[2010.07.01] DONNIE YEN WANTS TO CREATE AN ALL NEW LORD GUAN

5:06 PM |

After playing Ip Man and Chen Zhen, Donnie Yen Chi Tan will again play another historical figure -- "martial art saint" Guan Yu. The film THE LOST BLADESMAN (GUAN WON CHEUNG) yesterday held its global press conference in Beijing. Some of the cast were announced. Aside from Yen Chi Tan as Guan Yu, Alex Fong Chung Shun will play Liu Bei. Another key figure Cao Cao has been kept until wraps.

Director Felix Chong Man Keung and Alan Mak Siu Fai yesterday led the actors to the press conference. They included Yen Chi Tan, Sun Li, Wang Xuebing, Shao Bing, Wang Bo Chieh, Fong Chung Shun, Zhao Ke, Calvin Li Zonghan, Dong Yong and others. The media were concerned whether Yen Chi Tan resembled Guan Yu. The production pointed out that this production was an interpretation of history and not a character biography. As for how Chi Tan would interpret forcing five passes and slaying six captains as well as Three Kingdoms era action, he pointed out that everyone would know after the film release.

However, Chi Tan expressed that at first he suspected whether he understood the history and feared that he could not play Guan Yu, a character who has contributed so much to history, and that he would ruin the audience's impression of Guan Yu. Thus before making this film he set two requirements for the director. He asked that the director must have never made a costume film so the concept would be new. The second requirement was a top director who was able to assist him in completing the creation of the Guan Yu image. Chi Tan also had a lot of homework to do. Not only research but also chats with the directors to deepen their knowledge, understanding, inquiry and input. He had to feel that he was Guan Yu. Chi Tan expressed that he threw himself into the production as he was at work everyday. Instead when he made IP MAN, he went home everyday.

Mak Siu Fai and Chong Man Keung expressed that this story centered around "Guang Yunchang after falling deep into the Cao camp forced five passed and slew six captains to return to Liu Bei". They would display the Guan Yu in their hearts to the audience. Despite being the "martial art saint", Guan Yu's position far surpassed this title. Because Chinese around the world worshipped Guan Yu, in their hearts Guan Yunchang was already a "god". What would be different between the film's Guan Yunchang and the traditional Lord Guan image? The directors expressed with certainty that in the film Lord Guan would not appear in a green hat. This film was loyal to history and not based on ROMANCE OF THREE KINGDOMS. In ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS Guan Yu was nine feet tall, but that was not the Guan Yu in history. Would Guan Yu appear as "red faced Lord Guan"? They pointed out many people's impressions came from ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS, which also had "red face, white face, black face, yellow face". Each color represented a certain meaning. Red faced Lord Gun represented loyalty. They would not handle the film in this manner.

Sun Li had a part in the film but kept quiet about it. She expressed that this was her second collaboration with Chi Tan. She felt that she was very fortunate to be able to work with Chi Tan, who took great care of everyone. She revealed that in THE LOST BLADESMAN she and Chi Tan would have a misunderstanding. She hated him and sometimes would look down upon him. In addition, the special guest from Guan Yu's hometown, Xian provincial party committee promotional department chief Hu Suping yesterday presented two Guan Yu bronze statues to the production. Reportedly national treasure level bronze statue casting master made the

statues.

[2010.07.01] KWAI LUN-MEI DOES NOT MIND SCENE CUTS

5:04 PM |

Wen Zhang, Kwai Lun-Mei

Kwai Lun-Mei starred in OCEAN HEAVEN. The always emotional actress took the chance of the film's official release to muster up her courage and watch it at the movies. Although she has read the script before, her eyes still were swollen from crying. She said, "The film is truly touching!"

Earlier the cast including Jet Li (Lee Nin Kit), Kwai Lun-Mei, Wen Zhang, Zhu Yuanyuan and director Xue Xiaolu worked on a series of promotional stills. Kwai Lun-Mei went to enjoy the film with friends and realized two scenes were cut. "One scene was rather memorable to me. Wen Zhang and I interacted with some gold fishes. Wen Zhang often played with gold fishes. Sometimes I would touch his hand and he would laugh quite shyly. At that time I felt particular close to him."

Although after her pole dance scene was cut Kwai Lun-Mei could not become "gold fish girl", Siu Mei did not mind at all. She felt that the duty of an actress was respecting the film itself. As long as they coordinated with the overall style, how the scenes turned out did not matter.

