With director Jacob Cheung‘s new film, The White Haired Witch Of Lunar Kingdom roughly a month away from its opening day, we now have a new, English-subbed version of the official trailer that went viral earlier this month. The film is well into its promotional cycle with behind the scenes footage, character posters and screenshots from the movie scattered all over the internet this month as the marketing continues to gear itself toward fans of two of Asia’s most popular celebrities in recent years, lead actress Fan BingBing and actor Huang Xiaoming.

As for the film itself, and as with most films being remade and remarketed for today’s generation of movie lovers, fans familar with the title character’s previous film appearances will also have a chance to interpret Cheung‘s new 3D revival of the classic character will work when the film finally releases on April 25. So the next several week should prove more useful should we get to see a new trailer, and we just might.

For now, check out the current footage below, in addition to a few new character posters, and stay tuned for more info.

SYNOPSIS:

In the twilight of the Ming Dynasty, the Imperial court is plagued by corruption as tyrants rule over the land. With the Manchurians preying on a weakened empire, war is imminent.

To save the victims from further suffering, sorceress Jade Raksha fights the soldiers that oppress people for their own gain. As payback, local government officials decide to pin the murder of Governor ZhuoZhonglian on Jade, turning her and the members of her cult into wanted fugitives for a crime they didn’t commit.

New Trailer And Poster Art For JUPITER ASCENDING

Say what you will about Channing Tatum‘s look, or even the Wachowskis — Lana and Andy and their cinematic vision. Today is the day we now have a brand new epic trailer for their latest release, Jupiter Ascending. Mila Kunis is the protagonist of this interstellar thriller which arrives July 18. And with the possibility of these two directors returning to The Matrix with a new trilogy, Jupiter Ascending could lead to some good prospects in that regard.

Hopefully the trailer emebedded above is a sign of that. So take a look, and peep at the new posters below.

SYNOPSIS:

Jupiter Jones was born under a night sky, with signs predicting that she was destined for great things. Now grown, Jupiter dreams of the stars but wakes up to the cold reality of a job cleaning toilets and an endless run of bad breaks. Only when Caine, a genetically engineered ex-military hunter, arrives on Earth to track her down does Jupiter begin to glimpse the fate that has been waiting for her all along – her genetic signature marks her as next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos.

HERCULES Lets The World Know His Name In The Commanding New Trailer!

Actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has been real busy as of late keeping close to the pulse of his fans through social networking ahead of promoting his next big screen adventure, Hercules. The official trailer premiered at CinemaCon this week, along with a whole new batch of footage of other films heading our way this summer. And today, the official trailer is now online courtesy of Machinima ETC.

Unlike the previously released Renny Harlin-directed 3D film, Hercules takes on a whole new level of understanding for the character which essentially appears to do tons of justice for fans of its lead actor whose early resumé includes The Scorpion King; I’m almost inclined to ask you all which of the two would win in a fight, but I digress! At any rate, the trailer delivers solidly with The Rock’s own stamp of approval, and I’ll leave it to you to decide if I’m correct in that assertion.

Hercules bows July 25!

SYNOPSIS:

Based on the graphic novel Hercules: The Thracian Wars, the ensemble-action film is a revisionist take on the classic myth set in a grounded world where the supernatural does not exist. The screenplay is by Ryan Condal and Evan Spiliotopoulos.  

Everyone knows the legend of Hercules and his twelve labors. Our story begins after the labors, and after the legend…  

Haunted by a sin from his past, Hercules has become a mercenary.   

Along with five faithful companions, he travels ancient Greece selling his services for gold and using his legendary reputation to intimidate enemies.  But when the benevolent ruler of Thrace and his daughter seek Hercules’ help to defeat a savage and terrifying warlord, Hercules finds that in order for good to triumph and justice to prevail… he must again become the hero he once was… he must embrace his own myth… he must be Hercules.

