Tiger Chen Takes The Sci-Fi Scenic Route In IQIYI Mini-Series, KUNG FU TRAVELER

Don’t expect too hugely to hear more about director Zianfeng Zhang’s latest sci-fi actioner, Kung Fu Traveler. Rising action sensation Tiger Chen headlines the spectacle along with actress Wang Zhi which boasts something of a big deal as a Chinese/Hollywood collaboration in its trailer which aired back in November. That it bears mentioning with Chen’s career progression in the past twenty years whilst working under Master Yuen Woo-Ping and with credits ranging from The Matrix Trilogy to Chen’s own solid acting debut in the kung fu spiritual drama, Man Of Tai Chi, may certainly help here. Alas, that’s only if this is going to be granted a release outside of China’s internet movie staple, IQIYI.com, though with Hollywood action collaborative and production banner 8711 involved, Kung Fu Traveler should still garner some kind of potential. SYNOPSIS: The aliens invade earth. After a furious battle, the General, Tiger CHEN decides to […]

Actor Will Arnett is the latest to join the cast of the Jonathan Liebesman directed film, Ninja Turtles, according to The Hollywood Reporter and several sources. Arnett’s role is also being kept super-secret, meaning the hype will continue to build as fans grow ever more curious about the nature of the production.

Actors Alan Ritchson, Jeremy Howard, Pete Plozek and Noel Fisher will each fill the roles of Raphael, Donatello, Leonardo and Michaelangelo, the four titular characters under the leadership of the life-sized rat, Master Splinter.

Logan Battles Ninjas, Bullets, Swords And Mortality In The New International Trailer For THE WOLVERINE

With word of the new posters this week comes the action packed international trailer for director James Mangold‘s new film from 20th Century Fox, The Wolverine. Prior to the botched release of the trailer came increments of teaser footage for the trailer that lasted anywhere from 6 seconds to 20 seconds, which director James Mangold ended up having to apologize for. Not to mention the headache adding to the frustration behind Vine reels in the first place, which to me is a bit of a c***tease in the first place, and so that’s partly why I don’t blog about Vine clips for trailers when I would rather just put my energy into sharing all the goods. By the way, if you haven’t looked at the mini-teasers yet, then congratulations! You are a master now! 🙂 The film features actor Hugh Jackman reprising the title role following up the four previous […]

You may recall a little film recently released called A Good Day To Die Hard directed by John Moore and starring Bruce Willis reprising the classic role of New York City cop and reluctant anti-terrorist agent of the world, John McClaine who always happens to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. The film also starred Jai Courtney as his son, who happened to be a government spy working in Russia as dad drops into get him out of trouble. As it turns out, prior to the release of the film, the creative process kicked in, and certain scenes got cut out of the movie. One scene cut from the movie in particular would have involved a bloody rooftop Krav Maga style knife fight, choreographed by Eric Jacobus and Alvin Hsing, two members of the premiere martial arts action film stunt company, The Stunt People, along with award […]
