storm rider clash of the evils: the animated movie
in researching for the Storm Riders 2 live-action film [blogged] i'd come across an animated-sequel to the movie by Asia Animation - dubbed Storm Rider: Clash of the Evils (風雲決) - directed by Dante Lam ("The Twins Effect") - which i swore i'd posted about before, but can't seem to find ... anyhoo... production details on the website states that tis currently in post-production, with a 1st-quarter 2008-release of a 110-mins film with original story by Wing-Shing Ma (creator of Fen Yun) featuring both 2D (Cell) and 3D animation (peep the trailer) with production by Puzzle Animation Studio Ltd / Shanghai Media Group ... and just so happens, is partners with McToys - who makes 1/6th Power Team Elite action figures! ... so at the very least, perhaps a 1/6th toy-adaptation? speculation on my end, of coz :p ... meanwhile as we await the status of film - peep more trailer/animations HERE :)
"This is a sequel to the story featuring two legendary and adventurous characters, Wind & Cloud. The Sword Worship Villa, the world's top sword maker, witnessed the bloody execution of its people due to allegations of conspiring to start a rebellion. The young master of the villa, Ao Jue, is the only survivor of the execution. In order to complete the “Jue” Sword, forged by generations of his family, Ao Jue swears to attack Tin Ha Wui and battle with Wind & Cloud in order to obtain the blood of the Flame Kylin which can unleash the power of the sword" [wiki]personally, im actually pretty excited to see how this flick turns out - the trailers have been promising thus far (would kill for higher-def versions-of tho :p) ... and i can't remember when was the last time (if ever) i've seen a good decent kickass Asian animated-film - which is NOT Japanese or Korea-made - but darnnit, i lurve them ALL lah! ;p
