"Million Dollar Crocodile" Chinese Theatrical Poster
Fooled you with that headline, huh? It’s really just the plot of the upcoming Chinese-language film Million Dollar Crocodile. Fans of ‘creatures features’ (like me) might want to keep an eye on this movie as the plot literally involves a giant-ass crocodile on the attack in Beijing. The film is directed by Lin Lisheng and stars Barbie Hsu and Guo Tao.
Despite the monster-on-the-rampage plot, it is said that the film has a strong humorous bent with Barbie Hsu revealing her comedic side for the first time. Let’s just hope this isn’t a Lake Placid redux.
Website Chinese Films has the sharp-toothed poster and more details here. And don’t miss the amazing trailer, featuring extensive footage of the computer-generated croc terrorizing people. Million Dollar Crocodile doesn’t have a release date yet but we’ll keep you posted.
Update: Be warned, I’m gonna keep readers updated on this movie until it comes out because I love me some foreign monster movies. Today Chinese Films has some cool new stills and word that the film will be released in Chinese theaters in early June.
Four new stills from the movie. Chinese Films expresses doubt that the movie is a comedy, although that remains the producers’ line. Also, we now know the croc is 8-meters long! A brand new poster for the film. Wait, are you telling me that there’s more than one crocodile in this movie?! Thanks to Chinese Films.
The final trailer is online and ready to take a bite out of ya.
Enjoy a new poster at Chinese Films alongside the trailer in case you missed it, and then marvel at this ridiculously cool poster featuring Barbie Hsu.
BREAKING NEWS: You probably thought you’d heard the last of Million Dollar Crocodile, eh? But 24 Frames Per Second relays news that Screen Media has bought North American distribution rights to the creature comedy, with plans to bring the film to America in early 2013.
This one looks like fun! Every time I hear about a new giant animal/monster movie they mostly turn out to be SCI-FI channel garbage. The whole reason you’d want to see this kind of film is for the giant critter. But when it looks like garbage CGI BS, then what’s the point? Fortunately, the trailer looks very cool. Crocodilians are among my favorite animals, and after owning a little caiman, and seeing what HE was capable of, I can definitely say that we would all be in serious trouble if these guys got any bigger than they already do.
