Action! A new type of kung fu movie is set to hit the screens
www.chinaview.cn 2009-08-06 09:35:07
Film director Teddy Chan makes a gift to actress Michelle Reis at the closing ceremony of the shooting of the film "Bodyguards and Assassins." The film marks actress Reis' return to the screen after her marriage to business tycoon Julian Hui last year.
BEIJING, Aug. 6 -- Director Teddy Chan has a vision of a different kind of martial arts movie. One that doesn't neglect emotions and storyline in favor of the action. "Bodyguards and Assassins" is to be released in December. Hong Kong filmmaker Teddy Chan's 10-year dream has finally come true as his highly anticipated period epic "Bodyguards and Assassins" finished its three-month shooting recently at a huge replica of 1905 downtown Hong Kong built in Shanghai's suburban Songjiang District.
The action-packed film, with a budget of 150 million yuan ($22 million), is due for release on December 18.
"I have revised the script several times over the past 10 years," Chan says. "The story really moved me a lot. I believe it can move the audience as well."
This time, Chan, known for his popular action films "Downtown Torpedoes" and "Purple Storm," wants to give kung fu film more historical relevance and magnitude, even if the storyline is fictional.
The film centers on a group of martial artists who try to protect revered Chinese revolutionary Dr Sun Yat-sen from an assassination attempt when he was in Hong Kong raising funds on October 15, 1905.
Its all-star cast includes veteran actors Donnie Yen, Tony Leung, Nicholas Tse, Leon Lai, Michelle Reis and Fan Bingbing.
But a big surprise to director Chan were the stunning performances from the 2005 "Super Girl" champion Li Yuchun and Chinese basketball star Mengke Bateer. Both had no previous acting experience.
"Li plays a martial arts talent while Bateer plays a bodyguard of Dr Sun Yat-sen," Chan says. "Their impressive performance submerged my former worries about first-time actors."
Veteran actors also take on new challenges in the movie.
In contrast to his former handsome and squeaky-clean image on the screen, Hong Kong actor Tse had his head shaved bald, for the first time, to play a "rickshaw puller" with suntanned skin and scarred face.
To get close to the heart of the character, Tse even wore special makeup while he was sleeping.
The film also marks actress Reis' return to the screen after her marriage to business tycoon Julian Hui last year.
Reis plays a woman who helps a beggar summon up courage and find new meaning in his life. The beggar, played by Lai, later becomes one of the martial artists to protect Dr Sun Yat-sen.
Director Chan notes that all the cast hopes to break out of the kung fu film stereotype with beautiful, sincere emotions, an in-depth storyline and more cultural connotations.
"The film portrays the gracious and bright side of human nature such as one's love for family, patriotism and dignity in the face of death," he says. "There are so many unsung heroes behind the Chinese revolution which overthrew the Qing Dynasty in 1911. We should show our respect for their devotion and sacrifice."
In addition to its star-studded cast, another highlight of the film is its magnificent set which reproduces the Hong Kong of a century ago.
It depicts Hong Kong's prosperity and vibrancy with a cluster of exotic colonial-style buildings, Gothic architecture and South Asian flavored arcades. About 500 homes, 200 shops and 4,000 signboards were created.
It took about a year and 43 million yuan to build the set, almost as big as 10 football fields.
"This film setting is the biggest of its kind in the history of Chinese cinema," director Chan adds. "It will be reserved for other film projects such as Andrew Lau's new action film."
It is a challenge for anyone to take charge in such a big film production. Lau actually helped direct several scenes when director Chan was busy, for which he received a special gift from the crew ?? a 1905 Hong Kong banknote.
The movie is also the debut production of Cinema Popular, a film company founded by Peter Chan and Chinese mainland director Huang Jianxin.
Peter Chan is one of the few Hong Kong directors adept at different genres, both art-house films and commercial war epics.
The period actioner "Bodyguards and Assassins," in his eyes, is an attempt to make a "new mainstream commercial film," which aims to attract audience from all over the world with more universal storylines, sensational acting and inspirational scenes that touch the soul.
Cinema Popular plans to produce 15 films in three years including the fantasy film "Jung Ku The Man from 18th Hell," suspense thriller "Queen's Road Ripper" and comedy film "The God of Wealth."

A rising star in the agricultural industry suddenly turns whistleblower in hopes of gaining a lucrative promotion and becoming a hero of the common people, inadvertently revealing his penchant for helping himself to the corporate coffers and ultimately threatening to derail the very investigation he helped to launch in this offbeat comedy from Academy Award-winning director Steven Soderbergh. Mark Whitacre (Matt Damon) was fast rising through the ranks at agri-industry powerhouse Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) when he became savvy to the company's multinational price-fixing conspiracy, and decided to turn evidence for the FBI. Convinced that he'll be hailed as a hero of the people for his efforts, Whitacre agrees to wear a wire in order to gather the evidence needed to convict the greedy money-grabbers at ADM. Unfortunately, both the case -- and Whitacre's integrity -- are compromised when FBI agents become frustrated by their informant's ever-shifting account, and discover that he isn't exactly the saintly figure he made himself out to be. Unable to discern reality from Whitacre's fantasy as they struggle to build their case against ADM, the FBI watches in horror as the highest-ranking corporate bust in U.S. history threatens to implode before their very eyes. Scott Bakula, Joel McHale, and Melanie Lynskey co-star

