I couldn't find a thread on this, though I thought there was one. If there is, I'm sorry. Anyway, here's the new teaser trailer...

It looks very stylishly directed, I think. I like the cinematography. The action looks pretty great too, from what little spurts we see.

I had the pleasure of filming the behind the scenes documentary for this production, so if anyone wants any further info please feel free to ask.

Drunken Monk that trailer you posted is way out of sync. This is the original upload (in HD) from the official youtube channel.

Any chance you can edit your post and change it to this link? I know first hand that Dustin and the crew would appreciate it. ;)

Hey man, since you were there, please give us some info on this film. It would be a great way to get everyone hyped about it. :nerd:

Hey Kung Fu Bob,

Glad you like the look of it. For now check out this article over at IMPACT which my good friend Mike Leeder put together for the film. http://www.impactonline.co/news/1103-dustin-nguyen-once-upon-a-time-in-vietnam

Also this is the official facebook page for the film. It's mostly in Vietnamese but has a lot of behind the scenes photos https://www.facebook.com/Luaphatmovie?fref=ts

Anything specific you want to know just ask. If I can answer it I will :)

Awesome, thanks for the links! Mike is a great writer, so I look forward to reading that article. Anything not answered there, I'll be sure to ask you. :bigsmile:

Some of the 'behind the scenes' for OUATIV has finally seen the light of day. The is an interview with costume designer Bao Tranchi discussing her work on the film. Here you can also catch a small glimpse action too.

Dustin is currently in Cannes promoting Once Upon A Time In Vietnam to international distributors. They even held a OUATIV cocktail party! Attached are some sales posters for Cannes

She's gorgeous, she doesn't need to entice anyone with cleavage. Oh, speaking of cleavage, is it just me or does the dip in the cutting edge of her blade make it look like she's hacking into Yuan's nose is the poster showcasing him?:tongue:

I agree she's gorgeous but it certainly does pique my interest more in the movie, I'm ashamed to say:tongue:

and you're absolutely right it does look like she's hacking into that guy's nose!

Is it me or do some of the fights look as though they have pretty terrible lighting?

I can't deny it's certainly very dark in places. However the film is yet to have a full grade supervised by the DOP. Fingers crossed that corrects it!

I can't tell whether the fight footage is from a variety of fights or a select few. I really hope there are a number of good action scenes in this one as it looks like a pretty great film so far.

Thanks! Yes, yes... I wholeheartedly approve of this outfit on this actress. :bigsmile: The fact that she is wielding cool weapons only makes it that much better. :wink:

Thank you for thinking of me Gwailosforever.

Two weeks to go until the Vietnamese premiere and nationwide release. Several new posters have been released, along with banners, standees and even popcorn boxes.
