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...

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 Man From Nowhere Teaser Trailer - A New Action hero is born?

The Man From Nowhere  is a new and upcoming action thriller from South Korea whichshould be out in its native Korea late summer if not before end of 2010. For many years the South Korea cinema as in big budget action movies has been dominated by a few actors like Kwon Sang Woo or Song Kang-Ho so the industry has been crying out for some new blood and with The Man From Nowhere it looks like they have found there man in Won Bin  whom in the west may know from the fantastic Madeo (Mother) which is finally getting a release cinematically in UK.
Won Bin has been around for a little while on the acting front but as they say all good actors/actress have to start somewhere and build that reputation up and the big parts will come to you and it looks like this will be Bin's window of opportunity!

Trailer for Sang-Soo's THE HOUSEMAID

teaser 2 for Blades of Blood (a.k.a Like The Moon Escaping From The Clouds)

source Twitchfilm
Not that long ago I gave you the first trailer for Lee Jun-ik's Like The Moon Escaping From The Clouds, well below is trailer 2 for the movie with its new shorter name Blades of Blood.
The new name of the movie is virtually a exact translation of original Korean name, I think it may have alot to do with the Western Market. If you did see this movie advertised you may aitomatically assume it's more a love story rather historical war drama.
Apart from the movies name you may automatically assume this is an rip-off of the classic Japanese Zaoitichi series due to the fact the movies main protaginist is blind, actually there's no connection the story comes from a Korean manga comicbook though I would count out some inspiration from the Japanese story.
Like'em or loathe'm the Asian movie industry know how to do an epic historical battle with great ease, check out the new extended teaser trailer (no.2).
