Comrade Detective coming to Amazon Video on August 4th
It is announced that Channing Tatum's faux Romanian cop show Comrade Detective is coming to Amazon Video on August 4th. The show was originally titled "Iron Fisting". To avoid confusion with Netflix's Iron Fist, now it is properly renamed as "Comrade Detective". By the way, in Chinese "Comrade" is a code name for gay men.
I know the show was filmed in Europe last fall, I am glad we are going to see it soon. The good news is that Channing and Joseph Gordon-Levitt will voice the two leads of the show. I like the fact that Channing and JGL are so keen to work together.
Comrade Detective is described as follows: "In the thick of 1980's Cold War hysteria, the Romanian government created the country's most popular and longest-running series, Comrade Detective, a sleek and gritty police show that not only entertained its citizens but also promoted Communist ideals and inspired a deep nationalism. The action-packed and blood-soaked first season finds Detectives Gregor Anghel and Iosef Baciu investigating the murder of fellow officer Nikita Ionesco and, in the process, unraveling a subversive plot to destroy their country that is fueled by - what else - the greatest enemy: capitalism."
According to the series description, the show "was sadly forgotten about after the fall of the Berlin Wall" but has now been rediscovered and remastered with the help of Tatum and Gordon-Levitt. Comrade Detective is further described as "a true portal into a time and place and a powerful reminder of what art can be - and it is now ready to be seen by the modern world on a larger scale than ever before."
Now I am looking forward to its trailer.
Speaking of trailer, Logan Lucky has a UK trailer now. It's a bit different from the US one, more footage.
