The long-awaited trailer for an equally long-awaited thriller from Indonesia called "Night is coming for us" (The Night Comes for Us).
Director's film Timo Tiajanto (“Raid: Bullet in the Head”) was announced back in 2012, and fans of action films were extremely interested in the cast of the sensational "Raids" (2011, 2014) and "Bullets in the Head" (2016). The thriller, which the creators are positioning as a neo-noir, was promised to be released in 2017, but was not released. However, thanks to the streaming giant Netflix, the film has finally found a release date.
Synopsis: the main character, working as a hitman for a triad, was unable to kill the last witness to another massacre - a little girl. Moreover, in saving the child, he saw a chance for redemption and the beginning of a new life. But such a serious criminal organization as the triads is not an office that forgives such things.
Played the main positive role in the film Joe Taslim (“Raid”), and the role of the main antagonist went to Iko Yuwaisu (“Raid 1-2”, “22 miles”). The rest of the cast is filled by: Sunny Pan ("Raid: Bullet in the Head"), Julia Estell ("Raid 2"), Zach Lee ("Raid"), Sharifa Daanish ("Snake Staircase"), Epi Kusnander ("Raid: Bullet in the Head"), Hannah Al Rashid (Previs Alpha), Dian Sastrowardoyo (“Gangster”) and others.
I did the choreography myself Iko Uwais and his colleague Very Tree Yulisman, who was involved in action in all three "Raids".
The film will be shown on Netflix 19 2018 October, the. Well, after the trailer, we believe that Iko Uwais can really play the role of a villain in the upcoming Hollywood comedy "Limit" with Dave Bautista.
Another long-term construction project, which was supposed to be released back in 2016, has a release date and a trailer. This is a sequel to a fantasy film. "Ice Comet 3D" (2014) starring Donnie Yen and Wang Baoqiang.
"Ice Comet 2", which received a new subtitle "Time Traveler" (Iceman: The Time Traveller), directed by another filmmaker - Raymond Yip (“My Brother Bruce Lee,” “The Generals”).
The sequel continues the story of a Ming Dynasty imperial guard captain named Huo Ying, who battles his sworn enemies 300 years later in modern times. In the new film, Donnie Yen's character seems to be walking around different time periods.

Besides Donnie Yen (Ip Man trilogy), will return to their roles Wang Baoqiang ("Last of the Best"), Simon Yam ("Lords of the Elements 2"), Eva Huang ("The Sorcerer and the White Snake") and Yu Kang ("The Lost Sword Master"). Like us already wrote about this project last time, the main cast was strengthened by the legend of action cinema Yasuaki Kuratoi ("Fist of Legend").
The film's premiere is scheduled for November 1 2018 years. Although, judging by the trailer, four years of lying on the “post-production” shelf did not do this fantasy story any good...
We want to finish today's selection with a drama from a Chinese director Juana Juana ("Justice in the Northwest") entitled "Wushu Orphan" (Wushu Orphan).
Before us again is the story of the main character growing up through the comprehension of martial arts, but this time without the hackneyed concept of “a teacher and his student together overcome obstacles in their own lives, helping each other.” "Wushu Orphan" is a drama about a student who studies in a middle school where there is a serious emphasis on learning wushu in the setting of inner China in the 90s. The guy, of course, is bullied by his peers and dreams of running away from this school someday. However, the new teacher wants to raise the boy in his own way.
Young actors appeared in the roles of this original film Nok Jin и Hou Yunxiaoand also an actress Liu Zhihan (“The Hanged Dead Man,” TV series “Patriot”).
Huang's film will be screened at the 31st Tokyo International Film Festival 21 2018 October, the. But it is still unknown when the film will go into official distribution or be released on media.

I don’t know about anyone, but I think the Night is very good
Dmitry Padalko, By the way, yes. If there is no such fakap as with “Headshot”, then the film is definitely a must see. But wait? What does it mean to be the director of "Headshot"?
On the third day, the slow guy noticed that the film was already online. I'll watch it in the evening.
Added character posters to the second "Ice Comet"
Classical music is so banal.
Netflix movies have a very strange feeling. Often there are interesting ideas, but the implementation is lame, as if they are not finished, they don’t live up to the mark, and the ending is often disappointing. But a movie with Iko and Joe will certainly be interesting to watch. I didn't even expect to see "Ice Comet 2". :)) I will wait, no matter what. :) But the last film promises to be very unusual, I’m really interested, I hope I’ll be able to see it. Thanks for the news! :)
Alexander,
In the case of The Night Of, it's a film that Netflix bought rather than made.
