4) Films reviews (Red Cliff) and John Woo’s Red Cliff article;
5) Plus EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: John Woo Visits Red Cliff;
The concerns of the fans about Onimusha release: The strangest thing is the fact that there is nothing heard of the movie so far – only some rumors on the making. Besides, there should be at least something – like trailer, or movie posters…and some were even in fear that Hadida invite someone but Takeshi Kaneshiro for the role of Samanosuke Akechi (TK was a voice of the character in the game and also was a model for the character), none the less Christopher Gans (the movie director) sees Takeshi in this role. The AMP‘s author Caroline writes about some possible reasons why there is a delay of the film release (which is to be in theatres in December 2009):
- Heath Ledger (who should have been performing a role of Roberto, a Spaniard character from the Dawn of Dreams (Onimusha 6th series) - his sudden death and no proper candidature to shift the actor;
- According to Wikipedia information on Onimusha film, H. Ledger’s death led to the postpone of the project and caused the Japanese actors to take roles and to work on other films;
- Anyways - the film (according to the wikipedia) is rescheduled on 2011.
So, we wait and see – what else can fans do? ;)
According to a Timeforadramabreak.wordpress.com/Takeshi Kaneshiro clinch Handsomest Taiwanese article, some Taiwanese web-site had held an opinion poll on the most handsome man in the country. The respondents were the users of the site only but the result is remarkable for us because among the 36 celebrities listed for the poll, Takeshi Kaneshiro has taken the first place in the minds of the respondents having received the 11 753 votes. He had bitten Jerry Yan who received 10 032 votes. The poll listed such famous celebs as Ming Dow (Matthew - 4145), Show Luo (3427), Wu Chun (2592), Wang Leehom, Jay Chou, Godfrey Kao, Yang Yizhan and etc. the vote was held for 6 days. (the information was ready at the end of October).

On his page at imdb there's a mention of 'Onimusha', but details can be seen only on imdb.pro. Anyway, it's indeed a film many are looking forward to. It would be a pity if it doesn't happen... Let's hope it will.
About Cinemahochi nominations. Well, I start thinking it's strange. Look, "K-20" is after Best picture award, "Red Cliff" is also after several awards at least, and guess who starred in them both? But no, judging by the nominations, TK had nothing to do with them, he just happened to be around on the movie set... What has happened to common sense and plain conscience of the people who make nominations? Unfair, that's what I call it.
as much as the next person.
