While I’m definitely for Asian take over, along with my quirks of never really falling for Manga, I also don’t particularly care for action films that come from the East. There are certainly examples that I think are outstanding films, but I’m not at all the guy that gets hyped over a certain performer and watches every movie they make no matter how bad the actual movie is (I sometimes wonder if this is a product of the rise of popularity of MMA and the and the like). I don’t know, I’ve had my ass kicked a time or two (and if I can say so myself have dotted some eyes in my day) so I find that I have little fascination with watching people hit and choke each other. That said, this trailer for The Warrior’s Way -which clocks in at almost 4 minutes- looks awesome. A mixture of Western, fantasy and asskickery.
Directed and written by Sngmoo Lee and starring Kate Bosworth, Danny Huston, Geoffrey Rush with Dong-Kun Jang in the main role, this actually has a decent budget at almost $50 million. It’s also being produced by Barrie M. Osborne (The Lord of the Rings) and had another name, The Laundry Warrior, attached to it.
So far no release date or distributor, but I hope that changes soon!