[2010.07.01] ZHANG JINGCHU STANDS OUT WITH PAINTED SKIN

5:01 PM |

courtesy of takungpao.com

FLIRTING SCHOLAR 2 (TONG BAK FU DIM CHAU HEUNG 2) will be released on July 8. In it Zhang Jingchu stood out with "painted skin" and stole the show from various comedy experts. In the trailer, Zhang Jingchu as Qiuxiang not only had demon eyes but also hung in mid air like a ghost. She even ripped off her face and showed her original form to Lam Tsz Chung to get back at him for harassing her. The film not only added suspense elements but also put a lot of thought into its action. Huang Xiaoming used a variety of brushes to transform into Wolverine in a battle against Louis Fan Siu Wong who studied the Sunflower Treasure Book until his clothes ripped from the transformation. In addition the film also had Richie Jen (Yam Yin Chai)'s "Transformer Golden Vat", Nat Chan Pak Cheung's "manual windmill feet", Shaolin Temple's eighteen bronze men, Hunan bounty hunter Vulture's eagle claw. In particular Huang Xiaoming and Fan Siu Wong's fight was the most fun, like a costume version of X-MEN X PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN!

[2010.07.01] MING DOW AND EDDIE PENG ARE MORE THAN CLOSE?

4:57 PM |

courtesy of takungpao.com

The new Taiwan director Cheng Hsiao-Che written and directed, Ming Dow, Eddie Peng Yuyan, Mainland new comer Fan Xinyu starred MORE THAN CLOSE will open simultaneously on August 13 in Taiwan and the Mainland.

In the film, Fan Xinyu played boxer Ming Dow's loyal fan who not only knew his daily life like the back of her hand but also set off passionate sparks while helping him find his memory as they performed an emotional kiss scenes. About the kiss scene, Ming Dow joked that he obviously was more experienced than Fan Xinyu. As for who was a better fighter between him and Peng Yuyan, Ming Down very directly said, "In the film of course I am more amazing, I can't say in reality." Peng Yuyan in the film played a boxer who kept losing and even had to fight Ming Dow. This was also Pang Yuyan's first big screen display of his eight pack abs. His fit figure would definitely be a feast for his fans' eyes. As for his character, Peng Yuyan said, "Keep on fighting despite of losses should be the courage that young people should have, never give up, never admit defeat. This is what we all need."

Film Reviews - Werewolf

2:34 PM | Labels: Werewolves

Shannon's Definition of Werewolf Film: Films with a werewolf, werewolves in them or where the central focus is around werewolves. Werewolves defined as humans who turn into wolves or werewolves, usually uncontrollable on the full moon, but not exclusively so. Werewolf films are generally horror films and often feature impressive make-up and effects especially in the depiction of the werewolf transformations.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

2:30 PM | Labels: 2010 Releases, The Twilight Saga, Vampire, Werewolves, Wolfathon

Dir: David Slade (30 Days of Night, Hard Candy)
Cast: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Billy Burke, Jackson Rathbone, Ashley Greene, Nikki Reed, Kellen Lutz, Peter Facinelli, Elisabeth Reaser, Bryce Dallas Howard, Xavier Samuel, Dakota Fanning
USA, 2010

Seen: Opening Night June 30, 2010 at Midnight

Reason to see: I'm a huge fan of the Twilight universe, and I loved the film Twilight although was disapointed with New Moon and was hoping Eclipse would get us back into the groove of greatness. And I did the whole The Wolfathon in anticipation for the film.

It's a bit of a strange thing to review The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, as I feel split down the middle between reacting to the film as a critic and a fan. The critic in me is cheering, seeing a very well put together film with solid performance, strong story arc and a very successful book to film translation that keeps the intent of the story, brings intensity of the action as well as the internal conflict all the while managing to made a third entry into the series enjoyable as 'part 3' but also easily understandable to anyone who walks in cold.

For the uninitiated, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is the third film in the vampire romance series based on the best selling books by Stephenie Meyer. I whole hearted loved and will always praise the first film in the series Twilight, directed by Catherine Hardwicke, whom brought the intensity of first love between our protagonist Bella and the vegetarian vampire Edward to the big screen, in a way that celebrated and embraced the spirit of the book on which it was based. A year later we saw the next in the series The Twilight Saga: New Moon, directed by Chris Weitz, which played it safe and was a very literal adaptation of the book which is seeped in loss and reconnection, although I felt at that stage we lost some of the magic. With The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, directed by David Slade, I feel like we got a bit of both: another very literal adaptation of book where the tone of the film fits the darker story of revenge along with the further development of a love triangle, and adds and edginess of danger and the heat of romance that will keep viewers enraptured throughout.

