Colorful posters and disguises in Ethan Ruan’s Shanghai Noir

Seems like a while since I last talked about this movie. They recently held a press conference to promote the film which is looking at a late November slot, or later. Aside from Yang Yang, who was not present, Ethan Ruan, Zhou Dong Yu, and Yang Zi Shan were all there to make dorky faces at the camera. It looks like there won’t be romance between the leads in here. I like that because they look and interact like siblings, which is sweet. I seldom resist the temptation to ship people. Here, it is natural. 🙂

Stills:

From press conference. This lad likes to pick up the girls, doesn’t he?

Yang Yang. The cop in charge of putting Ethan’s character behind bars. He wasn’t at the press conference cause he was busy filming The Lost Tomb.

I love these posters. Yang Yang’s face looks much more edgier and well-defined.

Trailer:

  • Not sure how I feel about this movie. Seems like a comedy mixed in with suspense and action. I absolutely love the cast though!
  • It doesn’t have an exact release date yet but filming completed in May.
  • November is the month to bankrupt moviegoers! Yesterday, Liu Yi Fei’s For Love or Money and Chen Qiao En’s The Queens were both out!

    ***sobs a Justin Timberlake*** Looking at Ethan’s left hand at the presscon. His “precious” is on for good. Lucky, Tiffany Hsu.

    I’ve been Ethan deprived (since his enlistment) so I’ll watch anything of his now. This, and for sure Rise of the Legend, also out this month, starring Eddie Peng (as Wong Fei Hung) and Sammo Hung. The rest are iffy to watch depends on my mood.

      Great observation!! She is one lucky woman and he is one lucky man. She’s gorgeous and down-to-earth.

      I’m not sure visiting that inn is gonna help him in the end though. 😛
