Take a scoop of Steampunk & a scoop of Kung Fu - and you get TAI CHI 0 trailer!
Hey folks, Harry here... I love films like these. Movies that create an entire fantasy universe for themselves. Too often I feel directors are trying to make things ordinary instead of extraordinary. Here you have Jet Li producing a genre hopping reboot of his own TAI CHI series with Sammo Hung choreography... Starring Daniel Wu and Tony Leung. TAI CHI 0 is coming to theaters mid October compliments of WELL GO USA, but will debut up at the Toronto International Film Festival this September. Personally, I can't wait to hear how it plays up there, especially after this trailer:

very pretty..... but can it fight?

But, more importantly, did anyone else see the pics of the Larry/Lana half of the Wachowski Brother(s)? I mean, seriously? OK, I (maybe) get the reassignment thingy, but what is up with those pink dreadlocks? And, how much helium does (s)he inhale to sound like that? Just sayin...

Won't be worth the hype

When do we get the American version of the Chinese reboot of a good Chinese original movie? Harry, this reboot thing is spreading, each one that gets made probably kills a good original movie that the studios are afraid to bankroll.

but the footage between the black flashes looked good.
-
Jet Li dances with a woman? BULLSHIT.

color-grading, one or two genres more in the mix an of cours a much faster editing and cutting... this one was too slow by faaaar...!

Looks alot like the videogame Jade Empire from like 2004... That game also had a steampunk/kung fu-mix. And it was awesome.

Steampunk has a real breakout genre chance, if folks don't blow it.
by impossibledreamers
Sherlock Holmes teased with it very well without going over the top.