As a fan, I'll admit my first reaction was straight up relief. I was so disappointed with The Twilight Saga: New Moon (which is my favourite of the books), because it lost the spirit of the world. The spirit does come back in Eclipse, mostly with the performances as the actors really have a great sense of their characters and this shows well through their camaraderie, concerns, conflicts and compromises. The fan in me would have loved to see the spirit of the series shown in other ways as well, but with a darker themed film there may have been less opportunity to nods to the Twi-verse amidst the action and love triangle. It does really feel like they enhanced the world on several levels though, working with what worked before and then cranking it up. The action elements have a stronger presence and are more intense, enhanced by using subtly different but very effective effects to bring this horror element out to play.

It also really cranks up the heat of the romance, bringing what we've previously seen as stirring to absolutely sizzling. The screening I went to had more than it's fair share of hoots, hollers and mid-film applause at these moments. This is slightly ironic considering the films very clear 'traditional family values' message, but at least it's something discussed as opposed to just presented or accepted. I could gripe about that, but it's true to the book and the verse so that feels like a mute point. I do have a small bone to pick on the with the slight changes of villain character Victoria, played in this film by Bryce Dallas Howard, where not only is she not in the film very much but she's almost more pouty and manipulative, where previously she's been showcased as very capable and feral. Not that those can't all co-exist, but they are very different choices. This change here does however align to the description of Victoria in the new novella The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, but I very much preferred Rachelle Lefevre's ferocious and confident Victoria from Twilight and New Moon.

What I did love about the film, I whole heartedly loved. The first thing on that list was the sound and the score. Great choices there giving a great atmosphere and creepy tone, especially in the fight sequences. Next up is the performances by Kellan Lutz as the burly vampire Emmett, who has amazing delivery on all of his lines and has been a stand out since the beginning - he's a joy to watch. I also loved Billy Burke as Charlie, who has great awkward father/daughter chemistry with Kristen Stewart as Bella. Actually, Kristen Stewart has been so solid throughout the series that sometimes I forget to give credit where credit is due and it's due here. So, kudos again to Kristen Stewart as she is great as out protagonist Bella. Her along with Robert Pattinson as Edward and Taylor Lautner as Jacob give a really solid foundation for the film and play off each other very well. For performances, I was also impressive is Xavier Samuel (The Loved Ones), who appears as the tormented newborn vampire Riley. Other things I loved about the film include the fun, familial sense of the Wolf Pack, although I would have loved to see more of them. The cinematography is sensational, and I love the implementation of a cooler colour story for the vampires which gives a stark sense of distancing in contrast to the warmer tones used to represent other elements and environments in the film. Absolutely beautiful.

There was lots to love in the film, and I'm thrilled to have enjoyed it as much as I did. It really hits all the right marks with memorable moments, great lines, fantastic chemistry, exciting action and more. The fan in me was hoping for a certain in a je ne sais quoi, like nod to the fans as we've seen in the previous films but I am happy with what we got. I still don't know how they got so much of the book in the film from back stories to action to romance as well as adding some new elements and extending others. It's very impressive how well it flows, all things considered.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse will easily have the widest reach of the series, not only will the fans be happy but it also will have a broader appeal to a larger audience as it truly does have it all: action, drama, mystery, romance, not to mention vampires and werewolves! It's visually stunning with a great soundtrack and the actors all do a great job and even as part of a series it still tells it's own story. It truly has something for everyone as a movie going experience.

[2010.06.30] JAYCEE CHAN MAY CELEBRATE BOX OFFICE SUCCESS WITH A BUNGEE JUMP

8:26 AM |

courtesy of takungpao.com

Jaycee Chan (Fong Cho Ming) and Fiona Sit Hoi Kei yesterday attended the BREAK UP CLUB (FUN SAU SHUET OI NEI) viewer meeting. After 15 days in release (as of June 28) the box office has already reached HK$8.3 million, which they were satisfied with. Cho Ming said that elders called to congratulate him and the box office should reach 10 million. When asked he would celebrate, he said, "13 million will be the best. If it will reach 15 million then I am going bungee jumping." Fiona with her fear of heights said, "14.9 million will be fine. Actually BREAK is a small Hong Kong film, over 10 million I will already be very happy." Were they afraid that working together again would bore the audience? Fiona said, "Actually the last time I worked with Cho Ming was in 2004. We haven't even sung together on stage. Maybe the rumors made everyone feel that we were always working together." Fiona revealed that the director's persecution during the shoot. Because she and Cho Ming could not achieve the couple's feel, the director once considered halting production.

