A three minute trailer has been unveiled online yesterday across every Chinese media outlet for the upcoming biopic Confucius with Chow Yun-Fat in the title role as the ancient philosopher. Although there is not a single line of dialogue spoken, the production values and the decorated sets featured in the video looks absolutely gorgeous. Perhaps this is the role that will catapult Chow back into the winning spotlight after his last couple misfire.
Confucius (551 BC-479 BC), was born in the ancient Chinese state of Lu, today’s Qufu City in Shandong Province. He was a great educator, philosopher, a renowned politician and the founding father of Confucianism. The film focuses on the great philosopher’s life experiences from 51 to 73.
The film is schedule for release in the Spring of 2010. You’ll find the trailer embedded below after the break
