Striking Trailer For Director Zhang Yimous Supernatural Martial Arts Film SHADOW
Ive got a fantastic first trailer here for you to watch for a new supernatural martial arts thriller called Shadow. The film comes from director Zhang Yimou who has previously brought us films such as Hero, House of Flying Daggers, Curse of the Golden Flower, Matt Damons The Great Wall and the Christian Bales The Flowers of War. Hes going back to his roots with this new film and it looks like it could be stunning!
I absolutely love what Im seeing in this first trailer. It looks like it was beautifully shot and theres sure to be some incredibly cool fight choreography. On top of that, the story looks intriguing!
The film is set during Chinas Three Kingdoms era (AD 220280) and it tells the story of a king and his peoples struggle for their rightful land. That story is told through the perspectives of the king, his sister, his commander, the entrapped women of the palace, and a commoner.
This ensemble cast includes Ryan Zheng, Xiaotong Guan, Chao Deng, Li Sun, Qianyuan Wang, Jun Hu, Lei Wu, and Jingchun Wang. Theres no word on when well get to watch this movie in the states, but Ill be looking forward to it.
