the movie just wrapped after a lengthy shoot in Hungary & China, with Tung Wai handling the action sequences
Movie looked bad at the start of the trailer then Milla Jovovich popped up with her “villain/tough” voice and took it into an even worse movie. Why is she getting all of this work now? She did her part in Fifth Element then went on to make each movie after increasingly worse.
They’re not sophisticated, but I liked Ultraviolet and most of the Resident Evil films. She gave good performances in Joan D’Arc, No Good Deed, Perfect Getaway, 45, and Survivor.
But I do hate it when cameo appearances are marketed as starring roles.
Anyone else getting an ‘In the Line of Duty III’ vibe from that poster?
Can’t wait to see it. Another masterpiece with Milla.
The only thing worse than that re-title is that tagline!
I can’t believe the biggest face in the poster is Milla! Hollywood always puts Asians second ((never mind, it’s a Chinese movie hahaha))
The Chinese marketing for the most part focused on Milla’s involvement as a big selling point, and from a distributors point of view Milla’s gonna get more attention than the pretty much unknown to a western audience cast…
