| Takashi Miike is back with bloody horror film ‘Over Your Dead Body’ Posted: 27 Jun 2014 12:48 PM PDT  "Over Your Dead Body" Japanese Theatrical Poster As advance pictures of Yakuza Apocalypse can attest to, Takashi Miike is back in fine form and doing what he does best: delivering mind-blowing and extreme Asian cinema. Along those lines, the trailer for Over Your Dead Body hit the web today. In this atmospheric and gory-looking horror film, we follow two young stage actors who find their roles bleeding over (no pun intended) into their real lives. It’s been quite some time since Takashi Miike has played in the horror realm, despite making quite a name for himself with films like One Missed Call (which even saw a subpar Hollywood remake) and his notorious Masters of Horror episode Imprint, not to mention his modern horror classic Audition. Based on the trailer, Miike appears to be pulling out all the stops with Over Your Dead Body. Fans can expect the film in Japanese theaters this August ’14. Thanks to Twitch for the news. |
| Trailer for Lu Yang’s wuxia actioner ‘Brotherhood of Blades’ Posted: 27 Jun 2014 12:34 AM PDT  "Brotherhood of Blades" Chinese Theatrical Poster After receiving much acclaim for 2010′s My Spectacular Theatre and 2012′s A Motor Home Adventure, Lu Yang is back for his third directorial outing: a wuxia action film titled Brotherhood of Blades, which stars Chang Chen (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and Cecilia Liu (Badges of Fury). Jaynestars has the plot: Set in the late Ming Dynasty, Brotherhood of Blades tells of three close friends (Chang Chen, Wang Qianyuan, and Li Dongxue) who serve as Jinyiwei guards. They are dispatched by a palace eunuch (Nie Yuan) to hunt down Wei Zhongxian (Jin Shijie), a eunuch politician who had been forced to resign from his influential post and exiled from Beijing. The Jinyiwei brothers return successfully from their quest, only to find that their task was but the beginning of a strange conspiracy. Brotherhood of Blades is getting a domestic release on August 7. We’re sure Well Go USA has its eye on this one for a North American distribution. For now, you can watch the trailer. – Thanks to Jaynestars and Film Combat Syndicate |

| Want a ‘Pacific Rim 2,’ kaiju fans? You’ll get it April 7, 2017! Posted: 26 Jun 2014 12:53 PM PDT  "Pacific Rim" Japanese Theatrical Poster Last summer’s ‘giant monsters vs. mech’ film Pacific Rim proved to be a modest hit worldwide, grossing $400 million on a budget of about half that. The movie arrived in theaters with plenty of internet buzz, thanks in part to the reputation of director Guillermo Del Toro (Hellboy, Blade II). Now Del Toro is assuring fans that, if they keep their fingers crossed, we might just get Pacific Rim 2. The acclaimed Pan’s Labyrinth filmmaker recently stated that he is working on a screenplay with Zak Penn (X-Men: The Last Stand), and that Charlie Hunnam and Rinko Kikuchi’s characters will be returning. In the past, Del Toro has teased that a sequel might involve humans ‘drifting’ (kind of a telepathic link) with a kaiju, or giant monster, and the kaiju/mech that would result from such a connection. Fans of the first film, we ask: what would you like to see in a Pacific Rim 2? Updates: According to Collider, Guillermo del Toro is returning to the director’s chair for Pacific Rim 2, which has a set release date for April 7, 2017. |
