Jiang Wen and Gong Li to Reunite for BULLETS Sequel
Screen Daily is reporting that Mainland Chinese actor Jiang Wen is set to direct and star in Gone With The Bullets, a spiritual sequel to his 2010 smash hit Let The Bullets Fly and that Gong Li is likely to co-star. Marco Ma, who co-owns Beijing-based Buyilehu Films with Jiang, has said the film will again take place in the turbulent 1920s Warlord period, but will be situated in a large city in East China, rather than the South West small town setting of the first film.
Gone With The Bullets will hopefully prove to be the central chapter of a planned Bullets trilogy, in a bid to recapture the enormous success of Let The Bullets Fly, which broke box office records in China to become the country's most successful film of all time (a title later usurped by Zhang Yimou's The Flowers Of War). Ma states that Buyilehu will likely again work with Hong Kong-based Emperor Motion Pictures to produce and distribute the film, which will have a budget considerably higher than its predecessor's, which was somewhere around $20 million.
In addition to reuniting Jiang with his Red Sorghum co-star Li, Gone With The Bullets is also likely to see Ge You return for a second time (although presumably playing a different role), with the production also seeking the services of a prominent US actor to take a role in the film, although Ma was keeping tight-lipped over who has been approached. The script is being written by Jiang and Bullets co-scribe Guo Junli - which is great news - and shooting hopes to start in the Autumn looking towards a late 2013 release date.
Trailer For 'The Thieves'
The full trailer has been released for 'The Thieves' (AKA 'The Professionals'), a new South Korean crime caper from director Choi Dong-hoon ('Woo Chi'). The film revolves around a group of infamous Korean thieves who join forces with their Chinese counterparts to steal a 418-carat diamond.
Synopsis
In order to let things cool down from their latest heist, Popeye and his group of thieves go to Macao on a job. But the mastermind behind this job is none other than Popeye’s old partner Macao Park, who escaped with 68kg of gold several years ago on their last job together. Macao Park brought Chinese thieves as well but little did they know what Macao Park planned for each one of them. But his plan takes an unexpected turn when Popeye brings Pepsi, an old flame of Macao Park, to settle the old score. The thieves’ target is a $20 million diamond known as ‘Tear of the Sun’, kept safely away in a casino, brought there to be sold by a notorious Chinese fence. While working together to steal this fabled diamond, they all have their own agenda to keep the diamond for themselves. But who will succeed and live to see another day?
'The Thieves' stars Kim Hye-soo, Kim Yoon-suk, Lee Jung-jae, Jun Ji-hyun, Oh Dal-soo, Simon Yam, Angelica Lee, Derek Tsang, Zhang Jing-Chu, and Lee Jung-Jae. The film is due for release across South Korea in July, 2012.

Full Trailer For Gordon Chan's Hong Kong Action-Horror THE FOUR
Fist Of Legend director Gordon Chan will soon be bringing a cast of Colin Chou, Anthony Wong, Crystal Liu, Deng Chao and Ronald Cheng to the big screen with The Four - a fresh adaptation of popular story The Four Constables.
An undercover agent is assigned by his corrupt chief to infiltrate a rival department and sabotage their investigation of counterfeit currency. What he discovers is the counterfeiter's real plan. To overthrow the capital. Not by flooding it with funny money, but with an army of undead.
Fusing elements of action and horror together, it looks like Chan is aiming to take a trip back to Hong Kong's glory years and the days when these sorts of hybrid films - think The Bride With White Hair - were a regular event.
A first teaser showed up a while back and has now been followed by a full trailer.

Ben Walker is Climbing Ed Zwick’s Great Wall
Abraham Lincoln is taking a little break from all that vampire slaying (it’s mighty tiring work, or so I’m told) to take a stroll along China’s monstrous Great Wall alongside Superman himself, Henry Cavill. That would be Ben Walker, who is now “in talks” to co-star with the new Superman in Ed Zwick’s intriguing sounding “The Great Wall”.
Obviously when you hear Ed Zwick, the man who directed “The Last Samurai” and “Glory”, you’re hoping “The Great Wall” is not some boring documentary-type film about the building of China’s huge fence. And you’d be right, because it’s actually described as a “supernatural story.”
In the film, Walker and Cavill would play 15th century British soldiers who “discover that the Great Wall wasn’t built to keep out the Mongols, but rather dangerous creatures.” So basically Walker is once again slaying creatures of the night, from the sounds of it. Hope he still has his top hat and ax!
I remember when Walker was being pursued by Fox to play Hank McCoy aka Beast in Matthew Vaughn’s “X-Men: First Class”. Instead, he ended up starring in Fox’s “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter”, which is just such an odd choice for a guy who had been tearing it up on Broadway.
“The Great Wall”, though, would seem to indicate that Walker is very much interested in this whole movie star deal. It’s a nice gig if you can get’em.
