Gareth Evans Announces Teaser Date For THE RAID 2: BERANDAL
On Thursday night, Twitter followers of action maestro Gareth Evans watched as he decided to tweet everything fans could possibly want to hear at this stage of the post production process for The Raid 2: Berandal after wrapping in July:
“Teaser trailer sent for VFX work & grading. Scoring done. Sound mix next. Aiming at putting it out around 7/11 Nov if all goes smooth.”
“Saving a bunch of stuff for the main trailer hopefully end of December early January.”
“Not planning to put too many clips out there – seems a lot of films these days are showing way too much before they even release.”
“We have 17 action sequences in the film – so there’s going to be a lot fresh material unspoiled by any teaser or trailer we release.”
“At most both combined would equate to 3mins 30s. Last I checked – the action alone clocked in around 1hr 5mins mark.”
To everyone that has expressed excitement & anticipation about The Raid 2 teaser. Thank you, I read everything & you’re fucking awesome.
