have to say looking stunning but the worry for some has the movie fallen into some of the fallings the Red Cliff dropped into? (I thought it was a great movie).
Confucius will be out in Hong Kong/China January 2010.
