Gong Li

After sitting on the shelf for over two years, the period crime-thriller Shanghai finally has a trailer.  For most of it, I was wondering why the flick was kept from theaters for so long.  It has tight premise, exotic locale, solid actors, and a nice look to it.  Then the trailer had the courtesy to give away almost the entire flick and what appears to be the ending looks stupid beyond all reason.  So if you want to see a film that you’ll like for maybe two-thirds of it and then check out due because of the climax, Shanghai looks like the movie for you.

Shanghai stars John Cusack, Chow Yun-Fat, Gong Li, and Ken Watanabe. Hit the jump to check out the trailer and the synopsis.  The film is set to be released in China on June 17th and sometime in the US this September.

First Images and Synopses for ALL GOOD THINGS, PIRHANA 3D, SHANGHAI, and THE FIGHTER

AFM* fun continues with the first images and full synopses for All Good Things starring Ryan Gosling and Kirsten Dunst, Pirhana 3D starring Elisabeth Shue and Richard Dreyfuss, Shanghai starring John Cusack and Ken Watanbe, and The Fighter starring Christian Bale, Mark Wahlberg, and Amy Adams.  These are all films that should be on your radar because there’s a good chance that these films will be getting some major marketing when they hit theaters.

I write and read about films every day and with the exception of The Fighter, these films weren’t really on my radar.  After reading the synopses and seeing some shots from these movies, I’ll definitely be on the lookout for further news about them.  Hit the jump to check out debut photos and what you need to know about these upcoming flicks.
