| Jiang Wen’s ‘Gone with the Bullets’ based on a true story? Posted: 21 May 2014 02:59 AM PDT  "Gone with the Bullets" Chinese Teaser Poster THE MOVIE: Actor/writer/director Jiang Wen is prepping a ‘spiritual sequel’ to his breakout 2010 hit, Let the Bullets Fly. The next film, titled Gone With the Bullets, is the second installment of a proposed trilogy. This time around the story will be set in a large town in Eastern China during the Warlord period of the 1920′s. Zhou Xun, Zhou Yun, Shu Qi and Wen Zhang will be appearing in the sequel. Updates: Let the Bullets Fly was recently released on Blu-ray and DVD in North America by Well Go USA. The film proved to be a massive success in its home country, breaking box office records to become the highest grossing Chinese film of all time – at least until Zhang Yimou’s Flowers of War came along. Due to the first film’s popularity, Gone With the Bullets will have a considerably larger budget than its $20 million predecessor. Variety reports that Columbia is co-producing Gone with the Bullets, which is currently being shot in 3D. The film will be released in December of 2014. Sony has secured international rights. | The film has a Chinese release date for December 18th! BREAKING NEWS: THR has an interview with Jiang Wen, where he states that the upcoming movie is based on a true story: “Where it differs from Let the Bullets Fly is that Gone With the Bullets is based on a true story. In the last century, in the 1920s, Shanghai hosted a beauty contest, but the winner of the contest died by accident. These two things together shocked the whole of Shanghai.” |

| ‘Hwayi: A Monster Boy’ is getting a ‘quality’ U.S. remake Posted: 20 May 2014 02:40 AM PDT  "Hwayi: A Monster Boy" Korean Theatrical Poster According to THR, 2013′s Hwayi: A Monster Boy is getting an English-language, U.S. remake. The original South Korean film, directed by Jang Joon-Hwan (Save the Green Planet), is about a 16-year-old boy of the same name who is raised by five criminal fathers to become the perfect assassin. It starred Yeo Jin-goo (Sad Movie) and Kim Yun-Seok (The Chaser, The Thieves). Creators of the original will be collaborating with the U.S. crew to avoid another Old Boy remake fiasco: “We have decided to take part in the production as a collaborator in order to ensure the quality of the remake, rather than simply handing over the storyline,” said Lee Jun-dong, head of the original movie’s production company Now Film.
