THE INVINCIBLE DRAGON: Max Zhang Is The Man With The Dragon Tattoo In The Newest Promo

It was earlier this week that I alleged action star Donnie Yen might be crowding the blogs this week. Undoubtedly he’s leveled up on that end while several stars of note are delivering in equal measure, including actor Max Zhang whose latest, Invincible Dragon from Three…Extremes helmer Fruit Chan, still doesn’t have a local release date but otherwise stil bares a 2018 stamp.

It also invites fans in with a tough new short promo following its newest trailer earlier this week which highlights Zhang in the role of a tattooed undercover cop whose impulsive work ethic brings him in the throes of a suspicious serial killer in the form of an American Army veteran. Former UFC Middleweight champ, actor Anderson Silva hones in his acting for the role opposite our inked protagonist which you can now take a gander at several times below.

BIG BROTHER: Donnie Yen Leads The Rollcall In The First Official Teaser

I think it’s safe to say that Donnie Yen is gonna crowd a LOT of fanboys this week. He’s got numerous projects simmering and brewing in production or development and director Kam Kar-Wai’s latest, Big Brother, will certainly be one of them upon its release.

Hong Kong’s Mega-Vision Project Workshop announced the film at Filmart on Monday with Yen starring as Chan, a high school teacher who must apply his unconventional methods to get through his students, as well as face the unsavory past that haunts him. Yen is joined by Jess Liaudin who plays the menacing taxi driver in Julien Seri’s Night Fare next to Boyka: Undisputed villain Brahim Acchabkhe, as well as Craig Miller of The Brothers Grimsby fame and Tanigaki Kenji serving up the fight action with a release currently pending.

Much focus on the narrative will be on the educational aspects and backdrop overall as Yen has promised in interviews and posts prior. That said, you can still bet this will be a solid sell to the fanbase as folks now get to sample in the first teaser below. Peep it!

Very proud to present the very first teaser of “Big Brother” it’s going to be refreshing, unique and impactful, I promise!✌️#donnieyen #甄子丹 #bigbrother #actionmovies #education #大師兄 #superbulletfilms #bulletfilms #
