| For whatever reason, we were shamefully unaware of HERO and HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS director Zhang Yimou's upcoming fantasy martial arts epic THE CURSE OF THE GOLDEN FLOWER, especially since the film stars Chow Yun-Fat and Yimou staple Gong Li. Sony Classics, who recently picked the film up for distribution, however, was cool enough to rectify our mistake by pointing us in the direction of the recently released action trailer. Judging from this little snippet, to say that there's a whole hell of a lot going on in this movie is a gross understatement because, seriously, there's a lot of shit going on in this movie. This, of course, means that our pants are officially inflamed with anticipation to check this bad boy out. But don't take our word for it. THE CURSE OF THE GOLDEN FLOWER opens December 22nd. The plot concerns the volatile balance of power between the King (Chow Yun Fat) and the Queen (Gong Li) and his three sons, which entails betrayal, deceit and passion, pitting the King against Queen and father against sons. The glorious canvas includes many of the creative team behind HERO and HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS. In Theatres: December 22nd, 2006 Foreign, Action and Adventure Rating: Not yet rated Yimou Zhang (dir.) Jay Chou Yun-Fat Chow Li Gong Qin Junjie Man Li | |
