"Black and White: Part 1" Chinese Theatrical Poster
The filmmakers behind the new Taiwanese action film Black and White held a press conference yesterday to announce that the film will be released in Mainland China this summer. A 110-second preview of the movie was screened and included car chases, explosions, shoot-outs, and a plane crash. Directed by Tsai Yueh-Hsun, Black and White stars Mark Chao and Huang Bo (Design of Death).
At the conference, director Tsai Yueh-Hsun revealed that the film had a budget of around $1.1 million US dollars and that some of the crew involved in the Hollywood blockbuster Inception helped build the stage where the plane crash was filmed. In addition, French action star Cyril Raffaelli of District B13 and Live Free and Die Hard fame flew to Taiwan to serve as action choreographer on the film. Sounds like Black and White is something to look forward to; the movie should arrive in Chinese theaters this June.
Update: Chinese Films has a brand new poster and some stills for the film. The movie is now titled Black and White: Part 1 and will hit Mainland Chinese theaters on June 21. I’m glad I went looking for the trailer because somehow I missed it. You can watch it now on YouTube with (tiny) English subtitles! Looks like this movie is a massively big-budget affair with tons of stunts and action sequences.
Chinese Films has some new action-packed stills and a brand new poster. We’d swap the new poster in but we prefer the old one that’s up.
BREAKING NEWS: The final trailer for the film is online now.
