| 2046
(released 2004)
Directed by Wong Kar Wai
Starring: Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Maggie Cheung, Zhang Ziyi, Faye Wong,
Carina Lau, Chang Chen, Su Li-zhen, Kimura Takuya
Scheduled to be released at Christmas time, 2046
is Wong's visionary take on Hong Kong's future in a sort of Blade
Runner-ish style. The production has been going on for seemingly
ages, but we hope that 2046 will not follow Wong's Ashes of Time,
which took two years to film.
The all-star cast in 2046 makes it certainly interesting,
but whether Wong can persuade the local people to watch his films
- we will see by Christmas. It may give Tony Leung another sure-fire
chance to grab a Best Actor award. |
