Investors and producers should take note of a new concept trailer for an Indonesian-based action comedy titled You Can’t Hear Me, You Can’t See Me.

Directed by Andrew Suleiman, You Can’t Hear Me, You Can’t See Me definitely has the potential to be an interesting feature film, especially with its stylized filmmaking techniques and martial arts choreography, courtesy of the ZeroGravity stunt team.

THE MOVIE: After returning home from a traumatic tour of duty in Iraq, John (Cung Le) finds himself rescuing a local call girl from a group of violent Aryan Brotherhood pimps. Having killed several of them in the process, John and his family are now the prime targets of Hollis, the ruthless criminal leader of the group.

The director of Puncture Wounds (aka A Certain Justice or Justice) is James Coyne, an up-and-coming filmmaker whose major credit thus far is a short film titled Vanished and serving as a co-producer on the live-action Tekken movie. The film stars Cung Le (Dragon Eyes), Dolph Lundgren (The Expendables) and Vinnie Jones (Snatch).

Updates: Cung Le shared a picture of himself with Dolph. | Puncture Wounds is a bit of a passion project for Cung Le, as he discussed the screenplay four years ago before starring in 2009’s Pandorum. Cung describes Justice as an ‘amazing’ cross between First Blood and No Country For Old Men. | Photos from Puncture Wounds on IMDB reveal that the film may be heavily influenced by The Raid!

Looks like Lionsgate has changed the title from A Certain Justice to Puncture Wounds for the film’s DVD release.

BREAKING NEWS: Watch the newest trailer. Puncture Wounds is now available for a March 11, 2014 pre-order at Amazon.com.

Accident and Motorway director Cheang Pou-soi has been developing a big screen, special FX-infused adaptation of the famous Monkey King tale for almost three years now. Production began way back in October of 2010 but we haven’t heard much since then, besides the fact that the film’s high budget means it will have to make at least $88 million at the Chinese box office to break even.

The star-studded cast includes Donnie Yen as the Monkey King, Chow Yun Fat, Aaron Kwok, and Cecilia Cheung. The Monkey Kong was shot in IMAX 3D and employed visual effects talent from Hollywood personel who had worked on films like I Am Legend and Spider-Man 3.

Updates: Teaser poster and 1st teaser trailer for The Monkey King are online today. | Yen says the film proved to one of his most challenging roles ever, due to the fact that he had to endure 5 hours of make-up to turn into the Monkey King each day. | Newest trailer. | The movie hits theaters in China/Hong Kong on January 31, 2014. | JayneStars has a whole slew of character posters for the film, including this one of Donnie Yen as the Monkey King. Also look for Chow Yun-fat and Aaron Kwok among the star-studded cast!

Our first extended glimpse of movie footage is here with this teaser trailer, although unfortunately it’s dubbed in English. You can also check out a behind the scenes video. | New trailer.
