7TH CENTURY CHINA
Told by an Old Sage, a Western monk who travelled from Europe to China in the 7th Century. He tells the tale to two children, one Chinese,
the other from the West who come across the monk in a cave on a
remote mountainside above the Eastern Ocean. The monk is the current
keeper of a hundred painted scrolls, each describing an event in the
Monkey King's life. Our dear Shaun Smith is creature and special makeup
effects supervisor in this one as well!

Interesting that the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" sequel will be on NetFlix! Looks good! I enjoyed the original movie.
ReplyDeleteand in selected IMAX cinemas :) It does look more TVish than cinemaish
DeleteThese images are spectacular, and I'm so glad Netflix will have the sequel for CTHD. Yay!
ReplyDeletemore fun for the crowds
DeleteThat yellow beard looks ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteKind of looks like a strange human Aslan.
Deletetis the Monkey King, show some respect :) That is how he looks in their legends, you two just aren't used to it
DeleteThat must be it. You are clearly as wise as the Monkey King. I prefer to be the Penguin King.
DeleteMy wisdom is as wide as the galaxy itself, my paduan
DeleteI thought the first was over-rated
ReplyDeletecan't say I agree, Adam.
DeleteThat pig eared guy in the Monkey King 2 trailer kind of needed better CGI or costuming. Whichever it was I kind of taken out of the experience because he looked fake. Most of the trailer looked amazing and that staff was the true star as far as I am concerned.
ReplyDeleteI saw the CTHD2 trailer earlier today on Beyond the trailer (hosted by Grace Randolph) on Youtube. She ripped it to shreds. Apparently the tv ish look did not sit well with her after that eye popping first movie. I think it still looks pretty amazing though.
Wouldn't say he looked fake, that is just the way Chinese effects work, their visuals are a bit different... and in most cases better.
DeleteI'm also a bit reserved when it comes to CROUCHING TIGER sequel, it does look a bit cheap in the trailer... no wonder it is a TV production... I thought it would be a cinematic movie at first. Now it looks a bit like an adaptation of a video game
I never saw the first, but I guess that might be good after seeing Adam's comment.
ReplyDeleteIgnore what Adam said ;) You should see both that one and especially THE CURSE OF THE GOLDEN FLOWER which is my fave of the Asian flicks.. and THE HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS too!
DeleteI usually agree with Adam in his taste of films, but I'll take your word for it Dezzy. I'll have to see if they are on Netflix now.
DeleteTHE CURSE OF THE GOLDEN FLOWER is dominated by golden and violet colours... I thought my eyes went to a spa :) The same as when watching GREEN LANTERN :)
DeleteStunning imagery!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day,
-Kati
lovely posters, aren't they?
DeleteI never saw the first Crouching Tiger movie. I remember when it was all the rage!
ReplyDeleteit was a lovely movie... at least visually. The first one to bring back Asian flicks onto the world stage again
DeleteI'm with Stephanie, I never saw it! But, maybe I should have since #2 is already on its way.
ReplyDeleteyou probably won't regret it!
DeleteI'm with the above to ladies. I think we watch part one only when the two is about to be released!
ReplyDeleteExcept Godfather ofcourse ;)
I have never seen Godfather :) I refuse to watch mafia movies!
DeleteStunning promo material. I'd like to see the first Crouching Tiger movie.
ReplyDeleteglad you like it!
