No Red Cliff for Chow Yun-Fat Source: MonkeyPeaches.com, Sina.com April 16, 2007 Monkey Peaches reports that Chow Yun-Fat has dropped out of director John Woo's The Battle of Red Cliff, to which Ken Watanabe and Taiwanese supermodel Lin Chi-Ling are still attached. According to a statement Chow Yun-Fat sent to Sina.com, Chow resigned from John Woo's The Battle of Red Cliff last Friday not because of some unrealistic demands from him. Chow received the screenplay just one week before and the production had already begun. This gave him very little time to prepare for his role as he had to deliver his lines in Mandarin. Chow said he had agreed to take a pay cut for playing his role. Based on the classic Chinese novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," the film is set in the final days of the Han Dynasty in the year 208 and covers the war that established the Three Kingdoms period, when China had three rulers. source: http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=19914

Article: April 14, 2007 Source: http://ent.sina.com.cn/m/c/2007-04-14/15191519276.html At the film opening ceremony, only one main character showed up with 13 others who are not very well known. The first scene was about Cao Cao and he was all wrapped up except his head gear. 50 extras were given guidelines as to how to bow and greet officials. John Woo said that it has been his dream for the last 16 years to make this movie. It was rumored before that the role of Cao Cao was a breaktrhough and Cao Cao for once is not sly but a just minded hero with a world view. Zhang Jia Zhun denied this rumor and said that no matter which country the cast come from, John Woo would make them multi dimensional and not just on Cao Cao. "As to whether Cao Cao is a breakthrough, actually there is not a simple good or bad judgement. This is like most of John Woo's previous movies, the characters are not one dimensional. There bound to be overlap of good and bad in the character. Besides it is a p...

For the Battle of Red Cliff, Chow Yun Fat doesn't need to be on the set till 2 weeks later. Takeshi who has been practicing horse riding and archery for The Warlord doesn't need further training and besides, his role doesn't require as much action scenes and so he is more at leisure. Chang Chen has admitted that he would take part in this movie and has started horseriding and archery lessons. Lin Zhi Ling is already in Beijing training too.

Too busy for Red Cliff It wasn't for love or money. Tony Leung Chiu Wai pulled out of director John Woo’s Chinese epic Red Cliff not because he had problems with the pay or that he wanted to spend more time with girlfriend Carina Lau. Tony Leung at the Asian Film Awards in Hong Kong recently. He just felt he had no time to prepare for the role of master strategist Zhuge Liang, Leung said at the Asian Film Awards recently. He had wrapped up spy thriller Lust, Caution and crime drama Confession of Pain back to back, when he found that with Red Cliff being split into two instalments, he would have more lines to learn – in Mandarin. Does he think his last-minute replacement, Takeshi Kaneshiro, will have time to do his homework for the shoot that starts in Beijing late this month? “I believe Takeshi Kaneshiro’s Mandarin is better than mine. In this aspect, it is easier for him,” Leung said of the Taiwan-born actor. Red Cliff, also starring Chow Yun Fatt and Chiling Lin, will be released...

Pop Stop Compiled by Ho Yi STAFF REPORTER Friday, March 23, 2007, Page 14 Pop Stop would be negligent of its duty if it failed to report on the latest twists and turns of gossip rag fodder Terry Gou's latest affair(s) of the heart and wallet. Recently admitting to gossip hounds that his feelings for Carina Lau are genuine and serious, one of Taiwan's most minted men nevertheless shared the love by flying Lin Chi-ling in his private jet to host grand parties at his IT empire's redoubts. The tycoon's courtship game with Lin was made official at his company's evening party in Shanxi Province, China, last Friday when the national sweetheart-turned-private hostess played the role of a fan-holding fortune-teller offering her divination on Gou's future love. "There is no need to forecast my love life since I am the one who is in control not fate, and I'm not interested in the fan but the person who is holding it," said subtle-as-a-sledgehammer Gou. Lin la...

HONG KONG: Financial backing for director John Woo's new Chinese epic has not been affected by the pullout of Cannes best actor winner Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Woo's business partner said Thursday.

But producer Terence Chang said Leung has been replaced by another prominent actor, Taiwanese-Japanese heartthrob Takeshi Kaneshiro, and that the movie's investors are not rattled by the casting change. "All buyers welcome that decision," Chang said in an e-mail to The Associated Press...
