Posted by:

Sony Classics Emailed me today to let me know that their are some new teaser trailers online for the upcoming release of HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS, a 2004 Cannes Film Festival Official Selection. This film is Director Zhang Yimou's second foray into the martial arts genre, following the successful Hero. It stars Takeshi Kaneshiro and Ziyi Zhang, the actress who was also featured prominently in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and Hero. HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS opens in NY and LA on December 3, 2004 (12/3/2004). As always, I have included links to the trailer online and a synopsis. But this time I have provided links to both an "action" teaser trailer and a "romance" teaser trailer, so there's something for everyone.

Here are the links to a whole whack of great trailers for you to check out courtesy of Sony Pictures.

House of Flying Daggers is set in the year is 859 AD as China's once flourishing Tang Dynasty is in decline. Unrest is raging throughout the land, and the corrupt government is locked in battle with rebel armies that are forming in protest. The largest, and most prestigious of these rebel groups is the House of Flying Daggers, which is growing ever more powerful under a mysterious new leader. Two local captains, Leo (ANDY LAU TAK WAH) and Jin (TAKESHI KANESHIRO) are ordered to capture the new leader and the two hatch an elaborate plan. Captain Jin will pretend to be a lone warrior called Wind and rescue the beautiful, blind revolutionary Mei (ZIYI ZHANG) from prison, earning her trust and escorting her to the secret headquarters of the House of Flying Daggers. The plan works, but to their surprise, Jin and Mei fall deeply in love on their long journey to the House. Danger lurks in the forest surrounding them, and the wind is still, as if sensing the tension in the air. What lies ahead for Jin and Mei, these star-crossed lovers? If this is true love, then why are there plots in their heads, and secrets in their hearts?
