zhang yi mou and wong kar wai

[ current selection | outkast – hey ya ]
[ feelin’ | toasty ]

new info surfaced today on aicn about zhang yi mou and wong kar wais newest movies. following his booty-kicking turn at hero, zhang is going back into martial arts with shi mian mai fu (house of flying daggers) with zhang ziyi, andy lau (prosthetic boy…bwahaha), and takeshi kaneshiro. and in a bit of a surprise, they also had news about wong kar wais movie 2046. go fig. his long-in-development 2046 is supposedly in its final stages of post-production and could be out in time for the cannes film festival. starring a big ensemble cast including zhang ziyi, faye wong, and tony leung, it has an interesting enough faux-plot (since none of wkw’s movies actually have plots). ags used to send msgs from the set like, “zi’s a prostitute, and shes up on the roof in heels jumping around crouching tiger-style…” which i would just reply with “wtf?” interesting indeed.
