Monday, January 11, 2010 at 12:43AM Second Trailer for Chow Yun-Fat's 'Confucius'
The first trailer for the Chinese production Confucius is probably a better option for US audiences. The new one seems hasitly assembled; there's not much consistency from one moment to the next. However, because that first trailer is so good and the latest one shows off more of the scope of the movie, I'm not in any way discouraged by what I've seen. I just think this new trailer, even though it's subtitled, doesn't have much in common with trailers we normally see.

Chow Yun-Fat plays the legendary philosopher in the new bio-pic, and at $22 million, you can see that the filmmakers got a lot for their money. The film reportedly took nearly a year to shoot, and it shows, not just because we see all four seasons. Some of these set pieces would require days if not weeks just to set up.
So just know that the new trailer is a little herky-jerky, but pay attention to the details Mei Hu puts in every shot. Lots to recommend the film, based on what little we've seen.
We don't have any release dates outside of the Chinese and Hong Kong markets (January 28th), but we'll let you know as soon as we hear anything about European or North American releases.
