[/quote] [quote][b]Tiger Chen[/b], who was a member of the stunt team for The Matrix, plays the film’s young protagonist, while [b]Keanu Reeves[/b] plays the villain. The film will also include cast members [b]Karen Mok[/b] ([i]So Close[/i]), [b]Simon Yam[/b] ([i]Ip Man 1 and 2[/i]) and [b]Iko Uwais[/b] ([i]The Raid: Redemtpion[/i]). Moreover, the venerated choreographer [b]Yuen Woo Ping[/b], known for his work in [i]The Matrix[/i] and [i]Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon[/i], is onboard as the film’s action director. Back when first announced, Keanu was promising 18 setpiece fights, taking up roughly [b]40 minutes[/b] of the film's screen time. "I want a good story, good plot... but let's get some good kung fu going!" he enthused[/quote] Looks like a great year for martial arts' movies.

Looks very cool from what I can see. Also holy hell Keanu Reeves is 48 years old? He looks 30 at most.
I fucking love Keeanu Reeves despite what people say about his acting, he seems like a really genuine person and this movie looks really promising. That camera concept is really cool also, man this movie has got lots and lots of potential.
"I know Kung Fu" [img]http://i.imgur.com/lHwu7qf.jpg[/img] Holy crap, what did they do to his face?
the guy from the raid redemption comes out too, fuck yeah
[QUOTE=Novangel;40302825]Looks very cool from what I can see. Also holy hell Keanu Reeves is 48 years old? He looks 30 at most.[/QUOTE] More proof that he is indeed immortal. [editline]18th April 2013[/editline] And that proof of concept video is intriguing.
I think this film has a lot of potential. I also believe that Keanu gets a lot unwarranted negative stuff said about him.
First trailer is here: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azbrjFq2L7w[/media] Fighting looks really good, rest looks solid enough.
Jesus christ he never ages.
That was pretty cringe worthy.
International trailer is out, and it looks much better than previous one [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMC66Jw52Dk&hd=1[/media]
Keanu's voice sounds weird, but it's interesting to see that he's playing a villain. I might just have to see this.
[QUOTE=Tark;40359837]Jesus christ he never ages.[/QUOTE] That's because he's immortal, or so the conspiracy theory goes... [IMG]http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0swrd8SU41rrofwlo1_1280.jpg[/IMG] This guy, Paul Mounet, supposedly died in the 20's, but his body was never found. OOOOoooooo...

That painting is hanging at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco. I've actually seen it in person, freaked me out a little the first time I saw it. "Wait, isn't that...!!!"
So what happened to that weight he had gained? Then again, what with the hair and there supposedly being another Bill and Ted...
