John Woo has finished shooting historical epic 'Red Cliff,' producer says
HONG KONG : Director John Woo has finished shooting the Chinese historical epic "Red Cliff," a massive production that has been beset by casting changes and set problems, and is already editing the raw footage, Woo's producer said Tuesday. The big-budget movie marks Woo's return to Chinese-language film after a stint in Hollywood, where he made hits such as "Broken Arrow," "Face/Off" and "Mission: Impossible 2." "We have finished principal photography, and John is heavy into post-production," producer Terence Chang told The Associated Press in an e-mail, referring to the process of editing the film and creating sound and visual effects. He did not say exactly when Woo finished shooting. Shooting for "Red Cliff," about a well-known battle in feudal-era China, started in April. Chang was quoted as saying by Hollywood trade publication Variety in a report Monday that most of the shooting had finished on Nov. 30,
