A teaser trailer for Peter Chan's $40 million war epic The Warlords, starring Jet Li, Andy Lau and Takeshi Kaneshiro, has been leaked online over at Youtube. I'm guessing this might be the promo reel that Todd saw at the HK Filmart. It looks totally insane in a good way and it certainly live up to the word, warlords. The story center around three sworn brothers, set during the Taiping rebellion (1851-64) with themes involving brotherhood, betrayal, and revenge. Peter Chan has stress before that the film is not a remake of Chang Cheh’s The Blood Brothers.
Shooting is already finished and it's currently in post production. The film is expected to be release across Asia on December 13th.

Now that's eye candy that's got me excited. I wasn't aware that Jet Li had worked on this!
Wow. This movie makes me excited. I hope it gets released stateside.
bad timing.
by the youtube commentary, it looks like people are seeing this as a chinese ripoff of "300"
