This is interesting. My HK cinema app is saying "The Grandmasters" on the poster but "The Grand Master" in the description. Opening day: 18th December 2012.
I`m still confused and curious if Tony has something to say about this (if he is allowed to) ... ? _________________ Water which is too pure has no fish. |

Latest release date of <The Grandmaster> is 8 Jan 2013.
Personally, I still have doubt on the exact release date...let's see.
新浪娱乐讯 日前,由王家卫执导,汇聚梁朝伟、章子怡、张震、赵本山、小沈阳、宋慧乔等明星的功夫巨制《一代宗师》,于11月27日集中曝光四款重量级人物“破浪版海报”。梁朝伟、章子怡、张震、赵本山以劈波斩浪的姿态齐齐亮相。同时影片档期进行了适当调整,于2013年1月8日上映。
四大拳派:破浪而出 凌厉霸气
在曝光的四款人物海报中,咏春拳梁朝伟、八卦掌章子怡、八极拳张震、形意拳赵本山分别亮相。海报上各人以其门派的看家招式劈开水波,四周飞浪泼溅,寒气迫人,与人物的冷峻面孔相互映照,尽显凌厉霸气。由于今年贺岁档形势有别于往年,国产电影扎堆厮杀,竞争态势异常惨烈。《一代宗师》选择微调档期,从乱局当中破开血路,杀出重围,选择在2013年元月档期公映。
一代宗师:压轴贺岁 开局2013
王家卫自1988年开始拍摄《旺角卡门》开始,到明年整25年,《一代宗师》是他的第十部长篇电影(2004年与索德伯格、安东尼奥尼联合执导的《爱神》除外),也是他倾入心血最大的一部。对于调整档期压轴贺岁开局2013,银都机构发行总监、《一代宗师》新闻发言人薛理明表示:“《一代宗师》凝聚了王家卫导演和所有演员多年的心血,从这个角度上来讲,我们也希望给他一个相对充分的空间去释放他的能量,这是对电影创作者的尊重。”(TG/文)

^Just don't postpone it anymore or else I might miss it altogether when I'm back for CNY.
Here's the translation from the Sina article:
Directed by Wong Kar Wai, featuring an all-star ensemble of Tony Leung, Zhang Ziyi, Chang Chen, Zhao Benshan, Xiaoshenyang and Song Hye-kyo, the film The Grandmaster released four new posters today. The posters show four of the lead actors 'smashing' through waves. Also revealed on the posters was the new release date of the movie, which is now set for January 8, 2013.
The four new posters depict Tony Leung fighting in wing chun style, Zhang Ziyi fighting in baguazhang style (eight trigram palm), Chang Chen using bajiquan (eight extremities fist), and Zhao Benshan using xingyiquan (shape boxing). All four actors display their clans' special moves as they attempt to split the waves. Water appears to splash everywhere and the chill in the air is evident. The coldness also seems to seep into their faces making them appear domineering. As compared to previous years, the lineup for this year's lunar holiday films appear to be more competitive. Due to the fierce competition predicted at the box office, The Grandmaster has readjusted their release date to January 8, 2013 (prior to the lunar new year).
Wong Kar Wai began filming his first movie As Tears Go By in 1988. Next year will be his 25th year as a feature film director. The Grandmaster will be his 10th release (excluding Eros, which was a joint project with Michelangelo Antonioni and Steven Soderbergh). However, The Grandmaster is also the film he has spent the most time preparing for. Regarding the decision to release the movie the towards end of the [western] New Year holiday, the spokesperson from the distribution company Sil-Metropole Organisation, says, "This movie incorporates many years of hard work from Director Wong and all of his cast. From that point of view, we would like to give him more space to bring his entire vision to fruition. This is the kind of respect we'd like to give to these directors." |

Hmmm, this means The Grandmaster will not be eligible for a HKFA nomination 2013, but 2014.

Thanks guys, I'm happy to see this. Wonder how Tony's Wing Chun looks now? Kind of seems a shame to put three years into it, and then move on to other things, but I'm sure he can't/couldn't wait to never have to do that again. Lol!

I did, but after more then 10 years of being away from training due to different working hours, nearly everything is gone. _________________ Water which is too pure has no fish. |
