New Posters, Costume Displays And Magazine Shoots Mark Final Push For ONCE UPON A TIME IN VIETNAM


Actor and action filmmaker Dustin Nguyen makes his directorial debut in the upcoming domestic release of Once Upon A Time In Vietnam (a.k.a. Lua Phat) on August 22, 2013. With the film having earned the attention of distributors at the Cannes Film Festival back in May, promotion is now heavy and underway.

This includes new character posters on popcorn boxes, outdoor banners, public displays of the film’s featured costumes for the movie from designer and creator Bao Tranchi, and the official behind-the-scenes footage of the film currently circulating television networks in Vietnam. In additon to this, actress and co-star Veronica Ngo also shared the moment with a group of models for a spectacular photo shoot for Vietnamese fashion and beauty periodical, Dep Magazine, with on-hand photogragrapher Brandon Showers, who also shot the promotional posters for the movie.

Clearly, Nguyen and production company, BHD, have no allusions about what they are doing, as they are looking to break the mold in bringing the country’s first ever fantasy martial arts action thriller with an electric cast, led by an exceptional actor coming into his own as a filmmaker. And with the domestic premiere less than a month away, martial arts cinema fans can be sure to hear news of a much wider release, and even greater prospects for the director and the creative genius behind this hotly anticipated film.
Once Upon A Time In Vietnam stars, and is written, produced and directed by Dustin Nguyen, and also produced by Quang Minh Do. The film also stars Veronica Ngo, Thai Hoa, Jason Ninh CaoDinh Ngoc Diep and Roger Yuan who directs the action along with actor and stunt coordinator, Bui Van Hai.

Follow the progress on the film’s official Facebook page, and stay tuned for more information as it comes. Watch the photoshoot above and make sure to check out the pictures below.
