We've been following the progress of Kenneth Bi's The Drummer for some time now but things have been quiet on that front since the first teaser appeared back in November. Well, with the film slated to premiere in August the promotional train is starting to roll and the full theatrical trailer has just released and is looking good.
The film marks the first role of any real substance -- as judged by content rather than screen time -- for Jaycee Chan, looking to cultivate a career of his own rather than simply resting in the shadow of his megastar father. And, honestly, judging from what he shows in this, the kid's got a chance. He's got a good presence on screen. And with a stellar cast backing him up -- Tony Leung Ka Fai (Big Tony), Angelica Lee, Roy Cheung, Josie Ho and Kenneth Tsang round it out -- this should be one fine piece of work. There is also a new music video available featuring cellist Trey Lee.
