Have I been disappointed by Tsui Hark’s output of late? You bet I have. So why keep tracking his films? Because the man’s a living legend, that’s why, and who knows when he’ll round back into form. Will it be with his underwater thriller Missing? No clue, though it stars the always strong Angelica Lee and features extensive underwater photography in the actual sunken city of Yonaguni and those two facts alone make it worth checking out. And freshly arrived to sway your opinion is the film’s first official trailer.
It’s currently streaming on Chinese web portal SINA, a notoriously glitchy site that I have probably about a ten percent success rate on when it comes to actually having their video player work and this particular trailer finds itself in the other ninety percent so I haven’t actually see it yet. Grady Hendrix has, though, and he’s less than impressed. If some kind soul could capture this and load it into the Twitch Player so that those of us not looked kindly upon by the SINA gods could see it too, that’d be lovely.

i loaded the trailer into the twitch player. some mildly interesting imagery, but not much else in there to indicate that tsui hark is reverting back to form unfortunately…

IMO, Hark has never been that good, i seriously doubt he will ever return to form after making so many awful films.
