Randy Blythe - To Star In Taiwanese Movie With Chthonic

Lamb Of God's frontman Randy Blythe is trying his hand at acting and it seems like the Taiwanese melodic black metallers Chthonic are also involved. In fact, they were the ones that invited Randy Blythe to work with them on this action movie. In a recent post on his Instagram, Blythe posted a picture of him and Chthonic's bassist Doris "Thunder Tears" Yeh at work on the set of the movie.

Blythe explains what he has been up to: "First day at a new job. Ok, despite the fact that I love running all over Asia, taking pictures, & eating, I am really here to WORK. This is my friend Doris & I earlier today on the set of a movie that she & her band, Chthonic are making. Chthonic are from Taiwan, & they have been good friends of mine since we did Ozzfest '07 together. Three years ago they flew me over to sing a few songs with them at a show they held in an ancient temple in the mountains of Taiwan, then me & my wife kicked it here for two weeks on vacation. Taiwan is a beautiful island, one of the hidden jewels of Asia I believe, & I couldn't wait to come back. Then earlier this year Freddy (Chthonic's singer) asked me 'Hey, do you wanna be in an action movie we are making?' Let's see, lemme think about tha- UM, YES. So I flew here from Japan after Knotfest & started filming today.

"The movie is supposed to primarily be a comedy with lots of action & knowing Chthonic, a bit of politics - without giving away too much of the plot, let's just say there is a bit of civil unrest my character & the star of the movie (who is a really famous actor in Taiwan) participate in. I'll put some behind the scenes shots up as I get time - early call for the set tomorrow, so I'm gonna crash. PS- these are not my sunglasses - I'm supposed to look 'Rock Star-ish' & my regular clothes weren't rock star enough (I guess the Army surplus store on the Southside of RVA doesn't carry rock star duds, hahaha) - the sunglasses kinda make feel 1970's Asian film star though - kinda like late era-Bruce Lee. But a lot taller. And not Asian. And without being able to crush someone's chest with a one inch punch. Dammit! Ok, so I'm not like Bruce Lee at all, hahaha. Still, it's gonna be FUN. PPS- no, there is no English title for the movie... YET. I'll let y'all know when there is one."

Chthonic have also shared pictures on their Facebook page of the movie in production:

I think they do. My best friend is Taiwanese, I just wouldn't come and annoy you without sources haha. They do have some differences with continental Mandarin, but the two are very similar and can understand each other without any problem. It's like two regional versions of the same language. The differences become more pronounced when you dig deeper in time and literature though. But nah, that was cute, not dumb . Loading...

Still Taiwanese people call it "Mandarin" just as well. I don't really know much about it but from I gathered Taiwanese (or Taiwanese Hokkien) is a dialect of Mandarin and aren't necessarily the same even though Taiwanese originates from the other. Supposedly they are mutually unintelligible and understanding one does not mean automatically being able to understand the other. Loading...

That's not what my friend told me, but I suppose there must also be differences between the cities and the rural parts.

I'm glad something good came from this then =P But yeah, this looks complicated. I suppose it's probably in the same way that some Chinese dialects and varieties are not always mutually understood with other Chinese dialects and varieties, and therefore some regional dialects of Taiwan are derived from a variety of Chinese dialects as a result. Supposedly Taiwanese Hokkien ("Taiwanese") comes from Min Nan, which comes from the Chinese dialect of Min, rather than Mandarin, so I was wrong there, but that would explain why Mandarin and Taiwanese Hokkien might not be able to understand each other. But it looks like 100% or close to of Taiwan speak and understand Mandarin, and 70% understand Taiwanese (Hokkien). Breath. Loading...

My feels are hurt and I am now craving for Taiwanese dumplings. Indeed, reading the specifics in that article reminded me of the complicated history and culture my friend always told me about, and the successive waves of immigration from different parts of China to specific regions in Taiwan. That's why she always got extremely angry when people called her "chinese". They have a very rich and distinctive culture even if both histories are indissociable. But to go back to the original point, the movie will most likely be as easily understandable as metropolitan French for a French Québecois for example. Maybe I should have added this nuance. I'll even make a point of watching that movie with her when we see each other, she'll tell me. We both were fans of Chthonic when we were young. Loading...

Yeah ultimately I imagine this film will be in Mandarin. Had a quick look and Chthonic apparently sing almost always in Taiwanese but branch into Mandarin sometimes. Also, Mandarin Dumpling sounds like a pet name for a girlfriend. Doris Yeh is just about my only interest in them though =P *Taiwanese Dumpling Loading...
