[Suet Seung]

Whoa! Thats not Chow Yun Fat is it? He looks old, I mean isn't he like in his 50s, he looks older.

[eeyore]

I think Chow Yun Fat look like Sean Connery ...

anymore info of this movie? what is the story and when will it be released?

[yearning]

It looks like a fake beard on Chow Yun Fat. I thought Zhang Yi Mou was gonig to take a break from movies to prepare for Olympics 2008? He better considering the bleh job he did for the closing ceremony in Athens 2004--better not embarass us -S

Qin Jun Jie 秦俊杰, Jay Chow 周杰伦, Gong Li 巩俐, Chow Yun Fat 周润发, Liu Ye 刘烨

Cast:
Emperor: 周润发 Chow Yun Fat
Empress: 巩俐 Gong Li
1st Son: 刘烨 Liu Ye
2nd Son: 周杰伦 Zhou Jie Lun (yes, it's Taiwan's pop singer)
3rd Son: 秦俊杰 Qin Jun Jie
Palace Maid: 李曼 Li Man (newcomer)
Release date: Dec 22 2006 (?)

Takes place during the Tang Dynasty so the costumes are pretty impressive...and rather revealing (though it is a showy time period.) The plot is about court intruigue and betrayl, based on Cao Yu's "Thunderstorm". Its budget surpasses that of Chen Kai Ge's Wu Ji/The Promise, so it's sure to have lots of pretty visuals. According to some sites, this movie's gotten decent reviews after preview screenings in China, and now it's apparently in the running to be a potential Oscar contender.

"A week-long Oscar qualification run for Zhang Yimou's third martial-art epic Curse of the Golden Flowers has began secretly yesterday at a movie theater in Beijing. This is for making it qualified for competing for the Best Foreign Langue Film category of next year's Oscar, and Sony Pictures Classics is scheduled to release it in North America in December, which would make it qualified for other categories. According to several Chinese newspapers, Beijingers who have seen the film are almost overwhelmingly praising this US$45 million historical drama. According to some of them, Curse of the Golden Flowers shows lavish designs and beautiful cinematography, and above all, a nicely written story presented by a first class cast at a true epic level. When Zhang Yimou's Hero came out about four years ago, reviews at home were shapely divided. The criticizers of the film said it generally had no story. Then Zhang made House of Flying Daggers, a attempt of telling an story, which turned out disappointed most Chinese viewers. Then Chen Kaige's shot his own epic The Promise, which was basically a junkie mess. Earlier this month, The Banquet, a big budget historical drama by another influential Chinese director Feng Xiaogang, best known for directing comedies about ordinary people, was release and got a mixed review both at home and overseas."

All I'm hoping for is an understandable story...The cast seems promising, and while I was unsure about the choice of Jay, I'm withholding judgments about his addition at this point. I'm eager to see if this'll be the epic that's finally figured out how to put visuals, good acting and a clear plot together.

Does the Emperor whip out twin crossbows and jump sideways while his robe is shot full of holes?

Oops, missed that thread somehow. I searched for Zhang Yimou and the English title but didn't see it. Anyway, maybe a mod can merge these or something.

[strife_au]

They said this series had a pretty weak storyline :/...
And Jay Chou's MV on this didn't look very good .

[c13:4567]

Early feedback from the chinese boards are quite mixed. many were also perplexed/disgusted with the amount of cleavage displayed in the movie

[Surferket]

One of the criteria for choosing actresses to act as the palace maids is that they can't have small "ones".

I would be too... they I'd be disgusted for the mere fact they probably sued lots of hookers fort the movie.
Big boobs dont look good without the right face or body.

[big master]
