Is AGE OF WUSHU Getting A Movie?

AGE OF WUSHU Game Trailer

It is been a lengthy, extended, extended time given that my hands have touched a video game of any type. But I constantly enjoyed them when I was much younger, especially the usual favorites like Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, the very first 3 Marvel vs. Capcom installments, etc. That said, anytime these types of games end up with a film deal, there are always fair opinions on them, but it really is usually exciting to see how somebody applies their creativity in bringing that level of fantasy to a cinema platform, no matter whether it takes a live-action approach, or if it makes use of a CGI-based approach similar to that of director Youichi Mori's 2011 epic fighting thriller, Tekken: Blood Vengeance.

At any price, opinions or not, the trend continues with films like Spy Hunter, Assassin's Creed, Mortal Kombat and the next Resident Evil chapter on the way. And joining that list, is another game I'm not practically familiar with called Age Of Wushu.

The game orginally took five years to create ahead of its launch in China beneath its original title, The Age Of Wulin. In April of this year, the game at some point made its way to America under its new title, courtesy of Snail Games USA.

Age Of Wushu is described as an intricate, Wuxia-style huge multiplayer web game set in China throughout the 15th century below the Ming Dynasty exactly where players can choose a character to develop in between a single of eight schools, and one of 17 life professions on which to survive and thrive ranging anywhere from caligrapher to herbalist and poison maker. But not for absolutely nothing, as Hero Complicated describes it, "it nonetheless comes down to the fighting."

The folks over at Flesh Eating Zipper acquired a statement from the founder and chairman of Snail Games USA, Shi Hai, who spoke extremely of the most current move for the game as it inches its way toward the massive screen. "The Age of Wushu game appears and plays like a key martial arts motion picture so bringing the house to movie screens is a logical evolution,” he says. “Our objective has usually been for the home to attain the widest audience so evolving to a feature film and expanding the expertise to consoles and mobile devices continues our plan."

If that is the case, then I'm already sold. But what is much more compelling is the film's use of Jet Li's likeness in the game. Even though that could not necessarily imply a starring function for the newly somewhat-retired actor, ideal identified for high-profile martial arts action classic films like the As soon as Upon A Time In China film series, Fist Of Legend, Black Mask, Lethal Weapon four, Kiss Of The Dragon, Unleashed (a.k.a. Danny The Dog), Fearless, The Forbidden Kingdom, both installments of The Expendables so far, and the high-wired buddy cop action flick, Badges Of Fury. But that does not necessarily mean he won't play some type of an active function, becoming the game's spokesperson.

Anyway, all hype aside, if we see much more headlines about this home and interest remains for the folks at Snail Games USA it will be protected to say this film will sooner or later come about. But what do you consider?

Query 1: Are you searching forward to Age Of Wushu on film?

Question two: If so, do you favor live-action or a CG animated function?

Question 3: Who would you like to see cast for a prospective reside-action version for the film?

Well Go Delivers Its New Trailer For The US Release Of DRUG WAR

Director Johnnie To's latest crime thriller, Drug War, is set to hit choose screens this summer season, with Nicely Go USA and Variance teaming up to premiere the film in New York, Los Angeles and Canada between July 26 and August 9. The film, starring Louis Koo as a drug lord who is forced to go undercover to assist police finish a major cocaine ring, was a box workplace accomplishment back in April and was a major seller at the European Film Marketplace earlier this year, so I am inclined to think this film is fairly excellent. But, I digress, and will wait for its release to judge for myself.

The film also stars Sun Honglei, Wallace Chung, Guangjie Li, Michelle Ye, Xiao Cong, Yin Zhusheng, Gao Yunxiang, Crystal Huang, Wang Siya and Siu Fai Cheung.

SYNOPSIS:

Manufacturing just fifty grams of meth in China will earn you a death sentence, and Timmy Choi (Louis Koo) has manufactured tons of it. After a violent lab accident, he's in the custody of Captain Zhang (Sun Honglei), and now he has only one opportunity to stay away from execution: turn informant and support Zhang's undercover team take down the powerful cartel he's been cooking for.  But as the uneasy allies are forced to compress months of police work into just 72 sleepless hours, the increasingly desperate police are speedily stretched previous their limits.  As things spin wildly out of manage, the line among duty and recklessness is blurred, and it becomes unclear whether the cop or the criminal really has the upper hand.

Lengthy regarded the master of the Hong Kong crime thriller, Johnnie To's very first mainland production eschews "two guns at when" mayhem in favor of atmosphere and a tightly-wound plot punctuated with impeccably choreographed bursts of violence, making DRUG WAR an intricate puzzle box of a film that ignited a firestorm of controversy in its homeland.

