Trailer Watch: Wong Kar-wai’s The Grandmasters

We got a teaser trailer back in December, but this new trailer for Wong Kar-wai’s take on an Ip Man biopic actually shows some footage.

Wong’s Ip Man is one of his regulars, Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, who has some action flicks in the past (Hero, Red Cliff) but isn’t exactly Donnie Yen, but that doesn’t seem to be too important, as Wong has so stylized the action that it doesn’t really flow like a proper fight scene. For me, that’s not really a good thing, but I’m still curious to see what kind of film Wong makes of the subject.

Trailer Watch: The Dark Knight Rises teaser trailer

There’s not a ton of new footage here, but it sure sets up an awful lot — and drives the nail in the coffin for any debate about whether or not Christopher Nolan’s Batfilms are a “real” trilogy.

The Dark Knight Rises on July 20th, 2012.

Trailer Watch: The Thing

The trailer for Matthijs van Heijningen Jr.’s prequel to John Carpenter’s The Thing… bizarrely also called The Thing… is here, and yep, it looks pretty good. If anything, it looks a little too much like the original… but that’s prequels for you.

Also, it’s nice to see Mary Elizabeth Winstead not looking like a Muppet. Joel Edgerton (Animal Kingdom), Eric Christian Olsen, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Killer Elite) and Ulrich Thomsen round out the cast.

(Thanks for the heads up, Vanderlow58!)
