"Fire of Conscience" Trailer

Here's the trailer for the upcoming Hong Kong action/thriller film "Fire of Conscience" (火龍), directed by Dante Lam and starring Leon Lai, Richie Ren, Wang Baoqiang, Vivian Hsu, Liu Kai-Chi and Michelle Ye.

The trailer looks good and the early buzz is that the movie itself is action-packed from beginning to end. I am really looking forward to catch this film when it is released here in Malaysia.

The investigation of a prostitute homicide brings heavy-handed Detective Manfred (Leon Lai) in an unlikely collaboration with sly, man-of-the-world Inspector Kee (Richie Jen) from the Narcotics Bureau. When the DNA samples of one of Manfred’s fellow officers are found at the crime scene, implicating him as the prime suspect, Manfred must look beyond the obvious to get to the truth.

Meanwhile, Kee’s uncanny eagerness to lend a helping hand every step of the way outside his own turf is beginning to smack of evil. In the line of fire between high levels of corruption and possible malice, Manfred must solve all the twists and turns of the mystery, trying to figure out who his enemy is and how to save his innocent partner from unfathomable disgrace. Unwittingly, he is about to open a Pandora’s Box that will threaten to upend the entire Hong Kong Police Force.

"Fire of Conscience" is scheduled for release in Hong Kong and Singapore on April 1, 2010 and in Malaysia on April 15, 2010.

Second Trailer For Ridley Scott's "Robin Hood"

The second trailer for Ridley Scott's "Robin Hood" has just been released by Universal Pictures. It features new footage from the film and is far better than the first trailer.

Russell Crowe stars as the legendary figure known by generations as Robin Hood, whose exploits have endured in popular mythology and ignited the imagination of those who share his spirit of adventure and righteousness. In 13th century England, Robin and his band of marauders confront corruption in a local village and lead an uprising against the crown that will forever alter the balance of world power. And whether thief or hero, one man from humble beginnings will become an eternal symbol of freedom for his people.

"Robin Hood" chronicles the life of an expert archer, previously interested only in self-preservation, from his service in King Richard’s army against the French. Upon Richard’s death, Robin travels to Nottingham, a town suffering from the corruption of a despotic sheriff and crippling taxation, where he falls for the spirited widow Lady Marion (Cate Blanchett), a woman skeptical of the identity and motivations of this crusader from the forest. Hoping to earn the hand of Maid Marion and salvage the village, Robin assembles a gang whose lethal mercenary skills are matched only by its appetite for life. Together, they begin preying on the indulgent upper class to correct injustices under the sheriff.

With their country weakened from decades of war, embattled from the ineffective rule of the new king and vulnerable to insurgencies from within and threats from afar, Robin and his men heed a call to ever greater adventure. This unlikeliest of heroes and his allies set off to protect their country from slipping into bloody civil war and return glory to England once more.

"Robin Hood" is scheduled for release in the US on May 14, 2010.
