Domestic Trailer for the Martial Arts Film THE GRANDMASTERS
Here's the first domestic trailer for Wong Kar-wai‘s new martial arts epic The Grandmasters. We've seen a few international trailers over the past few months, but this one has some new footage previously not seen.
The fight choreography was done by Yuen Woo-ping, and it's based on martial arts legend Ip Man. It stars Tony Leung, Zhang Ziyi, Chang Chen, Zhao Benshan, and Song Hye Gyo.
The movie comes out on August 23rd in the U.S., and it looks like there's going to be some jaw dropping fight sequences, which is expected from these kinds of films.
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.
