Yimou Zhang, celebrated director of Hero (2002) and House of Flying Daggers (2004) has a new wuxia (martial heroes) action movie.

Starring Chao Deng, Li Sun, Ryan Zheng and set in a kingdom ruled by a young and unpredictable king, the military commander has a secret weapon, a look-alike who can fool both his enemies and the king himself.

The visuals in this trailer are impressive and the story has me curious. Yet, I must still confess that I’m probably most looking forward to the spectacle of the ‘bladed umbrella weapon.’ I’m ready.

Qianyuan Wang, Jingchun Wang, Jun Hu, Xiaotong Guan, Lei Wu and Bai Feng also star.

Shadow Release Dates : May 3rd, 2019 (US)…

Matt Damon’s latest movie is about the construction of The Great Wall of China.

Directed by Yimou Zhang; the film is a thriller/mystery that also stars Pedro Pascal, Willem Dafoe, Andy Lau and Tian Jing.

Trailer 1

Trailer 2

I’ll tune in because of Damon and Pascal, the latter of whom just happens to have played Oberyn Martell, my favourite character in Game Of Thrones.

The visuals in the first trailer are beautiful. However, I do find the edit and textual interruptions annoying. May the finished product be a far more positive experience.

The great Wall Release Dates: December, 2016 (CH); February 17th, 2017 (US); February 24th, 2017 (UK)…
