China has launched a crackdown on the piracy of domestic films especially made to mark the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, including all-star epic "Jian Guo Da Ye" and spy thriller "Feng Sheng".
Any pirated copies of these films, once caught, will be confiscated, while production and marketing dens will be destroyed, according to a notice by the national work team on pornographic and illegal publications issued Monday on its website.
The audio-video products of "Jian Guo Da Ye", or "The Founding of A Republic", and "Feng Sheng", or "The message", are supposed to appear on market respectively on Oct. 16 and Nov. 13.

Gasp... did he inhale?
China cracks down on piracy of anniversary films
More gasping... the pirated copies will actually be confiscated and destroyed? I'm outraged at such harsh punishment!
Finally, I don't think that is Osamu Tezuka standing with Aaron Kwok and Gouw Ian Iskander. Tezuka passed away 20 years ago. Maybe it's his son?
don't think that is Osamu Tezuka
Ha, ha. Thanks for pointing that out. I thought he looked pretty good for being 80!
re: Ang Lee
I _think_ I also read that the interviewer asked him if he liked men, i.e. gay? (He said no.)
Is that indeed Tezuka's son? I was just guessing.
Re: Ang Lee liking men
"... well, there was that one time when I smoked pot with my college roommate..." ;p

Yes, I think that's what it says, the teacher's son.
