D-War Trailer

D-War is a film that I've been following with much anticipation for the last year or so. I was surprised to find out that a much cleaner version of the D-War trailer had become available and I let it slip under my nose. But oh well... that happens. Not sure what D-War is?

“D-War” is a special effects sci-fi pic which combines Korean folklore, US actors and production talent wrapped up in a tight Korean digital effects package. The film is the story of a huge, giant serpent that devastates Los Angeles in its hunt for a girl who can transform it into a dragon.
This film looks like a whole boat load of fun. According to M&C; the film cost a whopping $145 million to produce (honestly... the move does look like fun... but the effects aren't THAT good).

Oh yes! Giant dragons and serpents destroying LA! Now that's a fun Saturday afternoon my friends! D-War (Dragon War) opens at Cannes in May. To see the D-War trailer you can go here.

You're right, the effects are not that good. I guess Lord of the Rings spoiled us. Too bad the entire film didn't take place in ancient times like in the beginning of the trailer instead being a Godzilla ripoff.

This really reminded me of the stv classic Boa Vs. Python but with better CG. I do like some korean movies but they also make as many good ones as bad ones and Im guessing by the amaturish look of that trailer this one will be not so good.

What a horrible name too, they should call this Korea vs. Python.
