The films title is "Smart Chase: Fire & Earth" [1].Slatersteven (talk) 10:31, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

The movie poster has revealed the name is now known as S.M.A.R.T. Chase. It is as simple as that. Also the remaining main cast has also been identified.Supermann (talk) 11:17, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

Fair enough, as to the cast. Use the movie poster as a source then, and not a page that does not list them.Slatersteven (talk) 11:18, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

Here (by the way) is why IMDB is not really an RS [2], they call it "Smart Chase: Fire & Earth" (and have ht poster).Slatersteven (talk) 11:20, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi Slatersteven, as you could see, IMDb has caught up to reflect the new name god knows when. I would say IMDb is an RS over the time. Since I am not allowed for six months to make direct edits, would you mind expanding the page a little bit by looking at this clip? It was Orlando Bloom appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on May 24 to talk about the film. It is going to be released in 2017, in case you wonder just like Bovineboy2008 does. Thanks.Supermann (talk) 20:31, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

IMDB is never RS, because it of reasons like the above. If you woulds like an edit made suggest what the edit should be here. Oh and irrespective of what Mr Bloom says until it is released we do not know when it will be released, only that they want to release it.Slatersteven (talk) 09:36, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

Always have to have the last say, huh? Same mentality as "You don't score until you score." :) Supermann (talk) 15:45, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

What? you asked my opinion. I asked you to strike the above as (in effect) a personal attack).Slatersteven (talk) 09:35, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

I was using American humor and an analogy, since you said, which I paraphrased, "it is not released until it is released." When you had so little faith in your own fellow countryman, I don't know what I should make of it. I thought movies should bring us together not divide us, mate?

I now do see we have a policy WP:Citing IMDb, but when we initially discussed it, I do recall the new movie poster had been released. Could you please cut me some slacks and update the IMDb template? Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Supermann (talk) 05:04, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

According to the official social media page for the movie in Chinese, on July 12, the release date in 2017 would be announced in a press conference. I hope @Bovineboy2008: could tune in for the 60s teaser at http://weibo.com/5866419168/Fba37ENIb and keep following reporting in English sources.Supermann (talk) 15:15, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

The release date press conference will be aired live on http://live.mtime.com/. @Bovineboy2008: If you don't want to wait for delayed secondary source, here is the chance.Supermann (talk) 15:15, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

So what did they say?Slatersteven (talk) 15:50, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

It will be released in China on September 30, 2017. Regrettably, the trailer is not yet available on trailers.apple.com and I assume the date for American debut would take a while. This is not a big studio worldwide release. Have you seen the trailer yet? Supermann (talk) 16:23, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
