Looks like Chinese movies are getting in on the alien adventure yarns as upcoming big budget blockbuster Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe (鬼吹灯之九层妖塔 Ghost Blowing Lamp The Nine Story Demon Tower) gets a September 30th premiere date just in time for the Chinese national holiday vacation stretch. Starring Mark Chao, Yao Chen, Rhydian Vaugan, Li Chen, and Tang Yan, the movie combines fantasy supernatural with alien elements and involves the protagonists investigating strange occurrences to eventually battling other worldly creatures.
This movie will mark the third consecutive year that leading man Mark premiered a movie during the coveted Chinese national holiday time slot, in 2013 his period fantasy movie Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon opened, and last year Black & White: Dawn of Justice was released in that prime slot. He’s also become the go-to guy for big budget action movies, which is actually a good use of his physical talents and requires less delicate emoting from him which has always been a limitation. The movie looks interesting from the cinematic stills and just released movie trailer so take a look for yourself.
Trailer for Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe:
This year 2024 has been a slow year for K-actress Suzy in terms of her…
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…
If I didn't know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama…

Seriously tho, I'm a huge Tang Yan fan (she's one of my favourite c-actresses but at this point she's becoming so over-exposed it's not even funny. I generally alternate between two sites that I follow, koalas and avirtualvoyage and every day at least ONE of the sites will post about her upcoming shows. Does she not sleep or eat and just spends all her time filming???
Looks kind of interesting... But am I the only one old enough to think that some of the cg scenes are totally copied from Independence Day?
You're not the only one. There are several scenes that I recognised from Independence Day...
I am more interested in seeing the version coming out with Aloys Chen and Shu Qi.
This trailer is a fan-made fake, using parts of trailer 1 and shots from Hollywood films like independence day etc.
Don't believe it ! - The real trailers are much better and the movie is great!
