TimeOutHK: Juno Mak Interview
Rigor Mortis, the first Hong Kong gong zi – that is, Chinese vampire – film in over 20 years, is about redemption. Its protagonist is an ageing, past-his-prime, down-on-his-luck actor (Chin Siu-ho, playing an exaggerated version of himself), and the film itself is an attempt to bring gong zi and all their hopping, creepy glory back to the forefront of local pop culture lore, where they once belonged.

CF: Bond Girl Maria Grazia Cucinotta to Cooperate with Chinese Actor Huang Bo
Maria Grazia Cucinotta, the Italian Bond Girl from "007: The World is not Enough," recently turned up for the launch ceremony of her new romance comedy "All about Marriage" on October 24 in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province, in Southwest China.

Fantasy romance film, "Painted Skin 2" has finished filming scenes in Beijing, Hebei and Inner Mongolia. The location of filming has now switched to Tibet, where the creators and cast members will work intensively for a 20-day period.

Directed by Wong Jing, and starring Gigi Leung, Chapman To, Ronald Cheng and Xie Na, the film tells the tale of the events following an encounter between a "leftover" lady, unmarried in her thirties, and a comical billionaire.

Award-winning actor Zhang Hanyu aims to inject charisma into the role of the most skilled army counselor of the late Qin dynasty in his latest project, costume blockbuster "White Vengenace".

The film tells the tale of men and women living in a busy city, who pursue love. Their pursuits lead to several soul-stirring accidents, as they attempt to secure true love. The plot follows three separate stories of three couples, with Cecilia Cheung and Kwon Sang-woo playing one of the couples.

ChinaPost: Jump Ashin! review
A story about loss, redemption and coming-of-age, “Jump Ashin!” split its soul into so many pieces for maximum commercial appeal that it eventually reminds us of Harry Potter's Voldemort, whose soul degenerated because he split it into seven pieces to bid for power and immortality.


Keep your hands at your sides, San Franciscans; unfortunately the film's debut in our city will only be offered in standard 2D. (Thanks, Dave!)

Apparently when the photos originally circulated on the internet netizens thought that they were real personal  photos of Francis Ng and an unknown girl. A statement had to be issued to confirm that they were publicity photos for Midnight Beating. The phrase, hoisted by their own petard, comes to mind. (Sina) (Thanks, V)
