As various Chinese media say, "The Crossing" shooting process proceeds even in the 6 degree cold. There are photos from the stage uploaded on the different sites showing that Takeshi Kaneshiro and Masami Nagasawa are in front of the camera only is Summer clothes but the temperature is cold.
As all of the fans most probably know, there is a new movie which is being filmed by John Woo for the 2014. It is called "The Crossing" (太平輪).
It is the first film by John Woo after four years of rest and it is already clamed to me one of the most expected big-budget projects of 2014 (the two-part film is budgeted at $40 million). As you know, such actors will be starring in the movie: Zhang Ziyi, Huang Xiaoming, Tong Dawei, Song Hye-kyo (South Korea), Masami Nagasawa (Japan) and Takeshi Kaneshiro (Taiwan).
The script is written by Hui-Ling Wang who in 2001 was nominated for Academy Award for Best Writing as the script-writer for "the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

According to Alfred Hsing who is an actor, martial Artist and entrepreneur. The movie he saw on the premier was very good.
Here are his words: "The film made some moves at innovation with some CSI style forensics of martial arts techniques so I thought that gave the movie a little something different."
The premiers and presentation of the new Peter Chan's movie "Wu Xia" were held and there are some reports on the news, interviews and photoreports of the events from different sources.
So, lets begin with the fresh ones:
1) The article called "Peter Chan reveals the secret to Takeshi Kaneshiro's success" written by Melissa Tan for the channelnewsasia.com 05 August, 2011.
In short, it says about Takeshi Kaneshiro as one of the biggest stars in Asia who had worked with Peter Chan on "Perhaps Love", "Warlords" and "Wu Xia". It says about Peter Chan's thoughs on why Takeshi Kaneshiro is so popular these days, quoting him: "Kaneshiro is a very special sort of star whom people found naturally appealing, regardless of gender. Women love him while men could identify with him without feeling threatened. Kaneshiro is handsome of course. There are a lot of handsome men around but there are few [like Kaneshiro] who are handsome and yet not annoying to other men. You need to be handsome and give off this introverted 'feeling' so men will let their guard down, plainly put - so men won't think you will snatch their girlfriends". Takeshi Kaneshiro is a rare talent who is so handsome yet you don't feel he is threatening. This could be the result of him being very introverted and very concerned about what people think of him. He gives people the feeling he is insecure and has a certain kind of disarming vulnerability about him". (Source: channelnewsasia.com)

2) Also, there is an interesting article about the events on one of the premiers of the "Wu Xia" (at Taiwan premiere presicely) where thousand of fans greeted him, calling him hubie and in reply they heard him calling fans wivies (this information is known thankfully to crystalized)
