Mysterious Island - Nothing to Fear but Fear Itself
There's a paradox about Chinese horror films. A genre subject to rigorous censorship pertaining to the supernatural, what's released is rarely good and no big director ever picks the genre. At the same time, what does succeed are often shoestring affairs, meaning great returns on little investment.
At a Mei Ah press conference in Beijing, it was announced that Yang Mi would be featured in four upcoming projects: Chinese Princess Turandot, Windseeker, Butterfly Cemetery and Great Wudang. Mei Ah will invest $300M in the four films.Windseeker is an espionage thriller about a blind man with extraordinary hearing. It will be directed and written by Alan Mak and Felix Chong, respectively, and star Tony Leung Chiu-Wai. Windseeker and Great Wudang will begin shooting in October for release next year.

Looking at the picture--the only one of Ada Wong I have seen--she might want to stick with what she does best--being the daughter of a wealthy and powerful movie mogul.

ReplyDeleteSomehow this headline sounded racier than the actual story.
