Variety: Studio complex puts China in the picture
Huairou Film Base hopes to lure Westerners

In a recent coup for Huairou, Keanu Reeves signed on to shoot "Man of Tai Chi," a $32 million contemporary chopsocky and tai chi actioner that will film here. The cast includes Tiger Chen and Karen Mok, with Reeves as a bad guy -- and martial arts choreography by Yuen Woo-ping ("The Matrix").

Variety: Film is art to Chinese helmer Lu Chuan

Local auds didn't flock to "City of Life and Death" in expected numbers, partially because Lu made the Japanese general in the war movie a real character.
Now the director wants his vision to appeal to auds in the booming China market as he gets ready to unveil "The Last Supper," a costume drama about two warring generals, toplining mainland-friendly stars Liu Ye, Daniel Wu and Taiwanese thesp Chang Chen.

CF: China's First Banned Film Released after 60 Years
After its premier in 1951, the film was soon caught up in ideological disputes, which saw it pilloried as being pro-capitalist, a severe accusation in an era characterized by its black-and-white politics. However, Mao Zedong's criticism of the film, in which he labeled it as carrying a message detrimental to the principles of socialism, was perhaps the main reason behind the banning of the film.
