A Woman, A Gun And A Noodle Shop Trailer

Let me ask you something, did you like the Coen Brothers’ Blood Simple? If so, I thought I would let you know that the US trailer for Zhang Yimou’s remake of that very film has finally landed. The director of this black comedy has also directed Hero (Jet Li) and The House of Flying Daggers which gives him some serious credibility and makes me feel confident that this remake will do justice to the original. Check out the trailer for A Women, A Gun And A Noddle Shop and more after the jump.

Plot: Wang is a gloomy and cunning noodle shop owner in a desert town in China. Feeling neglected, Wang’s wife secretly goes out with his employee, Li. A timid man, Li reluctantly keeps the gun the landlady bought for ‘killing her husband later’. However, not a single move they make escapes the boss’s notice, and he decides to bribe patrol officer Zhang to kill the illicit couple. It looks like a perfect plan: the affair will come to a cruel but satisfying end… or so he thinks, but the equally wicked Zhang has an agenda of his own that will lead to even more violence…

Sony Picture Classics is distributing the film and it will have a limited release beginning September 3rd.
