First Teaser Trailer For Wong Kar Wai’s The Grandmasters

Considering Wong Kar Wai’s reputation for never – and I mean never ever – finishing a film, even going so far as to revisiting those released some years before (like Coppola or Lucas, I suppose), then I guess it comes as no surprise to see there’s not a single frame of footage from the movie itself in this teaser trailer for The Grandmasters. Perhaps he’s yet to decide on even a single frame that will absolutely, definitely make the cut.

Seeing as that teaser was almost entirely devoid of information, I’ll fill you in on the film’s premise myself. The Grandmasters is a biopic of Ip Man, sometimes Yip Man, the famous teacher of Wing Chun who tutored Bruce Lee. In the film, Ip is to be played by Tony Leung, and Zhang Ziyi, Chang Chen, Song Hye-kyo and Zhao Benshan will also appear. The action choreography is by the near-legendary Yuen Woo-Ping.

There. At least I’ve passed on some kind of content about the film that English-reading Little Bleeders can use.
