Trailer for Ah Gan's DON QUIXOTE - 3D

source Filmsmash
With on off fiasco with Terry Gilliam's proposed version of Don Quixote it's seems filmmaker Ah Gan has got there before him. This isnt a full on adaptation but a fantasy adaption of the classic Spanish book but based on the legendary Chang'an dynasty warrior.
I am really interested in seeing this but only in 2D NOT 3d (if you follow my Peoples Movies blog Im not a fan of 3D movies) The movie stars Gao Tuo, Karena Lam, Liu Ye and Wang Gang with no offical release date yet confirmed yet.

Trailer for John Woo's REIGN OF ASSASSINS

Source Twitch
Since John Woo decided to move back into the Hong Kong/Chinese movie market I feel a sense of confidence, happiness, a man back on form. Woo'smovie seem to have moved back up to the top where they belong and he is a fine example that Hollywood isn't the dreammaker many filmakers & actors see Hollywood as. Its dogeatdog world and if you hack it on the first attempt and keep the momentum going dreams turn to knightmares.
Bought Red Cliff last week on DVD and if you give me anything set in China when chivlary is in order with John Woo behind the lens Im sold! Here is the first trailer for REIGN OF ASSISSANS which Woo co-directs and produce, proper old school here! The movie is currently in pos-tproduction but what we do know is that Weinstein Company have the American rights so we can expect a release in UK too! Yesss!!!

Movie stars Michelle Yeoh, Woo-sung Jung, Barbie Hsu, Kelly Lin and Shawn Yue, trailer after the break...

First Trailer For Song Hae-sung's Korean remake of A Better Tomorrow - INVINCBLE

source FILMSMASH
Song Hae-sung''s Korean remake of the classic John Woo Hong-Kong thriller noir A BETTER TOMORROW, now called INVINCBLE has its first trailer.
The talk of the movie has stirred up a few corners as the original movie (as well as movie 2) have some iconic scenes which some up the whole reason why Hong Kong thriller/action flicks have such a massive following worldwide. According to the director only the characters as well as the basic set up of the story remaining with the rest having a modern retake on the original, I think their treading on eggshells as the 1980's feel and look of the movie madeit so good.
As it's Korean the badguys in this version will be North Korean special forces entering the world of organised crime, mmm what do you think guys?

Anyway check out the trailer after the break...

3 New Spoof Trailers for Mr&Mrs Incredible

source 24FramesPerSecond
If this movie was a cheeseburger the amount of cheese on it would rocket you cholesteral leve; through the roof, but hey we do love what were seeing from MR & MRS INCREDIBLE.This was one of the reason I love cinema, something a little different, cheesy but fun looking and sadly we dont get enough of that in mainstream hollywood these days. The movie stars  Louis Koo and Sandra Ng as our heros and the movie did play out at Cannes and did get a great reaction and you can see why in the 3 teaser trailers after the break. The teasers are called "The Moon-landing story", "The Superman story" and "The Golf story" each with there mini story to tell about the movies protaganists.
This is over the topstuff here, though funny full of action as well been created on a big budget, will it be a big sucess, hard to tell as asian markets are alot different than western ones, but dont be surprised if this is a sucess itll be ripped off by Hollywood in a cheap looking remake.

Dante Lam's THE STOOL PIGEON (Sin Yan) will be out in Hong Kong on August 26th and it has a new trailer now in English subtitles.

Mutant mayhem full of tripled chined mutants, clowns and snazzy martial arts goodness, could this be the The Expendables of Hong Kong? Cheesy, retro, possibly ripped by the critic but loved by the fans? August 12th Hong Kong will find out!

Benny Chan' sCITY UNDER SIEGE has its Main trailer

source Filmsmash
About 2 weeks ago I posted the trailer for Benny Chan's maniac mutant american comicbook inspired movie City Under Siege now it has its main trailer which you can watch above and will be out on August 12th. It looks even more cheesier but hey comicbook inspired movies are the populas in movies worldwide so we cant argue but its from Hong Kong so the martial arts will be good though.

Synopsis: Sunny (Aaron Kwok) is a clown in a circus act but he aspires to be a top performer just like his dad, The King of Flying Knife. While in Malaysia, Sunny and a few of his circus performer friends go for a treasure hunt, stumbling upon barrels of bio-chemicals left from the war.

Upon returning, some of the members are mutating due to inhaling the bio-chemicals but Sunny seems fine from the exposure. They gain extraordinary superhuman powers. The leader of the entertainment outfit Chang Tai Chu (Colin Chou)decides to use this newfound strength to do evil.

As there is an increase of crime in the city, the media and the police get involved. Kungfu master Suan Hou (Wu Jing) and policewoman Xin Hua (Zhang Jin Chu) enter the fray, while Angel (Shu Qi), a reporter who is recently demoted, also pursues the case in hopes of rescuing her flagging career.