EuropaCorp, Fundemental Team Up For Besson's Next, WARRIOR'S GATE

EuropaCorp, Fundemental Team Up For Besson's Next, WARRIOR'S GATE

Things seem to be cooking for a while now for Luc Besson and his production company Europacorp going into 2014 with a few films releasing this year, including Brick Mansions and the August release of Besson‘s newly completed sci-fi action thriller, Lucy, featuring Scarlett Johansson. The company has also been busy formulating its partnership with Mark Gao Jingdong over at Shanghai-based film production and sales company Fundemental Films, with plans to produce and release a batch of new films, notably including the new Transporter trilogy with actor Ed Skrein that was announced in the summer of last year.

The subject of such a partnership came up in an article written as recently as nearly two weeks ago in which Clifford Coonan over at The Hollywood Reporter discussed co-production status as a means for overseas film productions to get access to the mainland and make more money without being hindered by China’s current film quota system, a system which Youku Tudou Inc. chief executive Victor Koo says would increase if more theaters were built.

On the film front, the same THR report also officially confirmed another film on the way to be co-produced by both parties in the form of a new action adventure film titled Warrior’s Gate. At the time, the story details were still unknown, but a follow-up report now concludes the plot to center on a young gamer who comes across an antique box that throws him back in time to ancient China where he eventually learns martial arts.

Sure, it sounds like we’ve already been there before and the plot sounds pretty simple as things stand, so more details will be needed in the long run to get a better analysis of what this film will look like. Meanwhile, Besson will be teaming up once more with fellow scribe Robert Mark Kamen to help bring the story to life from ink to film.

We’ll learn more about this film as the year rolls on. So stick around for further updates.

ameera-27

The Full Trailer Is Online For AMEERA

A second trailer has aired for Xu Hong Hui‘s new film Ameera which releases in China on April 4, 2014. We got a teaser a few weeks ago with a plot that sees actress Patricia Hu playing an agent on a desperate mission to foil a terrorist attack after failing her previous assignmemt. Regarding both the teaser and today’s new trailer, while the suggested plot sounds good, there are some goofy looking its in them, including a seeingly mad villain that looks straight out of a Hanna-Barbera cartoon.

I don’t know what this says about the film as a whole, but I am eager to learn more. And if there’s anything that pops up, I’ll be sure to share it.

Also, The Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions actor Collin Chou is in it. So that should help feed the curiousity some.

The New TV Spot For NEED FOR SPEED Asks "What Drives You?"

We have a new TV spot for director Scott Waugh‘s upcoming revenge cross-country racing thriller, Need For Speed. In light of this, folks in Atlanta, Gerogia looking forward to the film’s release may want to stay close to lead actor Aaron Paul‘s twitter feed as he continues to ramp up promotional efforts for the new film, set to arrive in theaters in the U.S. on March 14, 2014.

 

Check out the TV spot at the bottom, and if you’re an Atlanta resident and want to fly out to the film’s Hollywood premiere, CLICK HERE and cross all fingers and toes.

SYNOPSIS:

Based on the most successful racing video game franchise ever with over 140 million copies sold, DreamWorks Pictures’ “Need for Speed” captures the thrills of the game in a real-world setting. An exciting return to the great car-culture films of the 1960s and ’70s, when authenticity brought a new level of intensity to the action, “Need for Speed” taps into what makes the American myth of the open road so enticing.    

The story chronicles a near-impossible cross-country race against time—one that begins as a mission for revenge, but proves to be one of redemption. In a last attempt to save his struggling garage, blue-collar mechanic Tobey Marshall (Aaron Paul)—who with his team skillfully builds and races muscle cars on the side—reluctantly partners with wealthy, arrogant ex-NASCAR driver Dino Brewster (Dominic Cooper). Just as a major sale to car broker Julia Bonet (Imogen Poots) looks like it will save the business, a disastrous, unsanctioned race results in Dino framing Tobey for manslaughter.  

Two years later and fresh out of prison, Tobey is set on revenge with plans to take down Dino in the high-stakes De Leon race—the Super Bowl of underground racing. To get there in time, Tobey must run a high-octane, action-packed gauntlet, dodging cops coast-to-coast and dealing with fallout from a dangerous bounty Dino put on his car. With his loyal crew and the surprisingly resourceful Julia as allies, Tobey defies odds at every turn and proves that even in the flashy world of exotic supercars, the underdog can still finish first.
