Judging by the first trailer for Cao Baoping’s latest flick, Cock And Bull, you wouldn’t be at fault for pegging it as something darkly comedic at the very least with actor Liu Ye leading the cast. This week, second trailer is now making the rounds and with a strikingly different new tone ahead of its September 14 release, hinting at a much more lustful, eerie tale of intrigue and it appeals to the curiosity some.
Here, Ye (co-star of upcoming war epic, The Bombing and Oxide Pang Chun’s My War) leads the cast for the story that pits a small town mechanic and a thief against the odds for a mission to help clear the former’s name in the wake of a motorcyclist’s murder. As for how all the romantic intrigue and dramatic height play into the narrative, your guess is as good as mine but feel free to sample it for yourselves in the player below. Zhang Yi, Duan Bowen and Fiona Wang also star.
