ASIAN TUESDAY: MINDBLOWING TRAILER FOR CHINESE FANTASY "PAINTED SKIN 2: RESSURECTION" AND FOR CHINESE EPIC "HARA KIRI"!
Ah, my dear freaks, we've had a very dry period when it comes to movie news for a whole summer now, and it seems it's getting worse, so the only things I have to give you today are two Asian trailers, for two visually stunning epics.
I've already introduced you with this film before, but now it is out worldwide and we have the second, marvellous and super stunning clip too: it is for PAINTED SKIN 2: THE RESSURECTION a rather stunning mix of vampire and fantasy film. According to demon lore, it takes hundreds of years to attain human form. Even then, lacking a human heart, a demon cannot experience the true pains and passions of existence. However, there is a legend that if a pure human heart is freely offered to a demon, it can become a mortal and
experience true life. This obviously gorgeous film will be released in China this June, and will have a worldwide release later on. Apparently most of the actors from the first film are coming back but in different roles and in a different story. In the sequel, Wang Sheng (originally played by Chen Kun) and Wang Ying, son of Wang Sheng and Pei Rong (originally played by Zhao Wei) travel westward to explore and reencounter the fox spirit Xiao Wei along the way. The film looks like LORD OF THE RINGS in the eyes of Tarsem Singh :) It could be the most magnificent Asian trailer I've ever seen in my life!
(13 ASSASSINS) comes the story of a mysterious samurai who arrives at the doorstep of his feudal lord, requesting an honorable death by ritual suicide in his courtyard. The lord threatens him with the brutal tale of Motome, a desperate young ronin who made a similar request with ulterior motives, only to meet a grisly end. Undaunted, the samurai begins to tell a story of his own, with an ending no one could see coming. With stunning cinematography and gripping performances, HARA-KIRI: DEATH OF A SAMURAI is a thrilling exploration of revenge, honor, and individuality in the face of oppressive power.
Dez San, you have brought lot of happiness to mine with this post. The family will feel proud about you now.
ReplyDeleteHara-kira and painted skin, look so much pure fun and lot of pride and respect for the fight, all must watch for the zen of life. Saynora Dez, I must seek your permission to take leave now.
oh, I thought you'd end with saying My Imperial Dezziness is the sun of your East and the Peony of your Garden :)
DeleteDezziness Imperial San, I have brought shame to the family. I give up and I will take sushi for next two months with soyasauce.
ReplyDeleteand with hot mustard.... it is a huge sin after all....
DeleteI'd go see Hara-Kiri if it makes it to our theatres up here.
ReplyDeletefingers crossed that it does!
DeleteThey look great but not sure I'd watch them, then again probably would given half the chance, still they all seem to have a certain structure they always follow or something like that.
ReplyDeleteNo they don't cat. These aren't formula films like American cinema, they're art. Silly cat go eat some poo and you'll feel better.
Delete@Cat
Deletepfft, as if the producers need you watching their film :P
@Annzie
Deletedon't waste your energy, sister, his idea of art is making sand castles in his litter box and you can imagine what he uses as the adhesive.....
LOL at least I make her use her imagination.
DeleteI wish you were just a figment of my imagination Cat, but you're not. You're real. As real as the smell of poo after the Hubby takes a really big shit and forgets to flush it.
Deleteoh, don't tell me he does that? At least you get to spank his bum playfully when he leaves you a floater :)
Deletewow... amazing visuals!! I hope I get the opportunity to watch these films.
ReplyDeleteyep, the first one has the most mind blowing visuals I've ever seen! I will watch it with my jaws open!
DeleteI love samurai films
ReplyDeleteand they love you too :P
DeleteI'm not a fan of samurai films. They make me dizzy with all their fighting and twirling ;) lol
ReplyDeletethe first one was more for you than the second one, Jaxy!
DeleteWow, Painted Skin is freaky...but stunning.
ReplyDeleteultra stunning, I'm still stunned by it, it's bigger than LORD OF THE RINGS
DeleteI have offered many demons human hearts but they never accept. It must be the gift wrapping I put on it.
ReplyDeletenot everybody likes toast, you know :P
DeleteI love Asian films usually. My friend has been telling me about Hara-Kiri for a while so I'll have to see it.
ReplyDeletesee the first one too, that's the bigger one!
DeleteI feel sorry for anyone who doesn't give these films a chance, particularly Painted Skin because you'll be missing out on an epic cinematic experience. That and a look into a culture that is ancient, steeped in tradition yet is informed by Western culture. It's a perfect mix for enlightenment and pleasure.
ReplyDeleteyep, you don't see that kind of creativity and imagination often at the big screens. Such a huge visual treat and plus there's the look into Asian mythology which is always fun and informative.
DeleteThe Fox myth's are one of my favorites along with the Toad myths. After that is the spirits of the Peach Trees. Would this film be classified as magical realism
Delete(My question mark key is broken too).
those sound very mysterious, Annzie! Have you tried unplugging and plugging the keyboard from the computer or do we have to buy a new one? :)
DeleteThe premise of Hara Kiri sounds really interesting.
ReplyDeleteglad you like it
DeleteBoth of these sound really intriguing. I'll have to keep an eye out for them.
ReplyDeleteHow are you doing? Are you surviving all this heat? I'm boiling right now. Too bad nothing is melting off, LOL. :)
don't ask, sister Melsy, we've been having 117*F for the whole week and it will be hellish like that for whole July. And I can't believe our pounds aren't melting at such heat.... maybe we need some sexing up so that we would burn both inside and outside? Double attack on the pounds? Now, we only need some hunky pound burners....
Delete:D
Deletewhat are you laughing, sheriff, you and your fresh weather in Colorado :))
DeleteThese types of films aren't my cup of tea but my boys love them!
ReplyDeleteI just read how hot it's been there...remind me not to complain about our near 100 degree heat. My poor, Dezzy!
it's like living in the oven :) I feel like a vanilla cookie, overbaked both out and inside :)
DeleteI'm sending you two sizzling hot models with buckets of ice cubes to help cool you down =P
Deleteyou should've put them in the fridge for a while and let their skin cool me down when they come over :)
Deletelooks cool.....probably good movie blasted on the theater
ReplyDeleteglad you think so, Mack!
DeleteI need to start putting together a TBW list (To Be Watched). Wow, these are totally my kind of movies to watch.
ReplyDelete......dhole
you must not miss them, Donnzie!
DeleteI have never watched a Chinese film, but Painted Skin looks so stunning that I can't help wanting to watch it.
ReplyDeleteI really hope it gets a U.S. release.
it is very stunning like most of their films are
DeleteBoth movies look great!! but I am more interested with Hara Kiri as I love Samurai so much!! and Eita is one of the actors too....his a great actor.
ReplyDeleteToo bad Hara Kiri most likely will never be shown here :( I will have to find its DVD or Torrentz