Reviews

Two young men caught in a tangle for no fault of theirs. They go hammer and tongs to escape from the evil designs of baddies. This has been a pet theme of Tamil filmmakers, which is now and then recycled in Kollywood. No different is "Muthirai", directed by newcomer Srinath.
Laced with action, glamour and romance, the movie embarks on a journey that is somehow bumpy. At the same time, the movie produced by Vikram Bhatt and presented by Anees of Vision Jeeva Studio, has many firsts to its credit. Srinath, a comedian, makes his foray as a director, Daniel Balaji, a popular baddie, debuts as a hero and Nithin Satya, a well-known second fiddle in many movies, dons a meaty role.
Srinath has tried to give a glossy and a stylish action-entertainer. But he has missed on the logics and convictions in his path to achieve the mission. What begins with loads of promises fizzles out to be an ordinary fare. Sequences unfold in a hasty manner and the movie ends abruptly.
The screen opens with a political murder. Azhankar Adhiyaman (Saravanan), a prominent political head is killed and his brother and aspiring chief minister Thonda Adhiyaman (Anand) is blamed for the murder. However, he too gets hurt and rushed to hospital.
The story now shifts its focus on Azhagu (Daniel Balaji), a petty thief, who comes across Sathya (Nithin Satya), a pickpocket. The two gets acquainted and start to lead a life of their own. Coming to know of Azhagu's bad past, Satya helps reunite him with his lover (Lakshmi Rai). In the meantime, Sathya falls for Arthi (Manjari), who believes that he is a CBI officer.
Meanwhile, a man who is ready to spill the bean on Thondaman's murder is chased by police commissioner Kishore. Before he is bumped off by the cops, he leaves a laptop with Azhagu and Sathya. Twists and turns leave the cops chase the duo to retrieve the laptop. The race begins as the two come to know the content in laptop throws light on the murder of Adhiyaman. What follows next is a contrived climax.
Sequences defying logics are rampant towards the latter half. The twists around the laptop are just idiotic, to say the least. A dual hero subject laced with multi-layered crime and intricacies of love could have been handled much better.
Daniel Balaji plays Azhagu that is quite typical of his earlier films. Though uncomfortable in dance and romantic sequences, Balaji hogs enough screen space. Sathya, who is introduced as a happy-go-lucky youngster, slowly fizzles out with nothing much to do on screen.
Debutante Manjari Fadnnis looks good but disappoints in her performance. She plays the typical commercial movie heroine, who has good looks and no brain. However Lakshmi Rai manages to sustain some interest with her screen presence thanks to a good blend of skin show and performance. The rest of cast including Ponvannan, Kishore and Haneefa could not leave any mark in cliched roles. The much hyped item song featuring Rakhi Sawant doesn't live up to the expectations.
Letting down the director is Yuvan Shankar Raja's musical score, which reminds one of his earlier tunes in many places. However, the songs have variety and vigour to keep the audiences glued on seats during the song sequences. A duet on Denial Balaji and Rai has been canned beautifully thanks to cinematographer Saleem and Rai's glam show. Cinematographer Saleem (Jeeva's associate) is the only clear winner in the film, catching the sequences with a touch of gloss.
On the whole, Muthirai is a film that promised a lot and lived some what on paper.

reviews

As said old wine in new bottle, SUN Pictures’ 'Masilamani' definitely adheres to this quote. The movie reflects a mix of several masala flicks with a dash of refinement. The ‘Kadhalil Vizhunthen’ pair, Nakul-Sunaina, is back again and has shown considerable improvement in acting skills ever since their first time movie-act.
The story projects the usual flavour of Tamil movie where the hero, Masi (Nakul) is an orphan living in a lower middle class colony. With a heart of gold, he is a popular guy who takes up local issues, fights for them and is considered as a rowdy by those who don’t know him. Enter the heroine Divya (Sunaina), a rich upper middle class girl who is a dance instructor and with whom Masi falls in love at the first sight. But Divya shows aversion to his rowdisam and gets offended with his proposal. Masi doesn’t loose heart and attempts to win Divya’s family by being a goody boy and dons another name, Mani. Except Divya, all are aware that both Mani and Masi is one person. Later when Divya finds out the truth, she gets into dilemma as whom she has to choose.
To add further to hero’s woes, Bhoopathy, the local corrupt Sub Inspector who is also behind Divya, is determined to flop the hero’s plans and seeks to uncover his disguise of Mani. He is always on look out to prove that Mani is none other than Masi, the rowdy. How Mani wins over Divya against all odds serves as the climax of the movie.
The movie is full entertainer with good dose of comedy together with a dash of few peppy dance numbered music. The other in the cast includes MS Bhaskar, Karunaas, Delhi Ganesh, Santhanam and Srinath. The movie is directed by R. N. R. Manohar while the music scores are by D. Imman.
