China ready for world domination "Red Cliff" press junket showed eight and a half minutes of new footage¡²Source:VarietyAsia¡³ Written by Patrick Frater Monday, 19 May 2008 China is able and willing to take on the world's most ambitious movie productions. That was the message to emerge from the "Red Cliff" press junket Monday at the Carlton, where John Woo showed eight and a half minutes of new footage. "People in China have the ability to make Gladiator or Troy," said Woo, who at one stage referred to his historic Chinese epic as a "Chinese Gladiator." "(Chinese crews) are very talented, but had never had the chance to work on a big movie like this or work on effects scenes," said Woo. He said that Chinese authorities are keen for country's film-makers to learn skills from Hollywood, not its politics. "I felt very free working in China. The Chinese government was very helpful. It wants us to make better movies." Woo said that finished pic, which releases in two parts in Asia and as a single two hour story in other territories, will combine astonishing battle scenes and a very human story. "It is my dream come true to make this film. I wanted to make the biggest ever action sequences," Woo said. One battle scene involves 800,000 people, while another naval battle used 19 real boats that were expanded through CGI to over appear as over 1,000. www.varietyasiaonline.com/content/view/6145/1/

Woo: "J'adore me lancer des d¨¦fis" ¡²Source:19/5/08 lejdd.fr¡³
John Woo a d¨¦voil¨¦ aujourd'hui lors d'une conf¨¦rence de presse ¨¤ Cannes les premi¨¨res images de son nouveau long m¨¦trage, Red Cliff, une ¨¦pop¨¦e historique qui marque son retour en Chine apr¨¨s une parenth¨¨se hollywoodienne. Quelques images d'une dizaine de minutes all¨¦chantes - des d¨¦cors et des costumes somptueux, des milliers de figurants, sans oublier des combats au sabre virtuoses - ont ¨¦t¨¦ projet¨¦ pour ce film dont la sortie est pr¨¦vue en 2009. "Je veux faire ce film depuis dix-huit ans. Je me suis bien amus¨¦ aux Etats-Unis et j'avais envie de revenir travailler en Chine avec une superproduction de type Gladiator ou Troie qui apprenne aux spectateurs un des ¨¦pisodes guerriers les plus c¨¦l¨¨bres de son histoire, survenu il y a pr¨¨s de 2 000 ans", a d¨¦clar¨¦ le r¨¦alisateur. "Le sc¨¦nario, qui s'inspire de faits r¨¦els, lance un message d'amour et de paix, parle de fraternit¨¦, d'amiti¨¦, d'honneur, d'humanit¨¦. J'adore me lancer des d¨¦fis, aller vers quelque chose de nouveau."

Culture 19/05/2008 - 16:17 Woo: ¡°I adore to launch out challenges¡±
John Woo revealed today at the time of a press conference in Cannes the first images of his new feature-length film, Red Cliff, a historical epopee which marks its return in China after a Hollywood bracket. Some images of ten enticing minutes - sumptuous decorations and costumes, thousands of observers, without forgetting engagements with the sabre virtuosos - were projected for this film whose exit is envisaged in 2009. ¡°I have wanted to make this film for eighteen years. I had fun in the United States and I wanted to return to work in China with a spectacular of the type Gladiator or Troy which learns to the spectators one the warlike episodes most famous of its history, occurred there is nearly 2.000 years¡±, declared the realizer. ¡°The scenario, which takes as a starting point actual facts, launches a message of love and peace, speaks about fraternity, friendship, honor, humanity. I adore to launch out challenges, to go towards something again.¡±
