Incredibly Kickass Teaser Trailer for the Martial Arts Film THE GRANDMASTERS
Do you want to see a teaser trailer to a martial arts film that will make you very happy? Seriously if you're having a bad day, this trailer will probably brighten it up a bit. This is for the upcoming Martial Arts film from director Wang Kar Wai called The Grandmasters, and it looks like it's gonna be one hell of a kickass fun martial arts flick!
I love the look of this epic fight sequence that takes place in a downpour of rain. This is nothing new, we've seen it several times before even before The Matrix, but it looks like it was done extremely well here. The film is based on Martial Arts legend Yip Man. This is a different take on the legend than Wilson Yip’s 2008 film Ip Man.
Here's the synopsis for the film:
With martial arts getting more popular in the Thirties, more people seek to learn them via the professionals at Foshan in Southern China. Some of the experienced masters like to challenge their counterparts and undergoing battles. To have their whole concentration, it is their practice to lock up the venues and no one is allowed to leave during battles. No food and no rest before reaching any results.
Ip Man is a young rich man extremely talented in martial arts, but he chooses to keep a low profile. Yet this doesn't keep him out of these troubles ahead. One day he is trapped in this battleground so he has to use every means in order to get out of there. The masters are amazed by his abilities. Master Kung and his daughter Kung Yi are amongst, and the latter is attracted to this newcomer.
A high warlord is assassinated by his own guard Yi Xian Tian. All masters in Foshan vow to take Tian down no matter what....
