Hong Kong’s greatest filmmakers team up for ‘Eight & a Half’ Posted: 25 Feb 2016 12:00 AM PST "Eight & a Half" Chinese Teaser Poster Some of the best filmmakers Hong Kong has to offer – Johnnie To, Tsui Hark, John Woo, Ringo Lam, Anne Hui, Sammo Hung, Yuen Woo-ping and Patrick Tam – are all teaming up for Eight & a Half, an eight-part anthology film about the history of Hong Kong, which will span from the 1940s to present time. There’s no word on whether Eight & a Half will be action, drama or comedy, but with names like Johnnie To (Accident), Tsui Hark (The Taking of Tiger Mountain), John Woo (Hard Boiled), Ringo Lam (City on Fire), Sammo Hung (Wheels on Meals) and Yuen Woo-ping (True Legend) in the mix – I’d say it’ll be a mix of every genre! Ringo Lam (Wild City) had this to say about the project (via Twitch): I have Eight & a Half, and mainly I was attracted to this project because we are going to pay respect to this film world, so I said, “Okay, I will be happy to do work on this one.” And I already finished the pages, I can shoot any time, but I cannot breathe the contents at this moment. *Laughs* But maybe tomorrow, I’ll change again because there’s no budget. Updates: Added the Chinese teaser poster.
