Kung fu fans have long been expecting this so it is definitely my pleasure to introduce the first look at the long awaited Grandmasters trailer.
It’s more like a long fight scene that’s set in the rain. Think Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” mixed with Neo and Agent Smith’s final fight in The Matrix movies.
Wong Kar-Wai’s The Grandmasters, a biopic of martial arts legend Ip Man (the dude who trained Bruce Lee) has been long in production. It’s not in English but it doesn’t matter too much. Tony Leung is the dude in the white hat, also known as Ip Man, and everyone else is a piece of meat for him to whoop up on.
Wong Kar Wai is the talented Hong Kong director who gave us the under appreciated In the Mood For Love and 2046. If you haven’t seen either of those movies give them a look and I think you’ll be happy.
The problem with Wong Kar Wai is he has a Terrence Malick streak in him and can take quite a long time in finishing a movie. The movie has taken a few years to make and to illustrate the delays that have occurred, star Tony Leung actually made another movie in that time.