English Version Trailer For Anime REDLINE

source Twitchfilm
Back in the early 1990's I was lucky in the UK to have a chance tp follow Manga& Anime when you could go into shops buy various magazines, watch anime on tv that wasn't Pokemon or Beyblade, new videos (it was still video back in those days)out everyweek and you had unlimited resources to find out whats going on. Nowdays thanks to antianime sentsationalised reporting by the rightwing media of UK the fanbase has went more underground or struggles to find where to get new movies/comics, its sad because theres more to anime than just Naruto. I still love to delve in and see what I'm missing but finance prevents me going further because when you have great anime like REDLINE you want to be involved more.
Redline is the creation of Takeshi Koike (Ninja Scroll) and Katsuhito Ishii (Taste of Tea) for Madhouse Studios and the movie will be getting a release in North America soon as for UK & Ireland thats a good question.
It's sad in today society especially in UK & Ireland watching animation or reading manga and your over 25 the media regards you as mentally unstable, if only they understood animation and comic books are for all ages!

Trailer For Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phamtom Flame Trailer

source Filmsmash


When I first spotted this trailer before I even looked at the link or what the movie was about it sounded like it was a scooby doo type movie and how wrong I was. The movies title ( Di Renjie - original name)  Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phamtom Flame is enough to attract any one to find out more!.
D-project (its short name) stars Andy Lau (Future X-Cops, The Warlords) and Bingbing Li (the forbidden Kindom) in a Action crime thriller  as well been set not in modern day but 690AD. As if said many times on this blog the Chinese/Hong Kong know how to create period movies is spectacular fashion and this one is big!
This time last year I was in Guangzhou, China and everywhere you went as well on TV Andy Lau was everywhere on Pepsi & Shampoo billboards, tv ads he is big money ! He is actully remaking What Woman Want the Mel Gibson movie it seems to be a deal that some of the hollywood  movies to be remade into asian movies (theres a japanese version of Ghost coming too), well think about it Hollywood is always looking at the foreign movie market for new movies usually destroying them, so why cant it be reversed? dont blame them

Won Bin is a man on a mission a mission to suceed and become the new kid on the block with the international action movie genre, showing many similarities of a young Chow Yun Fat. You can see how weel Bin fare'sin the second trailer of THE MAN FROM NOWHERE.

The new trailer is a little longer than the first trailer but with this trailer we do get to see how the action & story  will fold out in the movie and we're very very impressed in what we're seeing. I still dont know if this movie will make any appearence on a big screen here (more likely DVD) but you can catch Won Bin on August 20th when he is the lead male in Bong  Joon Ho's Mother finally has an theatrical release in UK, a completely (and acclaimed performance) different style of movie.

Early days for this movie weren't looking with it even missing possibly the festivals but thankfully it made Cannes and now several months on here is  Jiang Wen’s LET THE BULLETS FLY. offical trailer.

This looks a visually fantastic looking Period piece and its one thing I can say about the Chinese when it comes to period based movies they go all out to make it as authentic  as possible in a grand scale and it has a rock music score to compliment it. You know sometimes they things happen for a reason, maybe the delay was the best thing to happen to this movie as it looks mighty fine movie!

Movie stars Chow Yun-fat, Ge You, Carina Lau, Fan Liao, and Yun Zhou and will be in Chinese cinemas from  December 16th.

I'm not a massive Martial Arts fan but there is a few martial artists cum Actors you have to show respect for because there so good. Donnie Yen is, he's probably number 1 box office smash in China and his latest movie Jing mo fung wan: Chen Zhen(Legend Of The Fist:Return of Chen Zhen).
If anyone thinks hollywood have got the suff when it comes to martial art superhero type movies like 2011's Green Hornet? Think Again Donnie shows Hollywood hows done with this movie and more I see of his movie Im sure ill be a 100% convert of martial arts flicks.

Classic Anime Goes Live Action with Trailer For SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO

Source Twitchfilm
Unless you followed Anime or you can a remember a classic 'cartoon'  from your childhood called Starblazers (it's American name) you may not know about this but SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO is one of the classic 'Space Soap Opreas' and now 33years on the live action version is nearly with us and below is its first full trailer.

Takashi Yamazaki  will be a rich rich man as Yamato is so sacred to the Japanese like Coronation Street here in the UK, but like any national treasure you have to treat it with respect and make sure you dont spoil it.

The creators behind this movie are going big style on the special effects and what we see from the footage I'm mighty impressed! This will be a blockbuster movie in Japan and there lead been fromJapanese pop phenomenon SMAP, Takuya Kimura. 

For those not familar with Yamato you can look at it like a old school Battlestar Glactica but more darker as well as grimer.Check out the trailer after the break and this movie is heading for a December 1st release in Japan and due to the cult status the animation has in the West I do think we'll see a big following here as well.
