Chinese Title of Red Cliff 2: 赤壁：決戰天下
I'm so watching this show...(My All-Time Favorite)

Red Cliff 2 Trailer:

The second installment of "Red Cliff", reportedly Asia's most expensive film, will premiere in cinemas on Jan. 15, ten days ahead of China's annual Spring Festival holiday.

The trailer for Taiwan and Hong Kong was available on-line on Friday, while the trailer for the mainland is to be released in December, according to the Beijing-based Legal Evening News on Friday.

Taiwan supermodel Lin Chi-ling, who said only a few words in the first part, will take the spotlight in the second episode, the paper said.

The first instalment of the two-part epic, adapted from the Chinese classic Romance of the Three Kingdoms, debuted in Asia on July 10.

On its first day, the movie took 17 million New Taiwan dollars and 2 million Hong Kong dollars.

Directed by Hollywood-based Hong Kong director John Woo, the cast features leading Asian stars, including award-winning Hong Kong actor Tony Leung, Taiwanese-Japanese heartthrob Takeshi Kaneshiro and mainland actor Zhang Fengyi.

It attracted public attention for the 80-million-U.S.-dollar investment, said to be the most expensive Asian movie of all time.

The story revolves around the epic Battle of Red Cliffs in 208 AD in China's Three Kingdoms period. It was a famous military case of an underdog victory, when the 50,000-strong allied forces of southern warlords Liu Bei and Sun Quan defeated the 800,000 troops of the northern warlord Cao Cao.

The biggest scenes involved 2,000 actors and crew, and a wide range of special effects.

I actually hated the first movie, since it was not even the battle of red cliff. Instead it was the battles BEFORE Red Cliff. Now with the second movie its going to be REALLY good.

I agree with you, dark...
I was so irritated when they show "to be continue" before the battle of red cliff....
*They tricked the audience with the movie title...

Definitely looking forward to Pt 2. John Woo's Part 1, I thought, was a very good and beautiful intro to the coming events The commercial cliffhanger ending will have people returning to the theater in droves...I think.
