| No news beyond what's in the title, really. Alain Delon has confirmed that Johnnie To has asked him to star in an upcoming feature and that he has accepted. No word on title or story or any details at all beyond that it will shoot in Hong Kong. What details there are are here. |
http://www.twitchfilm.net/archives/008828.htmlWow, that is quite a pairing. In the comments people mention that his co-star would be Lau Ching Wan!
I'm still trying to wrap my head around Delon doing a stage version of THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY with Mireille Darc in Paris early this year.
"I am zee last of zee cowboys."
What good news. I've always thought that Lau Ching Wan in To's films reminded me of Delon. Maybe Hong Kong filmmakers can do what Italian filmmakers used to do and make genre films with lots of faded stars from the U.S. and other countries. (And, no, Traci Lords in BLACK MASK 2 and Paul Rudd in GEN-Y COPS don't count. :P)
While he's over there he can check out the factory for his
sportswear line.
