There's a 9 minute promo of John Woo's "Red Cliff" on the internet. It's like, the big movie coming out of China this year designed as a two-parter spanning four hours. The first part is coming out this summer in time for the Beijing Olympics, as planned by the producers (and possibly by state-sanction itself, knowing China).

It's also based on a battle from the Three Kingdoms period of China. As such, being a Dynasty Warriors fan, I'm stoked.

Lots of big names, too . . . Tony Leung, Takeshi Kaneshiro (they were both in "House of Flying Daggers") . . . Zhao Wei (the "ugly girl" in Shaolin Soccer) . . . directed by John Woo, no less . . .

. . . y'know what, you guys just watch it for yourselves. It's in stupid Mandarin, but y'know:

So yeah. I'm excited.
