Well Go USA Unveils The DVD/BD Trailer For SNOW GIRL AND THE DARK CRYSTAL

Well Go USA is in great straits with its release line. And just to think that years ago, the only way to catch a film like Zhao Tianyu and Peter Pau's latest, Snow Girl And The Dark Crystal, would be to either live in the region or wait for it on bootleg. Gladly the latter no longer has to be an option, and with the evolution of our technology between filmmaking and home viewing, you can best be sure to be left dazzled by this one.

It's another stake in visually heavy territory for China as it adapts and branches out to other studios for more tools to hone in the craft of further manifesting Chinese mythology and folklore into such a lusterful fest of cinema -  Definitely one to chalk up as a memorable big screen gem, but thankfully this one will be coming to DVD and Blu-Ray quite soon. And for this, the official home release trailer is finally here!

Academy Award® winning cinematographer Peter Pau (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, 2000) makes his third bow as a director (alongside co-director Zhao Tianyu) with the romantic fantasy adventure epic SNOW GIRL AND THE DARK CRYSTAL, debuting on Digital HD, Blu-ray™ and DVD August 4 from Well Go USA Entertainment.  Featuring “a story filled with its fair share of demons, monsters, magic and mystics, coupled with romance, danger and spectacular action,” (Film Combat Syndicate) the film depicts legendary hero Zhong Kui, a fabled warrior with mysterious powers, who is forced to conquer the realms of Heaven and Hell to save his people and the woman he loves. The film stars Chen Kun (Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon, Flying Swords of Dragon Gate) as the mythic demon hunter and Li Bingbing (Transformers: Age of Extinction, Detective Dee: Mystery of the Phantom Flame) as the alluring snow demon with whom he falls in love. SNOW GIRL AND THE DARK CRYSTAL includes a behind-the-scenes featurette that delves in to the visual effects employed in the film and the music that sets the mood. 

Synopsis: Shot in scenic locations in Mainland China, SNOW GIRL AND THE DARK CRYSTAL depicts the story of Chinese legendary anti-hero Zhong Kui, a young man endowed with mysterious powers who is forced into a battle among the realms of Heaven, Earth and Hell in the course of his attempt to save his countrymen and the woman he loves.

China's upward mobility in the world of CGI-heavy filmmaking is slowly gaining ground with its fair share of bigger-scale productions between several studios, and one of its latest is no exception. Zhong Kui: Snow Girl And The Dark Crystal bodes as a meaty and ferocious epic with nearly all the trimmings as seen in several of its trailers leading up to its release in addition to some of the stunning poster art now making the rounds and if you're curious as to how a film of this caliber will be received in the U.S., then you're in luck!

Variety is exclusively reporting that the film will get a limited theatrical release in North America on February 27, courtesy of Well Go USA, following the film's acquisition from international sales agent Arclight Films in Berlin earlier this month; The film's release, in turn, repeats the process previously executed for the January release of Tsui Hark's 3D spectacle, The Taking Of Tiger Mountain in order to combat piracy. Zhao Tianyu and Oscar winning cinematographer Peter Pau direct from a script by Gone With The Bullets scribe Guo Junli and stars Chen Kun (Painted Skin, 1 & 2), Li Bingbing (Transformers 4, Detective Dee), Winston Chao (Eat Drink Man Woman, The Wedding Banquet), Yang Zishan (So Young), Bao Bei-er (So Young) and Summer Jikejunyi (Outcast), with An Xiao Fen also producing, and Jacky Yeung (Ip Man, Ip Man 2) serving as action choreographer.
