The Water Margin

[Danny McG]

I saw (somewhere or other but I can't find it now) that there's a new version of the martial arts series The Water Margin being made, anybody heard about this?

+To be honest I'm not even sure if it's TV or a book series)

Never heard of this new version but I have both the book and the original series on a set of DVDs. I still love it

Here's a couple of trailers for the original

As for the original... Essential Friday[?] teatime viewing!

The Water Margin is a very very old classic Chinese novel written in the 14th century Ming dynasty by Shia Naian . It's pretty good read.

[Le Panda du Mal]

Like Journey to the West and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it's a novel that's so old and popular that it's practically folklore at this point. A source for comics, video games, movies, operas, etc. These books are basically the foundation of the wuxia genre.
