Well Go USA has announced the acquisition of Yuen Woo-ping’s action-adventure film, Blades of the Guardians, with a planned release date of February 17th. With one legend already behind the camera, it is only fitting that a few more dance combatively in front of it. The cast includes Wu Jing, Jet Li, and Nicholas Tse. We cannot find any notes about who did the action design for this new film, but it’s all very large-scale, but this first, official teaser trailer is cut too fast to allow us to get an impression of it. We will just have to wait a couple more weeks to see what Woo-ping and company have in store for martial arts fans here in North America. Leading international and indie…

Lynne Ramsay studies how pain takes shape. The Scottish director harnesses a poetic, sensory style in which her intimate stories of grief are barbed and transcendent. She is drawn to haunted characters, whether that be openly or implicitly. These stories are often fixated on the question: what happens next? She probes the mind of a mother whose son committed a school massacre in We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011) and examines the complex emotionality of a jaded hitman in You Were Never Really Here (2017). Ramsay doesn’t deliver a necessarily palatable story, but still, it has you chomping at the bit. On November 7, Ramsay’s fifth feature film will grace theaters across the United States. Die My Love features Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson…
