The Sorcerer and the White Snake

Looks like Jet Li is coming up with another film~ I thought he was done with these ancient, Chinese martial arts films, but I guess he changed his mind!

The film is based on the Chinese Legend of the White Snake. I haven’t heard of this until now, so I might check out some of the books we have in the library to see if I can find out more about it. The film was also shown out of competition at the 68th Venice International Film Festival last 3rd of September, so I’m guessing there are a lot of nifty effects to look forward to~

Can’t wait until the 28th~ Please show this in the original Mandarin dialect with English subtitles! I’m begging you Philippines!!!

  1. Hopefully they release the DVD soon and our local DVD rental store would have it. LOL! I would like to watch it, seems interesting. And I do hope yet again it's not gonna a boring super story telling movie.

  2. I think it will be an fantasy-action thing more than anything? :3

    I'm not looking forward to the snakes though. The sneak peak on the trailer leaves a lot to be desired. *_*

  5. I didn't get to watch it! ;_; My siblings told me it was a terrible movie, but I have a sneaking suspicion they only said that because they left me behind! ;o;

  6. It wasn't like the usual Jet Li films. In fact, it was more of a love story between the other casts. But still, it's Jet Li!!! *supports ALL Jet Li movies*

    My boyfriend fell asleep halfway through the movie though (BOO!). And the only thing he said was that the main protagonist was pretty. >__>
