Crazy Cool Trailer For The Chinese Fantasy Adventure Action Film LEGEND OF THE ANCIENT SWORD From the Director of DIE HARD 2
This upcoming Chinese film Legend of the Ancient Sword looks like a blast! This is a fantasy adventure action film that comes from director Renny Harlin. He has previously brought us films such as Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger, Cutthroat Island, The Long Kiss Goodnight, Deep Blue Sea, Exorcist: The Beginning, and 12 Rounds. This is definitely different from anything he's done before and the trailer that you can watch below is so damn cool!
The film is based on the video game Gu Jian Qi Tan 2, the story centers around a young student of a lost martial arts form called "Yan" and he embarks on a journey to find a great master. As you'll see, the trailer teases some great visually stunning fight sequences. Here's the synopsis:
Due to a fateful occurrence, Yue Wuyi leaves home. He meets revered master Xie Yi, who imparts to him the magical arts of Yan, and thus begins his journey of cultivation. Along the way he meets Wen Renyu, Xia Yize, Ah Ruan and company. They discover the schemes and conspiracies of Shen Ye, the grand priest of Liu Yue City. The group of adventurers undergoes dangers to defeat Shen Ye, and prevent a disaster from befalling the world.
Legend of the Ancient Sword is set to be released in China in October, but there's no word on when it will hit the US. All I know is that I'm excited to watch it when it is made available to watch! Watch the trailer and tell us what you think!
