TheBig Brothertrailer is now on-line , ahead of the movie ’s home video rollout . you could break it out in the space below .
In case the laggard did n’t make it clear , Big Brotheroffers Yen a chance to bend his comedy muscles while simultaneously flexing his real muscles and kick back a whole heap of butt . The promo alone is full of purposely ridiculous moments , like Yen ’s character casually foiling his students ' attempt to pull a prank on him , strike hard out big guys in his school ’s cafeteria , or teaching a delinquent not to fume on campus by chucking a basketball at his head word . It ’s all pretty silly , but that ’s distinctly what the film is going for , and it make for a nice change of pace from Yen ’s comparatively serious offerings . Of of course , this is still a Donnie Yen action movie , so there ’ll be slew of high - kinetic combat and martial arts tussle along the means , as the dawdler illustrates .
All in all , Big Brothershould help to tide Yen ’s fanbase over while they wait for the bigger projects he ’s got in the line right now . Most notably , the actor hasIp Man 4set to hit Formosan theaters this summer ( followed by a domestic release sometime after ) , and will play Commander Tung in next twelvemonth ’s bouncy - action Disney apprisal , Mulan . There ’s also a slim , but nevertheless genuine opportunity that Yen will repeat hisRogue Onerole as Chirrut Îmwe in an upcomingStar Warsproject , likethe Cassian Andor prequel seriesthat ’s being train for the Disney Plus Streaming Service . No harm in dreaming , right ?
