Guest ZeroXcape Posted May 18, 2001 Share Posted May 18, 2001 Talk about a damn cool video game license... this has major potential. <blockquote>Ubi Soft® Entertainment, one of the top 10 interactive entertainment publishers worldwide, announced today that it has acquired the license from Sony Pictures Consumer Products for “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon™”. The smash movie, based on the book by the same name, garnered 10 Oscar nominations and 4 awards last year, including best foreign language film. In addition, the movie generated gross box office receipts in excess of $125 million in the United States. Ubi Soft will now develop and publish worldwide games based on the intricate story and intense martial arts theme. Using the hottest new technologies and a team of highly specialized graphic and design experts, Ubi Soft will ensure that the games include the same mindblowing special effects that thrilled moviegoers around the world and left fans wanting more. Spring of 2002 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon™ will debut on formats including PlayStation®2, PC, GameCube, Game Boy® Advance and Xbox. The movie recounts the story of two Chinese warriors, a man and a woman, who, while devoting themselves to the duty and honor of their ancient profession, have ignored their love for one another. They battle both internal demons and external enemies with incredible martial arts tactics combining electrifying fight sequences, acrobatic action, and eye-catching flight choreography, in the battle to save the spirit and righteousness of a young warrior princess and find one another again.</blockquote> ------------------ ZeroXcape EMI.com Webmaster zeroxcape@escapemi.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see what the whole hoopla was about--the movie was mediocre... It didn't deserve those oscars... ------------------ -Yorick the King's Jester Backfire Killed the Sly - The Adventure Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtBlanc Posted May 20, 2001 Share Posted May 20, 2001 Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was an excellent movie from an Eastern standpoint. The movie doesn't really have a solid plot, and it does meander significantly away from that plot line (Did someone say the desert sequence?). The cinematography is poor, resulting in a lackluster and somewhat boring experience. However, this film shouldn't be judged from a purely Western standpoint, as I have just done. Eastern filmmakers like the characters to exude their own energy into the camera to make an exciting shot. (I still don't understand where these Eastern filmmakers come from.) Sure, the film could have been an epic, a film on par with Lawrence of Arabia, but that wasn't Lee's intent. He wanted the story to be very personal, and allow the characters to put their own energy into the movie. (I still don't get Eastern filmmaking.) ------------------ "I hope I die before I get old." -Roger Daltrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
