2046<\/b>
and this movie news goes out to derrick<\/a>. and um\u2026i suppose other wong kar wai fans too. the guardian has the first review ive seen so far for wkw\u2019s next movie 2046<\/a>. a sort of \u201csequel\u201d to his in the mood for love 2001<\/i> remix, 2046 is a hybrid sci-fi dream hidden within a romance\/drama, where the writer chow (tony leung) hides away in the future settings of the novel he\u2019s writing. the movie also stars zhang ziyi and wong faye and should be pretty trippy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
