CRIENGLISH have reported that John Woo’s upcoming historical drama "The Battle of Red Cliff " will not start filming until 2007, according to producer Terence Chang, with the aim of releasing it just before the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008.
The film is now on its eighth script draft, with “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” writer Wang Hui-Ling having recently joined the team. So far, the only confirmed casting is that of Chow Yun-Fat, though Liu Ye, recently in “Jasmine Women” is apparently in talks to join the film after producers were impressed not only with his acting skills, but with his height (1.86 meters).
A few details have emerged regarding the film’s planned battle sequences, which are said to include “the burning of 2,000 boats with horses jumping around on them” and another sequence involving “a booby-trapped battleship”.
With his name still attached to a number of other projetcs, including an adaptation of the “Spyhunter” videogame franchise, it is unclear whether “Red Cliff” will be Woo’s next film proper, though whatever happens, it seems fans will have a while to wait before his trademark slo-mo blood and heroism hit the big screen again.
Edit:
LOL, after reading Angels topic, I realized that I made one before and found it…so merged ;D ;D
Funny thing is, that I called my topic War of …instead of Battle of… (I just changed the topic of my old one to the name Angels made)
