    John Woo battle-ready for the"War of Red Cliff"
    2004-08-10 10:58:24 Xinhua English

    BEIJING, Aug. 10(Xinhuanet)-- World-renowned Hong Kong director John Woo has decided to move the battlefield of the "War of Red Cliff" to the big screen, with a cost of 300 million yuan, or over US$36 million.

    He has long dreamed of shooting the film which took place during the Three Kingdoms period more than 1700 years ago, and he finally found a cooperating media last week. CRIENGLISH.com reported Tuesday.

    The epic movie will formally start shooting next year.

    Celebrated Hong Kong film star Chow Yun-fat will play the leading role as the King of Shu, Liu Bei, and many shining stars from Japan and South Korea will also be included in the line-up.

    I'm looking forward to this movie already. Any idea about who's going to play Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang yet?

    Assuming that the film focuses just on Chibi like the title seems to indicate, Diao Chan will not be covered, since the part with her and Lu Bu happened earlier. Xiao Qiao will probably be in it since she's Zhou Yu's wife and he played a significant role at Chibi.

    I want to see the veteran Huang Gai fights on boat and then swimming with all his battle gear on!

    I want to see the look on Wu's officers when they attempt to stop Kongming from going back to Liu Bei but instead they were stopped by the angry face of Zilong.

    Just hope that storyline won't be warped like the Taiwanese version with Adam and Michelle, where Zhuge Liang and Xiao Qiao have an affair

    Everything else would just be alright!!!
