And another fast release coming from our friends in Hong Kong. Teddy and Peter Chan’s star-laden Bodyguards and Assassins opened in Hong Kong’s theaters in December and already YesAsia is listing a DVD and Blu-ray Disc release for February 8, 2010! English subtitles will be included in both versions, people outside of Region A will just have to wait a bit until the region code gets announced since Kam & Ramson sometimes lock their releases.
Here’s one of the film’s many trailer to keep you entertained until February….

This Teaser Trailer for Bodyguards and Assassins (aka Dark October) isn’t exacly brand new but since I haven’t seen it on any niche news site and I noticed that I haven’t typed a single word on director Teddy Chan and producer Peter Chan’s latest project I thought I should post it anyway.
The film is set on October 15th 1905 with the father of the Chinese Revolution, Dr. Sun Yat-sen visiting Hong Kong for negotiations. During his one-day stay, forces from the collapsing Qing Dynasty send out assassins to get rid of the politician and only the brave bodyguards coming from the streets of Hong Kong can prevent it…

Like in (or maybe because of) Jian Guo Da Ye (The Great Cause of China’s Foundation/Founding of the Nation), Peter Chan managed to lure in a truck load of stars like Donnie Yen, Leon Lai, Eric Tsang, Fan Bing Bing, Hu Jun, Li Yuchun, Nicholas Tse, Tony Leung Kar Fai, Wang Po-Chieh, Wang Xueqi, Zhou Yun and Simon Yam into B&A.
The film is supposed to open in December 2009, for more information on the characters and cast check out this press booklet [~8MB].
