The Forbidden Kingdom – Posters, Pics, and Drunken Boxing?
March 28th, 2008Stumbled across some new posters and pics from the upcoming Jackie Chan/Jet Li movie The Forbidden Kingdom:
I like the look of these posters, (Here’s a link to the poster that features both of these martial arts legends.) and, of course, there’s nary a sign of Michael Angarano, the American kid stuck in ancient China who’s undoubtedly the real “hero” of the film.
Smart marketing, but I digress.
There’s something else I’d like to draw your attention to in regards to these two posters: the captions below the title.
Now, “The Silent Monk” isn’t terribly exciting. Early on in the film’s development, Jet Li’s character didn’t have a name listed on imdb (the Internet Movie Database) and was referred to exclusively by the moniker, “The Silent Monk.”
(A familiar pose to all the Jet Li fans.)
What is intriguing, though, is Jackie Chan’s caption.
“The Drunken Immortal.”
Now we’re on to something here.
