Hey dear bloggers!!!

I just returned from Dalian having attended the 第17屆中國金雞百花電影節to announce the completion of the shooting of the Legendary Assassin, the team have now proceeded onto the post-production part of the movie! It's soooo exciting!!!

There are some news reports on google in case some of you are interested in reading them!

Do let me know what you think!

I will post a personal blog soon on my take on filming and interesting incidents that'll make you laugh and squint :)

Below are some photos that were sent to me via gmail this morning from the articles on google, do enjoy!

My 10min version of the synopsis

Holly (Celina Jade) is a small-time cop born and bred in an outlying island in prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /Hong Kong. She takes pride in her job even though crime is minuscule there. Every day life as a cop comprises of dealing with the odd villager complaint, bar fights, and lost and found reports. It may seem like a boring life to some, but a responsibility she doesn’t take on lightly.  One seemingly ordinary day, she finds her cat trapped in a tree and climbs up to rescue it. One careless step and she finds herself falling through the air and into the hands of a stranger, Bruce (Wu Jing). prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /

A typhoon unravels and Bruce alongside all the villagers are stuck on the island, he is welcomed by Holly and taken around the island until the two are disrupted by a coincidental confrontation with four convicts on the run. Meanwhile, Holly finds out that Bruce is in fact a Kung Fu Master who has yet again saved her life. He becomes the praise of the town and she is grateful as he gives her the first big break of her career, the goal of someday becoming a CID in the city is now closer to her grasp. Bruce and Holly begin to bond and a subtle yet deep connection is felt between them, although often unspoken. Bruce in his interaction with Holly starts to reflect on his life choices and contemplates the meanings of life.

As the night progresses, the unspoken truce once honored by the two sides of the law is broken. It begins with the discovery of the remains of a body that belonged to a drug lord and syndicate crime leader. It ends up in chaos as criminals ravage the once peaceful streets in a race against time to find the mysterious murderer that roams the island. The small-time cops trapped on the island by the typhoon are now forced to step up their game before help can be reached… and Bruce is nowhere to be found.

What is justice? What is love? And is love alone enough for redemption?

Hey Elhcay! Thanks for the comments! The visuals are beautiful I agree, that's why I really like 潘耀明 as a director of photography, he has an eye for capturing things! The moves on WuJings part are very painful I'm sure, as he mentioned in the press conference, it is really difficult on his part, to fight with wet clothes on as it really weighs down on you and gives you extra baggage to carry with every kick and turn! I had the easier side on things in that scene as I was only being hung, although I have to say having to carry the majority of my weight on my wrists proved to be rather painful, especially since the rope is a 麻繩, but it is nothing compared to what Wu Jing had to endure! It's a really cool scene though! I'm not sure if there will be an official site, I'll ask next time I get a chance :) I wrote a synopsis myself for my English speaking friends and posted it up :) Thanks for dropping by :)

wow, i think i agree w/ Pat, the mandarin version of the trailer seems to have a lot more story... I definitely prefer it. I understand why they did it this way of course. For the international version they're trying to attract the same attention that 'Flashpoint' or 'Ong Bak' got from international action film fans... whereas the Chinese version can afford to show recognizable supporting actors and use some of the plot to attract user interest. When is the release date set for?

coool!!! I just saw that :) The release date is around late November I believe... I see what you mean, I guess different market properties require different trailers and marketing strategies. I wish they'd release it theatrically in London as well so my friends there could watch it hehehe and I get an excuse to visit :) But I guess it's hard with the language barrier... I have no idea how distribution works...

nice. that would be cool if it did get distribution overseas. if you do get to go to london, we can promote it here to the european users! ;-) Actually i'm quite sure you'd be welcome to make the rounds at Asian film festivals abroad... San Francisco or New York perhaps? ;-) actually probably what will happen is Miramax or another distributor will buy the rights (if they haven't already) and release it on DVD in a couple months. I think this type of film could do pretty well on DVD in the US and Europe.
