Seven Swords

Went to see a new Kung Foo movie, Seven Swords, directed by Tsui Hark the legendary in Chinese film himself.

The story's not new. It's about a small village being invaded by an Evil emperor, and 7 swordsmen are band together to fight back.

The thing I like most about this movie is actually the sword design. I think they did a superb job in this. Part of teh sword's created using ZBrush Displacement system. Such a lovely sword ;) indeed.

The man creating it is Glenn Melenhorst (You may check his site at http://www.glennmelenhorst.com/index.html )
