Dragon Inn Gets Remastered and the Sword Identity Gets Posters (Plus a Game Trailer)

by kmiller

So I’ve come across a couple interesting bits of information today. The first one is that Dragon Inn is getting remastered. It’s getting brand new visuals and sound effects, but the movie itself is the same. For those that haven’t seen it, it stars Donnie Yen, Maggie Cheung, Brigitte Lin, and Tony Leung.

You can see the promotional clip here:

New Dragon Gate will be out on Feb 24th.

Next up are some poster images for the Sword Identity. It’s been a while since I got to talk about this movie, so I’m glad to know it’s still alive and kicking. It’s also coming out on the 24th, so that looks like it will be a good day for action fans.

I’m not too sure what I think about this movie yet, but I know there are plenty of people getting excited for it. I’ll wait a little longer until a new trailer comes out to make my decision.

Lastly, I get to talk about video games! It’s pretty rare for me to get to do so, but I do find enjoyment in playing games from time to time. Those of you that play may remember a series called True Crime. Well, Square Enix decided to change the name to Sleeping Dogs, getting people talking with this trailer here:

So, what does this trailer have to do with martial arts (besides being awesome?) It was choreographed by Darren Shahlavi. You may know him as Kano from Mortal Kombat Rebirth or as Twister from Ip Man 2.

Either way, the fight is amazing and Square Enix did the right thing by asking him to work on the trailer. Now, if only the game can live up to the expectations that Darren created.