Cho Ming even revealed that the film later will be released in Taiwan and the Mainland. He will go on the promotional tour while Sit Hoi Kei probably will not be able to due to a film production.

Reportedly Taiwan star Dylan Kuo (Kwok Bun Chiu) after secretly meeting Sit Hoi Kei in Hong Kong had a "hickey" on his neck. Sit Hoi Kei laughed, "When I met him, he already had a hickey. That hickey actually was a birth mark that was originally brown. The magazine made it look red. Since it was my first collaboration with me, it was very embarrassing. In his close up shots, this birth mark could be clearly seen."

Was she very close with Kwok Bun Chiu, Cho Ming added, "Of course." Sit Hoi Kei's eyes widened and said, "Let's see if I will help you the next time you have a rumor, in particular rumors in Taiwan." Cho Ming immediately shut up. Sit Hoi Kei also said, "Earlier I went to Taiwan to make a record, I was a stranger in a strange land and didn't have any friend. Luckily he took care of me. This time when he comes to Hong Kong I will do my part as a host, daringly taking him to eat and go out."

Did Cho Ming console Sit Hoi Kei after her privacy at home was exposed? Sit Hoi Kei cut in, "He has never consoled me." Cho Ming said, I am consoling you now! I never console you because you are very strong, very tough, and very stubborn." Cho Ming did not see the photos but

learned about them from friends. "Seeing other's misfortune I feel very fortunate." He also joked, "I may install reflexive windows at my home, or fill it with film posters and cardboard cut outs; but I will be more careful from now on and hire a few snipers to keep an eye out."

Countdown to Eclipse in Pictures Day 8: The Villains

7:56 AM | Labels: Countdown to Eclipse in Pictures, Stills, The Twilight Saga

Countdown to Eclipse in Pictures * concludes with Day 8 as today is the day The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is released, although I'm sure a fair few of us, myself included, saw midnight screenings last night (review will be up later today, but I'm relieved to say it's very enjoyable).

Over the past week we've looked at many images from the series from most used to least used, Cullen couples, Wolf Pack, Bella & Jacob and of course Bella & Edward. But, we always need a good fight too, don't we? So, in the spirit of conflict here are your baddies from the saga!

Twilight Villains: The Nomads

Wow, looking at these pictures make the release of Twilight feel so long ago, even though it was only 20 or so months. Amazing to think at the time of release that Cam Gigandet was the only very well known actor of the bunch - and now they are pretty much all superstars. But, back to the images: I love the nomads, Rachelle Lefevre as Victoria in particular. They have a feral fierceness that is in strong contrast to everything else in the film. They are powerful, dangerous and unpredictable. Love them.

New Moon Villains: The Volturi

From one extreme to the next, Twilight has the feral nomads and in New Moon walk the refined, although brutal, Volturi including Michael Sheen as Aro. Great casting for the Volturi, although I was at the time and still rather suprized at how traditional old school vampire stylings they went with. But... did I mention Michael Sheen?

Eclipse Villains: The Newborns

New film, new conflicts and newborn vampires, and an old feral friends in a new way as the role of Victoria is re-cast with Bryce Dallas Howard.

* Countdown to Eclipse in Pictures was a daily series for 1 week enjoying the images of The Twilight Saga in anticipation of the release of Eclipse. I hope you enjoyed the series!

Toy Story 3 Trumps: Canadian, North American, UK & Australian Box Office June 25, 2010 Weekend

7:09 AM | Labels: 2010 Box Office, Box Office

I know I shouldn't be suprized any more when an animated, family friendly does so much better than everything else at the box office, but sometimes I continue to be. Not so much in this case as Toy Story 3 as it is all of those things as well as being a part of a beloved series, and it does very well in it's second week in Canada, North America & it's first week in Australia (it will be released in the UK in July).

But, I have to admit next weekends box office takings are going to pique my curiosity more than this week as I can't wait to see how The Twilight Saga: Eclipse does. The midnight screening I went to was just as full as when I saw New Moon last November, and this time it was a Tuesday (as opposed to Thursday) night. Only time will tell!
