ReplyDeleteHappy hollidays DEZ!
Greetings
Peter
it is such a unique epic movie, can't wait to see it next year!
DeleteEpic is right! And who doesn't love Jackie Chan? :)
ReplyDeleteI prefer Adrien in that combo :)
DeleteIt will be interesting, for sure
ReplyDeletetotally!
DeleteBeautiful cinematography. Those long shots on the desert remind me of the sweeping shots filmed in Lawrence of Arabia which was a visual feast.
ReplyDeleteAs a bonus, I know nothing of this story so it will be great to learn something new.
And then there's Brody......
I do believe this one will be a visual spectacle, dear! The trailer also shows amazing costumes and armours too, the only thing that I didn't like in the trailer is Cusack's horrid American accent, it is so extreme!
DeleteSeeing Cusack in the cast was a bit of a surprise to me. He doesn't strike me as being an athletic sort and he's dreadfully ugly.
DeleteI've heard he is quite pompous at the sets, dear.
DeleteUnless he's incredibly well hung, I've no idea what he's got to be pompous about :)
Deleteit might be the exact opposite, dear :) Some men do compensate for lil' dick with big egos :)
DeleteSomething to look forward to, Dezzz.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely
DeleteNot that I find it easy to take Jackie Chan seriously. I don't know why that is. A character flaw?
Deletenobody takes him seriously, not even his kids... one of them is a drug addict.....
DeleteNo shit.
Deleteyep, got arrested last year for possessing drugs in Hong Kong
DeleteThat looks epic! I would have never imagined Jackie Chan and Adrian Brody in the same movie.
ReplyDeleteI remember everybody being shocked about it two years ago when I announced it
DeleteLooks worth the wait. I agree - the American accent is totally out of place.
ReplyDeletethere are some actors who just don't fit epic movies due to their accents, like when Sam Worthington was Perseus with a strong Australian accent :) At least make it British because it sounds more classic
DeleteDefinitely an epic.
ReplyDeletea total one
DeleteI always hate the lull in movie news after the holidays. I am suffering a massive cold right now, but if I can get better by tomorrow, we are going to go see Into the Woods. Fingers crossed I don't sleep all day again like I did the past 2 days!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed! For some reason INTO THE WOODS ain't doing overly good in the cinemas in USA and it seems that horrid Angelina and her UNBROKEN will get the second spot with THE HOBBIT again at Number one leaving WOODS on the third place. Such a shock. Why wouldn't people go see a nice musical with their families during holidays?
DeleteProbably because we are sick of our families by now lol. Just kidding! Today I was worse than the other 2 days, so we didn't get to go. I am so bummed as I was looking forward to seeing that movie all week. Now I'll have to wait until next weekend :(
DeleteDezzz, give her a magic pill! And a hot cocoa. :)
DeleteTheresa, that could be the reason :) How can you get so ill when you ate all that honey this month??? Did you just shoot the bottles and didn't eat it? :)
DeleteIt's not my kind of movie but it looks like one that will go over well!
ReplyDeleteit will be a worldwide hit, although it doesn't have a US date not that you'd go see it LOL
DeleteIt'll be interesting to see John Cusack in this type of role.
ReplyDeleteShould be super fun!
DeleteCusack? Well, at least he can act. Sort of.
Deletesort of... not....
DeleteMy son loves Jackie Chan. I will tell him to check this one out. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletehe will love it!
DeleteDragon Blade i love this movie and all movies with Jackie Chan !
ReplyDeleteCheers .
doesn't it look superfun?
