The new movie featuring Jackie Chan and Arnold Schwarzenegger has finally hit DVD and Blu Ray. Today. In France. No word on when the movie will be available in the US.Β . . The title of the movie on the French Blu Ray is The Mystery of the Dragon Seal. The title of the movie if it had hit US theaters would have been The Iron Mask. Other titles include Journey to China and Viy 2. And often the titles of the movie incorporate 2 of these phrases. The movie is currently listed on IMDb as Journey to China: The Mystery of Iron Mask. Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kmm53TqEtRQ . . The movie is a sequel to Viy (2014/2015) which is currently available on Prime Video, YouTube, iTunes, Microsoft ($12.99) and Vudu ($14.99) as Forbidden Empire. Itβs not on Movies Anywhere so if you buy it one place, it wonβt populate to the others. . You know you have the right Forbidden Empire movie if it stars Jason Flemyng (The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Pennyworth, The 2012 Great Expectations, X-Men: First Class, Layer Cake, Below). Jason Flemyng and Charles Dance are in both movies. The new one also stars Rutger Hauer in one of his final roles. Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb5kUPGIGzI . . If you are able to buy the DVD or Blu Ray (Region B) of The Mystery of the Dragon Seal, (and the listing on Amazon.fr doesnβt show them currently having it in stock, and other sellers canβt ship it to the US) it will probably take 2+/- months to get here and it might already be available here by that point. . . . The movies are based loosely on "Viy", a horror novella by Russian writer Nikolai Gogol, first published in the first volume of his collection of tales entitled Mirgorod (1835). The title is also the name of the demonic entity central to the plot. . Mario Bava's film Black Sunday is loosely based on "Viy". #jackiechan #ArnoldSchwarzenegger #viy #NikolaiGogol #JasonFlemyng #CharlesDance #RutgerHauer #JourneyToChina #theironmask #ironmask #mysteryofironmask #JourneytoChinaTheMysteryofIronMask #mysteryofthedragonseal #themysteryofthedragonseal #blacksunday #MarioBava #2020movies #evilspirit #forbiddenempire #primevideo #vudu #mirgorod (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCaANoJB5Y0/?igshid=ieowzednjcmm
