'DEADLINE GALLIPOLI' TRAILER
1ST CASUALTY OF WAR IS TRUTH
A week or two ago I introduced you to new Australian historical TV series GALLIPOLI on the famous World War One battle, but there is also another project being prepared on the same subject. DEADLINE
GALLIPOLI has a much more star studded cast lead by Sam Worthington, Hugh Dancy, Charles Dance, Rachel Griffitths 
and Bryan Brown! To air Down Under this April in four episodes the four-part series explores the Gallipoli Campaign legend from the point of view of war correspondents who lived through the campaign and bore
witness to the extraordinary events that unfolded on the shores of Gallipoli in 1915. These were the first truly embedded war 
correspondents whose defiance ignited a change in the campaign’s course and whose commitment to the stories of the men turned the war from a strategic failure into a triumph of the human spirit.

The fantasy movie looks really good!!!! I like when there is a story behind all of the action. :)
ReplyDeleteand so many stunning scenes in it, I could watch it ten times on and on
DeleteI hear China is really motivated to make their own movies than for Western movies to dominate the silver screens. Same thing with cartoon characters too, which I hear they're having a tougher time with
ReplyDeletethat goes for most of the freedom loving countries around the world. France, Russia, China, Serbia... always have domestic movies breaking records instead of the US ones.
DeleteFollowing on what Adam said -- In Canada, we try to make our own movies too. It's not making them that's the issue -- it's distributing them. All the movie screens are owned by the American cinema chains and they give only minimal space to our own Canadian movies. So there's never any hope of making money off them and it discourages our domestic industry.
ReplyDeleteit's different here, all cinemas are extremely happy to air domestic movies because they're the only ones that bring hundreds of thousands of people into the cinemas
DeleteZHOG KUI definitely looks interesting - very visual, but a simple story at its heart.
ReplyDeleteso very beautiful visually!
DeleteZhog Zui looks amazing. Serious effects like I never seen.
ReplyDeleteAmerican movie houses/industry are such pigs.
No truth - no win, ever.
not just movie houses.... what to expect from a Nazi country which invades other countries in order to exploit them....
DeleteThe first movie looks stunning.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy historicals. I wish I could sit down and watch a marathon of them.
now that would be a nice weekend of epic movies
DeleteZHOG KUI- what a fabulous trailer! I agree with Dixi. The visual effects and costumes are stunning!
ReplyDeleteand choreographies too... some scenes were so amazing that they left my head spinning
DeleteThose Snow Girl pics are epic. The costuming is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteIt will be such a thrill to watch it!
DeleteThe firsy Snow girl's picture is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteagreed!
DeleteI doubt I'll see the Chinese movie, so I'll just enjoy its beauty here. I thought of you last weekend when we went to the movies. I'd see a movie trailer and think, "I haven't seen that on Dezmond's blog yet!"
ReplyDeletethose Asian movies do get US distribution sometime later in the year.
DeleteYep, you haven't seen a movie trailer here if it is too bloodthirsty, action, superhero or offensive :)
The 'Deadline Gallipoli' looks interesting but even with Worthington people here are a bit jaded with yet another movie on it, particularly of the made-for-TV variety, no matter how accurate the portrayal. We're just going through one at the moment which is (in my opinion) brilliantly done but the combination of viewer boredom with war movies plus the relentless ads that pollute anything worth watching on free-to-air TV combine to make it a complete ratings flop. Which is a real pity as its worth watching as we commemorate the centenary of Australia's 'baptism of fire' as a nation at Gallipoli. Still, the presence of Worthington may pull a few bored hausefraus with 'Deadline'... (as will Rachel Griffiths for me! ;-)
ReplyDeletenot to mention that ANZAC GIRLS series which also deals with the same topic :)
DeleteDancy would be the one pulling me to watch it in my case :)
Okay Snow Girl has the best trailer of 2015. Screw Avengers 2, this is the movie to see. Oh my God that was...there is no words...are you frigging serious? My mind is not blown...my whole body is!! Galli who?
ReplyDeleteI've always thought that Asian movies are so much ahead of any of the American ones, not just in visuals but also in depth and emotions.
