0 comments
Newly released stills shows off Nick Cheung's hard body gained from training for Nightfall costarring Simon Yam and directed by Roy Chow Hin-Yeung. Nick plays a prisoner seeking revenge on Simon Yam, a detective. To get in  shape, Nick gave up fatty and oily foods, starches and carbohydrates. For breakfast, he ate bananas mixed with milk and oatmeal and only chicken and vegetables for dinner. As the diet became boring, Nick started eating sashimi at a sushi restaurant across the street from the gym disregarding fears of radiation contamination from the Japanese fish. He trained 6 days a week, 3-4 hours each day, running, lifting weights and boxing.

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.

Yang Mi is red hot and has plenty to be happy about

Butterfly Cemetery is based on an adaption of a story by suspense novelist Cai Jun (Deserted Inn, Curse of the Deserted)
