Wild fantasy Old West martial arts in the trailer for The Warrior’s Way

JoBloJoBlo

Years ago there was a bizarro Western project in the works called LAUNDRY WARRIOR, set to co-star Zhang Ziyi.

That has since become THE WARRIOR’S WAY, and now features a grungy Kate Bosworth, a nearly unrecognizable Geoffrey Rush and Danny Huston, and plenty of high-flying martial arts and inconsistent green-screen.

The movie stars popular South Korean actor Jang Dong-Kun (TAE GUK GI: BROTHERHOOD OF WAR, 2009 LOST MEMORIES) as a wandering swordsman defending a lost town of circus performers from a gang of evil bandits.

Seems like a mashup of spaghetti westerns, wuxia and LONE WOLF AND CUB, with a splash of SUKIYAKI WESTERN DJANGO and a heaping of 300 style. Check out the trailer below or in HD at Apple.
