Maggie Cheung promoting Hong Kong cinema in London
Maggie Cheung said, "Either they are ones that love Wong Kar-wai and are just in that world or the ones go for Jackie Chan, you know. And I think they're both as strong as each other actually, coming from, I've done both and I think it's part of it. I just can't think of Hong Kong cinema without one or the other, the action and the more mellow dramas or the more personal films."

Lu Chuan's The Last Supper (aka King's Feast) may be in serious trouble as major investor, Stellar Media, has reportedly pulled out. The reason is unclear but a number of reasons have been suggested: Stellar is focusing on another project, Peter Chan's Guillotines, which has incurred additions expenses due to the shuffle of directors (Teddy Chen for Andrew Lau); Stellar was unhappy with the choice of one of the key roles, He Du Jean as the concubine; the film has also been in conflict/competition with a similar film, Daniel Lee's White Vengeance. Lu Chuan and Stellar chief, Qin Hong, have engaged in a war of words via Weibo. (Sina), 2
