9 Minute Promo Reel Of Red Cliff
We have a new 9 minute clip today for John Woo’s historical battle epic Red Cliff! We get the following clip and film info from our friends at slashfilm:
Over the weekend a 9-minute Cannes promo reel for John Woo’s Red Cliff showed up online. The 4-hour 2-episode $80 million epic adaptation of The Battle of Red Cliffs is the biggest budget Chinese film ever to be greenlit. Red Cliff stars Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Zhang Fengyi, Chang Chen, Hu Jun, Lin Chi-ling and Zhao Wei.
I like John Woo’s work and I am pumped to see his skills put to work in an epic 2 part war film with swords, spears and arrows. No word is out yet when this film will make it to North America, but we will continue to scour the web for information regarding its release. I love a good epic, and this one looks like it has the potential to be outstanding.
The Playstation series Dynasty Warriors is kinda based on this war
Heh…being a Dynasty Warriors fan, I’ve been waiting for this since it was first announced. Looks like it might be very interesting.
more like Romance of the Three Kingdoms which led to Dynasty Warriors
I love KOEI games.
This movie is only $80 milliion? Damn, it looks like they squeezed every penny.
Thank Crom that Mr Woo got out of America. Please make a great movie again Mr Woo; it’s been over ten years since you have. I know you can do it.
true shit phil gee….hollywood almost ruined mr woo….only good he did over here was face-off…and to a point MI 2
If it is the best 9 minutes, it is going to be a very long film. Westerners may need to do some research about the tactics used by Zhugi Liang in the film before watching it. Hope John Woo won’t be ruined by big money from China this time. An other grand project by China to raise national pride.
