Chen Kaige’s extravagant fantasy adventure, Legend Of The Demon Cat, is coming soon on DVD and Blu-Ray. I’m largely bewildered by its quiet U.S. acquisition given its positive, but it’s nice to see this particular title planting its feet for the U.S.
Following its release in North America last Friday, moviegoers have just a few days left to ring in the Year of the Pig as of today, Tuesday, February 5, with a select theatrical release from myCinema of Chen Kaige’s fantasy adventure, Legend Of The Demon Cat. Celebrated Palme d’Or winning filmmaker Chen Kaige, directs the sweeping historical drama, based on the novel, Gensoshin Kukai, by best-selling Japanese fantasy writer Yumemakura Baku.
Actors Sometani Shota and Xuang Huan lead the cast for the film’s immersive fantasy setting which is also slated to be an amusement park for lucky attendees. The film will set forth its China release on December 22 preceding its subsequent rollout in February 2018.
The 30th Tokyo International Film Festival is gearing up for a spectacular presentation of its line-up. Films like Fumihiko Sori’s upcoming December release of manga adaptation, Fullmetal Alchemist, as well as screenings of Chen Kaige’s sprawling fantasy, Legend Of The Demon Cat, Travis Knight’s Kubo And The Two Strings, Hara Keiichi’s 2015 anime movie, Miss Houksai, and Steve Soderbergh’s crime comedy, Logan Lucky, are just a morsel of what attendees can expect when the fest launches on October 25.
The Monk Comes Down The Mountain helmer, BAFTA award-winning director Chen Kaige is going big, it seems. For his latest period action drama, Legend Of The Demon Cat, we get an entire, immersive city built accordingly as the backdrop for the film, and to much avail with the intent of its use thereafter as a themepark.
