Monday May 21, 2007 France The official poster for movie "Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon," featuring leading actors Andy Lau (right) and Maggie Q (left). A mini press conference was held in Cannes on Sunday for another Chinese movie about the Three Kingdoms period set in 220-265 A.D.,titled with "Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon." China's portal website Sina.com reports that an official poster and three stills were released featuring lead actors Andy Lau, Maggie Q and Sammo Hung. A one-minute trailer was also played at the press conference. The movie began shooting in northwestern China's Gansu province this April. Seen from the trailer, most of the scenes are battles in Dunhuang, Gansu province. With a budget approaching 25 million US dollars, the project is based on "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", a vast 600-year-old novel by Luo Guangzhong that ranks as one of China's four most important pieces of literature. The novel also provides source material for John Woo's upcoming movie "Battle of Red Cliff." credits: crienglish, asianfanatics.
Shit 三國 stuff, and Andy Lau is in it =D Must watch, Maggie Q,,, Ok La, lol this sounds like a awesome movie, =P
Looks good, andy lau is a good actor and will def. get the ratings in, not sure about maggie Q - she's the only thing putting me off this film!
Maggie Q would make this bad...she ain't even part chinese and she's playing a ancient chinese warrior WTF....i think this is gonna be wayyy over the top. But imma still watch it just like any mindless action flicks muhahahha...
Hmm, i want to find this movie, i want to see it... looks cool. I love movies involving with fighting.
yeah, i kindda agree with u that she's portraying a chinese warrior and she doesn't even have any chinese blood, but she's in so many movies now, so I guess that's a good thing....
just finish watching this movie. its not that good to be honest, and red cliff got Takeshi Kaneshiro a fucking part japanese playing 諸葛亮 why do they have to put these none 100% chinese into historical movies?gah
lol dude the difference is that mandarin is actually takeshi's first language and he's actually half chinese...maggie q ain't even part chinese and she don't speak the language...also Takeshi is like an A-list actor, not just money making wise but he's a really good actor, unlike maggie q who is always typed cast no matter what...obviously she's always the asian chick in the movies, with some kung fu skills and speaking cantonese (which she can't even really speak anyways)... why don't she speak viet now since that is pretty much her language, guess viet is just not as popular as chinese for an asian language in movies.
i am talking about 金成武 takeshi he is part taiwanese/japanese. why do they have to put some half breed jap in a movie like this? sure he is good actor but there are alot of better ones
