LONG, NEW, IMPROVED PROTEGE TRAILER

Derek Yee's heroin saga, PROTEGE Thanks to the reader who sent this in and to the Little Film Company for hosting this. What is "this"? "This" is an extremely long trailer/promo reel for Derek Yee's heroin saga, PROTEGE. There are some major spoilers about halfway through, so check out after the first 45 seconds or so if you don't want anything ruined. And there's some anti-drug hysteria that feels very old fashioned in the "junkie" parts of the promo, but for those of us who feared that this would be a long educational film this trailer pretty much erases that concern. Lots of action. Production values that look sky high. And some unexpected acting moments from Louis Koo and Daniel Wu. I'm now officially excited by this movie - which is coming in Spring 2007.

And prepare to be dazzled at least by the money onscreen if by nothing else. Also, you can see the official website here.

and most importantly it features the criminally underrated Anita Yuen.

now if only there was a remastered DVD available of Chinese Feast with the full version and English subs

I think there's a decent French one but sans English subs

I want to see the Taiwanese version of CHINESE FEAST with the Chiu Man-cheuk fight scene.

Acting from Louis Koo & Daniel Wu? That is unexpected!!

Just kidding - I'm a big fan of both guys.....honestly!

Daniel Wu is growing on me. Getting into more gritty roles and distancing himself from the fluff, although fluff is good at times (The Twins Effect a major exception). Always fun to root for a California native.

I love Daniel Wu, so I think this film will be successful. The combination of Daniel, Louis and Andy bring 3/4 success for this film!
