Zhang Jingchu - The Old Cinderella [Roast Pork Sliced From A Rusty Cleaver] (飲水思源)

"The Old Cinderella" (aka "Love in Jerusalem") will be directed by newcomer Wu Bai (no, not the rocker from Taiwan). Originally announced as Zhang Jingchu's directorial debut, the actress has had to step away to her disappointment. Under questioning from the media, Zhang said that the reason was that the start of production was delayed from February to March and she had not considered the post-production schedule. So as to not delay progress she gave up her role and producer Lu Chuan brought in newcomer Wu Bai. Zhang Jingchu said that she would not give up and hoped to direct some day in the future.

An October release is planned

Tang Wei - Sleepless in Vancouver (?) [Roast Pork Sliced From A Rusty Cleaver] (飲水思源)

TimeOutHK: Tang Wei interview
“The truth is that we filmed it in Vancouver, as well as small bits in Beijing and New York, but never really in Seattle,” clarifies Tang on her new film’s shooting locations. “That’s why I had the memory of the place but not a feeling of repetition. There’s still a chance that I may go back there in the future because Seattle is such a beautiful city – it reminds me of my birthplace of Hangzhou, which is similarly prone to drizzle.”
