Estos servicios de video bajo demanmda estan entrando muy fuerte, y ahora hasta haran cambios en la industria al producir no solo series, sino tambien peliculas, las cuales algunas quiza se exhiban en las salas comerciales de cine.
Y para esta nueva aventura de produccion cinematografica eligen un titulo poco esperado, pero con un gran exito en su momento.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Green Legend, netflix producira una secuela de la famosa pelicula "El tigre y el Dragon" . En la "leyenda Verde" veremos mas de la vida de Yu Shu-Lien, y se espera salga en los primeros meses del 2016, que originalmente se pensaba estrenar el 28 de agosto en salas iIMAX y en NetFlix, pero por problemas con imax se tuvo que retrasar.
Netflix is getting into the movie-making business. The streaming service announced this week that it would team with Weinstein Co. to give a day-and-date release to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Green Legend, the sequel to Ang Lee‘s 2000 film. The movie will hit Netflix and IMAX simultaneously in summer 2015.
Fight choreographer Yuen Woo-Ping is directing this one, with Michelle Yeoh reprising her role as Yu Shu-Lien. Donnie Yen joins the cast as Silent Wolf. Hit the jump for all the details on the Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon sequel Netflix / IMAX release. Plus, get a look at the first Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon sequel photos.
Netflix revealed the big news in a press release. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Green Legend will premiere exclusively on Netflix and in select IMAX theaters on August 28, 2015. It’s one of several day-and-date releases Netflix has planned, but as of now is slated to be the first one out of the gate.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Green Legend will be made available to Netflix subscribers at no additional cost. Only IMAX will screen the film that day, not other (regular) theater chains. That makes for two very different options, and Netflix’s chief content officer Ted Sarandos says that’s the point.
“What I am hoping is that it will be a proof point that the sky doesn’t fall,” he told the New York Times. “These are two different experiences, like going to a football game and watching a football game on TV.”
Harry Shum Jr., Jason Scott Lee, Roger Yuan, and Natasha Liu Bordizzo also star in the action sequel, which is shooting right now in New Zealand. It’s based on Wang Dulu‘s novel Iron Knight, Silver Vase, the fifth book in the Crane-Iron Pentalogy (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was #4).

¿Y como estan respondiendo las salas de cine a esta idea de estrenar el mismo dia tanto en salas y en la plataforma NetFlix?, pues almenos algunas hablaban de emprender un boicot.
