According to this project’s Chinese partner Poly Huayi Media, shooting will be done entirely in the mainland China and possible locations include Beijing, Dali region of Hubei Province, Red Cliff of Hubei Province and Hengdian World Studios of Zhejiang Province.
Yuen Wo-Ping has basically agreed to take the responsibility of action director.
That’s basically agreed to take on the responsibility. Basically.
Other people who have basically agreed to get involved include Ken Watanabe, Leung Chiu-Wai, Colin Chou, Zhang Jingchu and Lin Chiling (pictured left).
Basically, I’ll believe it when I see it.

this movie sounds sweet
I have a suggestion to Director John Woo. Is it possible to add a song to this film, using Cao Cao’s famous poem “Duan Ge Xing” as its lyrlic? As for the music, it may be called for an open competition or commissioned a well known musician like Tan Dun to do the job. It happened before in the Peking Opera.
Wow,this show sounds great…But…can’t John Woo NOT let Chow Yun Fat play the role of Zhou Yu?He’s old~neeeeaaargh…xP
