Though it doesn't yet have overseas distribution, Zhang Yimou's latest, war epic The Flowers Of War, is already being entered by China as its submission to the foreign-language Oscar category. Now the trailer has arrived online and can be watched below.
Christian Bale stars as missionary John Haufman, who is caught up in the chaos in Nanking as the Japanese Imperial Army overran the Chinese capital city in 1937.
Haufman helped a group of schoolgirls and prostitutes to escape the invading forces, at a time when many of them were being killed or captured to be used as escorts for the troops.
Liu Heng adapted the script from Yan Geling's novel 13 Flowers Of Nanjing, and the film also stars Paul Schneider and Shigeo Kobayashi. From the looks of the final result, Zhang certainly didn't skimp on the visuals, and with Bale providing a solid core, this is one we're eager to...

The Flowers of War Trailer. Yimou Zhang‘s The Flowers of War (2011) international movie trailer stars Christian Bale and Shigeo Kobayashi. The Flowers of War‘s plot synopsis: Based on a historical novel by Yan Geling, and shot with a mixture of Chinese and English dialogue (and some Japanese), the film has Bale playing “John Haufman, a salty mortician who apparently has come to town to bury the priest of a cathedral in Nanking. The cathedral also has a school for girls, and with war waging all around and the priest dead, John dons the priests’ vestments and works out a temporary reprieve from the rampaging Japanese soldiers…’The Flowers Of War’ focuses on the Nanjing Massacre in 1937, when thousands of inhabitants of the then-capital Nanjing were murdered by invading Japanese troops.”

Coming off his Oscar win for The Fighter, Christian Bale must have had no time off, as his Chinese epic The 13 Women of Nanjing wrapped, overlapping with Christopher Nolan‘s The Dark Knight Rises production. We already got a look at two images from the next film from Hero director Zhang Yimou, but you can take a look at a new one above.
Film Business Asia via Anne Thompson at indieWIRE reports the production took 164 days and was “the director’s toughest yet.” Bale stars alongside Shigeo Kobayashi as an American priest named John “who takes refuge in a church with 13 prostitutes and a group of innocent schoolgirls during the fighting between Chinese and Japanese troops in 1937. Based on Yan Geling‘s novel The 13 Women of Nanjing, it’s been scripted by Yan and Liu Heng, and is said to be 40% in English, with the other 60% being in Mandarin.
