We’re getting lots of hits from people looking for the Teaser or the Trailer — here they are:
The Japanese Teaser (Windows Media) and The Trailer (the trailer is in Japanese – I haven’t found an english trailer yet)
I highly doubt it was even a question if Miramax had a snowball’s chance in Hell that they’d have the opportunity to THINK about bidding for the North American rights to this after the mess they concocted with the release for Hero – director Yimou Zhang’s other kick ass film.
However, I just felt like I needed to celebrate that Miramax doesn’t have a film that seems to be more than worthy of a North American shot. Isn’t that Wonderful? Yes, yes it is. It turns out that Sony Pictures Classics has picked up “Shi…” Good for them – let’s see how well they handle it. [Say that sentence like ‘Dark Helmet’] The title is still a question – The English title of “House of Flying Daggers” apparently, is only what it’s being referred as, and isn’t the actual title. Bubba made a post a while back saying the teaser trailer was listed under the title “Lovers” (check the “House of…” link) So who knows what it’s called. So monkeypeaches.com has a link to a forum where people are coming up with their own suggestions if you can think of something better.
