Watch The New Trailer For ICEMAN From Well Go USA!

If you lost count when asked on the spot just how many films actor Donnie Yen has been working on recently, you’re totally forgiven.

The last few years have been pretty grueling for the martial arts action superstar and continual working man who has at least two more films headed for a domestic release in Asia this October while busy out in New Zealand filming scenes for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: The Green Destiny. One of those two films will be a sequel to his April release, Iceman 3D, the reboot to director Clarence Fok’s 1989 original classic that wasn’t without its fair share of headlines both before and after production due to an oversized budget and a slate of mixed-reaction from fans and critics alike. Nevertheless, North American distributor Well Go USA has set the film’s limited theatrical release date for September 19 following their mid-Cannes acquisition of the film last year.

SYNOPSIS:

A Ming Dynasty palace guard – wrongly accused of a murder – is being hunted by his three sworn brothers and all four get accidentally buried and kept frozen in time during a battle. 400 years later, they are defrosted and continue the battle while adjusting to modern day life. A Ming Dynasty palace guard – wrongly accused of a murder – is hunted by three sworn brothers bent on revenge. All four are accidentally buried, frozen in time at the height of battle. 400 years later, they are defrosted and resume their mortal struggle…while also adjusting to modern-day life.

Iceman stars Yen along with Wang Baoqiang, Eva Huang, Yu Kang and Simon Yam. Watch the new trailer and visit the official website for more info!

Watch The New Trailer For For ICEMAN 3D

After roughly a year of production filled with more than it’s share of challenges, it appears things are finally coming together with action star Donnie Yen‘s long-awaited two-part epic reboot thriller, Iceman 3D. And this week, we now have a proper trailer that says so, with a lot more to offer on the film’s narrative than seen in previous footage, and should continue to garner further interest.

Co-directed by The Wrath Of Vajra helmer Law Wing Cheong, Iceman 3D also stars Wang Baoqiang, Eva Huang and Simon Yam, and debuts in Hong Kong on April 17 before it spreads to China a week later, with details still awaiting for the sequel, in addition to Well Go USA’s North American schedule for the film. Stay tuned for more info.

SYNOPSIS:

In the Ming Dynasty, there are four orphans, Ying (Donnie Yen), Yuanlong (Simon Yam), Sao (Wang Baoqiang) and Niehu. Raised in Taoyuan Village, the four are close as brothers. Their exceptional martial arts allow them to reach the highest rank among the imperial guards. They take the order to kill the Japanese troop leader, and return in triumph. The Emperor then orders Ying to escort the Golden Wheel of Time from India back to the capital, which is said to have the power of time travelling and foreseeing the future. On the way of escorting, Ying is set up by his brothers and he chooses to fight against them. The duel has shaken the earth, an avalanche strucks and buries the four. Travelling 400 years in time to modern Hong Kong, Ying meets wasted May (Eva Huang) who gives him shelter.

Yen's 'Last Of The Best' Gets A Face Lift With A New Title

Just hours into international action star Donnie Yen‘s arrival for his appearance at this year’s New York Chinese Film Festival, a new image popped up online courtesy of Yen‘s Weibo account illustrating a name change in for the release of his latest action thriller with co-writer and director Teddy Chen. Previously announced as Last Of The Best, the new film will be simply titled as Kung Fu Killer, a title that sounds a bit more underwhelming than its predecessor, but still leaves a lot to the imagination about just how the film will be sold, which is already now a sharply divisive issue considering the new name.

Ask anyone and you will see what I mean.

Produced by Albert Lee, Last Of The Best Kung Fu Killer will see Yen as a former martial arts instructor imprisoned for the accidental death of another man whose services are once again required when a vicious killer begins targeting martial arts masters in the city. The film will also star fellow Iceman 3D co-star Wang Baoqiang, along with Charlie Yeung, Bai Bing and John Chiang. The film began shooting in May and wrapped later in the summer for a 2014 release date to be announced.

In the meantime, Yen will be in New York City to premiere his new film with director Clarence Fok, Special ID, for the final day of New York Chinese Film Festival on November 7, 2013 at the AMC Empire 25, located at 234, West 42nd street near Times Square. The film is currently awaiting a street date courtesy of U.S. distributor Well Go USA.

Promotion is also underway for the upcoming release of his new 3D adventure, The Monkey King, director Pou Soi-Cheang’s latest spin on the classic Journey To The West tale which is expected to hit Chinese and Hong Kong cinemas on January 31, 2014 prior to its U.S. release on February 14 according to the IMDb page. And lastly, for the first of a two-part movie, Yen and Baoqiang‘s Iceman 3D from director Law Wing-Cheong, is expected to release this April.

Stay tuned for more info.
