Election 2 Premieres In April!
Posted by Todd Brown at 12:11pm.
Posted in Trailer Alerts , Drama, Asia.
Oooh ... good news on this, courtesy of Kaiju Shakedown ...
Johnny To has long been a fantastically frustrating director for me one who I keep expecting great things from only to be left a bit cold by his films. But that changed in a BIG way with Election, his sprawling crime drama that stands as one of the absolute best triad films ever made. This one hit home for me in a big way and in my book, at least, is very clearly the masterwork of To’s career to this point (though, admittedly, I still haven’t seen The Mission).
To clearly wasn’t done with the criminal world of Election when that film wrapped so I’ve been eagerly anticipating the sequel and Grady at Kaiju Shakedown has gotten word that the film will open the Hong Kong International Film Festival in early April before getting a theatrical launch in May. If any Twitch folk will be attending the HKIFF we would LOVE a report back on this one ...
And with Election 2 in the can, can we now expect a special edition DVD release of the much longer version of the first film? Because this will definitely be a case where more is better, and Todd wants more.

Election is nice, but is waaaaay behind
The Mission, A Hero never dies, Where a good man goes, Breaking News, PTU or the Milkyway productions from the late 90’s like Patrick Leung’s “Beyond Hypothermia”, Wai’s “Too many ways to be number one” and not to mention the 3 Patrick Lau/Johnnie To Movies: The odd one dies, The Longest Nite and the masterpiece Expect the Unexpected.

Election 1 was allright, parts were extremely confusing though.
