Yo!Saigon! Trailer for Hip Hop drama ELECTRIC SAIGON

source TwitchFilm
Saigon Electric is the new indie drama from The Owl and the Sparrow director Stephane Gauger.
Gauger is a big fish in the arthouse-indie cinema network and he's teamed upwith Veitnamese Chanh Phuong Films to produce the county'r first ever hip-hop musical drama which is been lined up for a mid-December release, here's Gauger's description of the movie...

In my wish of telling universal stories with a global outlook and a distinctly Vietnamese point of view, the seeds of "Saigon Electric" were planted. Continuing the themes of my first narrative feature "Owl and the Sparrow", my hope is to create a visceral landscape of the hustle and bustle in modernized Vietnam. More than half of Vietnam's current population is under the age of eighteen, born after the American War. As the doors of the West have opened up to the nation and consumerism weaves its way into the value system, youth culture is seeping onto the streets of Vietnam. Hip-hop, graffiti artists, and punk rock are alive. My wish is to give these teenagers a voice and present to an international audience a fresh new look at the dreams and struggles of Asian youth.

A NewTrailer For Stuart Beattie's Tomorrow: When the War Began

source FirstShowing

Stuart Beattie might not be a recognisable name to some but he's the man who wrote the scripts for the Pirates of The Carribbean movies (arrgh him you say!) and Tomorrow: When the War Began is the Australian's directoral debut.
The movie is based on books of the same name by john Marsden with a few familar faces to British viewers with Caitlin Stasey (Rachel from Neighbours), Lincon Lewis (Geoff- Home & Away) and Rachel Hurd-Wood (Soloman Kane, Dorian Gray, Peter Pan). As usual as this movie is taken from popular books i've not read these books so I would personally see the movie first then read the books so not to be over critical of every little detail, but everyone has a preference .
MGM are skint and recent news that there remake of the 1985 movie is been put on hold (probably forever as they cant get a buyer), this is probably going to be the closest you'll get to a movie very similar to Red Dawn and apart from the odd cheesy over the top action /patriotism this does look like it'll be a good fun adaptation.
No news of a British or even American release date but September the 2nd the movie will be out in Austrailia and New Zealand.

Trailer For Chinese Period Comedy-drama The Dragon and Phoenix Inn

Source FilmSmash
There's not anything I can say on this trailer but its for Chinese/ Hong Kong period comedy THE DRAGON & PHOENIX INN, which has Richie Ren and Barbie Hsu both big names in the chinese cinema. It does look like it has plenty of kong-fu action scenes, plenty of laughs and it does last nearly 5 minutes which isnt unusal for a chinese movie.
anyway no graphics so the trailer is there instead.
