These days it's hard to keep up with all the billboards for
Netflix's original content, be it comedy specials, documentaries, TV series or new movies. Compared to other big studios, the subscription streaming service doesn't promote too far in advance of its release date either, choosing to advertise when its offering are available to watch almost immediately.
Having enjoyed great success with TV shows like
House of Cards, Orange is the New Black and
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, they've recently turned their attention to acquiring films which would normally appear on the big screen (much to the chagrin of other studios), like the recent
Beasts of No Nation and the sequel to 2000's
Oscar-winning epic,
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Fifteen years later and
Michelle Yeoh is back as warrior
'Yu Shu Lien' to defy gravity again through the wonders of wire-work stunts in
Sword of Destiny. This time she's joined by
Donnie Yen, Natasha Liu Bordizzo and
Harry Shum, Jr. to thwart an evil warlord and safeguard a legendary sword in a tale of young love, lost love and redemption.
These sword-wielding billboards were photographed in two locations along
West Hollywood's busy
Sunset Strip on February 24, 2016.
For more martial arts-themed billboards, be sure to also check out these
47 Ronin movie billboards and
Into the Badlands TV billboards.
Let's see if this new installment be able to capture the same sense of awe and exhilaration as the original
Ang Lee-directed box office phenomenon and spawn more fantastical martial arts movies in the future.
