Killer Bean Returns in "Killer Bean Forever"
Written by Arya Ponto
Tuesday, 11 November 2008   

Flashback 8 years ago. I was surfing the internet on a crappy dial-up connection. YouTube had not been invented yet, so the now-defunct-and-redirected-to-Spike-TV's-official-site iFilm.com was where its at to see online short films. With it taking so long just to load one video, when I came across a memorable one I downloaded it so I could watch it anytime without loading time. One of them that I could never forget was Killer Bean 2: The Party.

The John Woo fan in me loved it, and wanted more. The short's animator, Jeff Lew, went on to work visual effects on films like X-Men and The Matrix Reloaded (as lead animator), but he promised to bring Killer Bean back as a feature length film. For the past 4 years, Lew has been working on Killer Bean Forever, and now he has a kickass trailer to show.

Killer Bean Forever is an 85-minute film that will be made available in 1080p High Definition. The plot sounds like it's ripped right off an old school John Woo/Chow Yun-Fat film: in the dangerous city of Beantown, top coffee bean assassin Killer Bean wages a war against mob boss Cappuccino. Detective Cromwell, a cop obsessed with taking down Cappuccino, is forced to choose between arresting a dangerous killer or helping him take down a cancerous crime syndicate.

Watch the trailer below and join the drooling wait for its release.
