This film isn’t referencing Journey to the West but the Hindu deity Hanuman which was the inspiration for the character of Sun Wukong.

Wukong itself is an inspiration from Hanuman.

The movie was finished years ago but Netflix shelved it I believe. Then Peele insisted that this movie deserves to be seen in the theatres and pushed for a theatre release and thats how he's become the producer.

The monkey character is from Hinduism, it’s Hanuman, who is a god of strength and courage (among other things). His myth and the Sun Wukong myth might have originated from the same idea, but Hanuman is more appropriate for the Indian setting 🙂

This is Dev Patel debut as a director!

The director Dev Patel (also the star) has been trained in martial arts for YEARS, and had been trying and trying to be a lead in a big action role. When nothing popped up, he said fuck it, I’ll do it myself and made it himself. On top of the whole Netflix angle, this jumped to my most anticipated of this year

Happy seeing Rick reacting with the crew again.

PLEASEEE put some respect on Dev. Hes so much more than "Prince Zuko" lmfao. Slumdog, Chappie, The Green Knight, Lion w Nicole Kidman. And not only is he acting, and writing, but this bad ass action film is going to be his directorial debut! Dev has combat training he wanted to show off for years now, but Hollywood dont wanna let a brown man lead a film like this, so he said "fuck it ill write the damn thing myself ANDD cast my self as the fuckin' lead". Peele saw the film and said "this NEEDS to be seen by audiences" and co signed tf out of it and gave it the buzz it deserves.

It's like an Indian version of John Wick but I can't wait for it and Dev Patel is such a GREAT actor!!!

Dev Patel x Jordan Peele is an insanely fun combo

Dev Patel finished making this movie in 2021 and Netflix bought the distribution rights. Jordan Peele saw the film and somehow got the rights to it. Now it's coming to theaters.

@billbill6094

4 ай бұрын

"Somehow" was a 30 mill purchase.

Prince Zuko?? Jesus wept. All of his phenomenal work and that's what you remember him for lol

Dev Patel is mostly known for dramatic roles like Slumdog Millionaire and Lion, and while I doubt he won't be acting his ass off like he usually does, it seems he was itching for an excuse to use that Tae Kwon Do black belt of his. Said alright, if you won't give me an action movie, I'll make me an action movie. Jordan Peele had nothing to do with the making of the movie, but he saw it was going to go straight to streaming like so many amazing movies do these days and decided it needed better. So he bought it for about 30 mill from Netflix so it could actually get a theatrical release, which it looks like it deserves. The Hanuman myth is older than Son Wukong but they're related, like much of Chinese culture from Zen Buddhism to Gung-Fu, Journey to the West has its roots in India.

@@mum-your Yeah its a little bit too vague for them haha, but its still one of my favorite films of the past 5 years.

Fun fact: the song heard predominantly in the trailer is Panjabi MC's 'Mundian To Bach Ke' (or, specifically, the Jay Z-featuring version 'Beware'), uses drum and bassline from Busta Rhymes' Fire It Up, (which is in turn based on the theme from Knight Rider,) is one of the most well known pieces of bhangra music outside of India and the subcontinent, and was recorded in, survey says... Birmingham, UK, my hometown and home to the third largest population of Indians in Britain. Which doesn't sound like much, but when you're also second largest city and the biggest is London, you take what you get really. 😋

Dev Patel is British. Regardless, around 10% of the Indian population speaks English, that might not seem like a lot, but it's around 130 million people, so especially when it comes to films aimed to be international it is not at all surprising it would be in English. I feel like you are either forgetting or are blissfully unaware of the massive British colonization of the subcontinent

i’m soooo excited for this film

Dev Patel is awesome. Love him...can't wait to see the movie!

Happy to see you again Rick =)

Red Band trailer goes hard 🔥

Not every action movie is John Wick, my dudes. This reminds me of the grand tales of revenge from 90s South India. The heroes endure hell due to powerful corrupt, but seek revenge for their loved ones after training. There may or may not be divine bleasings involved, but whatever blessing they get is not noticeable. Here it seems Lord Hanuman may be the patron. I think we have a resurgence of those tales recently, the latest was a Kannada film called Toby. But Toby is closer to John Wick.

Forgot that I first saw Dev Patel in Skins. I'm excited for this. Hoping it shows in my country.

Highly recommend watching Hotel Mumbai or Lion to see Dev at his best.

They have no idea who Dev Patel is, do they. Lol.

This movie is out on digital now lol hope the channel reacts to it.

Its not journey to the west. Its centered around the story of hanuman

This looks interesting especially this seems to maybe take inspiration on Hanuman mythology

5:00 Yes, they are made so you dont jump through them :D

I'd watch it in the cinema. You guys can react to White Tiger in the meantime. It's not action, but it has great story and acting.

I believe the monkey is supposed to be Hanuman, the Hindu God of Wisdom, Strength, and Self-Discipline

He's great in Lion.

Groovy

I think Dev Patel directed this movie. He’s the actor from slumdog millionaire.

Should have watch the uncensored trailer

Another one to check out the trailer for is Boy Kills World... and I guess Borderlands if anyone played those

There was a small part of me thinking that this was going to be an Austin Powers spin-off.

They can release this movie as Vanar in India.

Jordan Peele tries to get this film in theatres. Calvin: I definitely want to do a reaction to this. 😂 Just joking, you guys can watch it however, whenever and wherever you want. You guys should also check out 'The Green Knight' with Dev Patel.

Oh, if they’re not familiar with Dev then they should watch The Green Knight if they haven’t seen Slumdog Millionaire

Written directed and starring Dev Patel. The scrawny British Asian kid from Skins has certainly grown up!

Are you guys planning to watch Society of the Snow? So many reaction channels are doing it and getting so many views I don’t understand why big channels like this one is not doing it (maybe they’re just not interested in watching something with subtitles?) anyways, I recommend it. 💕

Instead of ending with discussions full of easily answerable questions asked into a void as you all can't answer them, why not instruct one of your staff to be off camera with the pertinent info who you can get answers from and he/she will share interesting info? Is it an American production? He/she answers. Is this Dev's directorial debut? What role does Jordan Peele have as producer? Etc. If you don't have any on location staff to do that then task them with doing the research, typing it up and sending y'all the document to read after the reaction is over. Obviously your employee would know to avoid giving spoilers but give y'all all the pertinent info to answer your Qs. Just a thought that imo would improve reactions for trailers.

Most of this trailer looks phenomenal, but then the weird comedic breaks just completely kill it.

Hope the movie isn't just a pseudo-Indian boot lick to Western audiences, given that Patel is British and Peele is American. I hope this is made in homage to the great Indian action movies of recent (especially south indian movies like rrr, salaar, kgf) and of their long history of showcasing rage, anger and action to social issues. I hope this is done tastefully, or it will just be another Western movie villifying social problems in another country, like poverty (as if it's some third world problem that the West doesn't also contend with), when those stories are best told by their own. Since some of you liked RRR, you guys should check Salaar (on Netflix, telugu language), Leo (on Netflix, Tamil language) and kgf 1 and 2 (on Netlix, Kannada language). Try to rest down the Western framework, and go with an open mind, eg the expression of emotion through song and strength.
