B&E 2011 : On and upward!
With our wonderful family and fun filled holidays over, I return to our production grindstone with renewed energy.
As you may have seen, our first foray into 3D animation, working with the fantabulous Charlie Wong and Tony Tang at T-Films, was in Hong Kong cinemas just before Christmas (which fits, as its an Xmas tale about a little reindeer's quest for Santa!). It'll be out on DVD soon. Those of you with young kids or looking for a great film to get stoned to, here it is! (For the latter, it worked better in 3D, but still...)
More importantly, 'Blood Bond : Shadowguard' hits theatres January 27th for a limited run. Check press for details! Its definitely going to be in the Golden Harvest Hollywood and UA Megabox. This was the first 'official' AnD supported feature (check the credits for an on-screen name check). Its since been sold around the world, we're working on the sequel (see below) and its great to have it (briefly) on the big-screen in our home town.
Now, there are some films that enlighten, dazzle and enrich you, there are some that change your mind and heart, there are some that glitter in your memory forever... 'Shadowguard' is not one of those movies. However, if you're looking for a great beer'n'pizza flick (sneak these items of food and beverage into the theatre, tell them I said its okay, Simon Yin, this means you...) this is your movie! Kick ass battling babe action, Michael Biehn grizzled and growling and (of course!) the great Andrew Ng. It gets no better... (Great beer and pizza flick, trust me on this, and you can also get stoned to this one...)
I'll be writing further blogs with updates on 'Beach Spike!', the sequel to 'Shadowguard', 'Red Dawn Rising', and about my upcoming directorial debut, 'Snowblade' so stay tuned!