Film Of The Week: THE LONE RANGER (2013)

SYNOPSIS:

The Lone Ranger rides once again with this big-price range Walt Disney Images production starring Johnny Depp as Tonto and Armie Hammer as the famed gunman. The story centers on Tonto's recollection of the adventures that found lawman John Reid transformed into The Lone Ranger, legendary hero of the Old West.

I did not grow up watching a lot of Westerns, but I am familar with the genre in my personal years as a film follower. So, in coming out of producer/director Gore Verbinski's newest film, The Lone Ranger, I was not also familiar with the original source material, but I liked it. The film has its very good and undesirable moments, some stale moments that leave you waiting to want a lot more, and some moments exactly where it certainly counted to remain for the finale.

Gore applies his usual penchant for comedic high jinx and spectacular stunts, such is what he is identified for largely in his Pirates Of The Caribbean film series. Accordingly, his pivotal choice for actor/co-executive producer Johnny Depp to play the function of eccentric commanche warrior, Tonto, serves the film effectively, as Depp is able to naturally transform himself into bigger-than-life roles, something he has established throughout his entire film profession. Armie Hammer plays the title character and center of Tonto's narration, John Reed, a studious prosecutor who arrives back property and is all of a sudden deputized by his ranger brother, Dan, only to be presumed dead and then reincarnated as the Lone Ranger after witnessing his death and that of his fellow rangers at the hands of a carnivorous, psychotic fugitive and his posse. William Fichtner was wonderful as the second lead villain alongside the film's principal antagonist, which I am keeping a mystery. And contemplating that Fichtner is a quite damn excellent actor, I am peculiarly intrigued by what lies ahead in his upcoming part in Jonathan Liebesman's "Eric Sachs" rendition of Shredder in next year's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. (I will save that subject for another day.)

In the grand scheme of issues, there have been some very goofy parts of the film that had me shaking my head. Of course, I lend that to the film's comedy element, which I largely credit on the element of Johnny Depp, and the venerable, agile and hilariously charming "spirit" horse (later named "Silver", of course), that appears upon Reed's return from the "other" side. There are some very poignant moments throughout the film as nicely, some of which incorporate flashback sequences highlighting Tonto's younger-self and how he came to be, and other scenes focused on characters John and his brother's wife and son, Rebecca and Danny, played by actress Ruth Wilson and actor Bryant Prince. I also enjoyed some of the moments amongst John and Tonto, whose albeit reluctant partnership with each and every other starts largely as any action adventure would among two heroes with conflicting philosophies, and later evolving as they find out to rely on every other to bring law and justice, and in the end, vengeance to criminals the only way they eventually can. Some film critics and viewers have their opinions about how the two heroes had been handled by Verbinski and co. in this interpretation of the story, which is actually a single of a handful of. At any rate though, for what its worth, Depp's try to "reinvent the connection" was a achievement.

The Lone Ranger brings a good, adventurous and entertaining film to audiences, and if you are a hardcore fan and this overview offers you nothing at all else, then hopefully the climatic use of Giaochino Rossini's finale to the William Inform Overture in Hans Zimmer's score will make it worth your although. It is unfortunate, even though, that the film is not doing as very good as 1 might hope for sequels' sake, but I grant that some viewers had their personal expectations. But bear in mind, this is not exactly Unforgiven or Open Variety, or even 3:10 To Yuma-naturally entirely various films compared to this one from Disney, so if you go to see this film, do not look for something quick of a straightforward, entertaining family members Western that introduces as classic, iconic film, tv and radio character of the final century. And I definitely advise it if a family members film with some action is more your speed. If not even though, then I do advise waiting for it on digital or DVD release if you are nonetheless interested.

To study my most recent interview with 1 of the stuntwomen from the film, actress Michelle Jubilee Gonzalez, click Right here.

The Lone Ranger is directed by Gore Verbinski, and stars Armie Hammer, Johnny Depp, William Fichtner, Tom Wilkinson, Ruth Wilson, James Badge Dale, Helena Bonham Carter and Barry Pepper. The film is written by Justin Haythe, Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio and is created by Walt Disney Photographs and Jerry Bruckheimer Films.

SDCC 2013: A World Of Hurt Awaits In The Extended Red Band Trailer For KICK-ASS 2

Director Jeff Wadlow may most likely be the appropriate guy to have involved behind the scenes as writer and director of the newly announced X-Force film. Getting applied his craft to Mark Millar's popular comic book franchise to the huge screen sequel coming August 16, 2013, the film will undoubtedly set up a prerequisite to what comic book movie fans will appear forward to in the years ahead.
