Nirdu is The House

I just found out that a movie is in the works based on the Battle of Chi Bi that happened during the Three Kingdoms era of China. I always figured that the era was too big to be overlooked by moviemakers for so long. Luckily it's being made by a Hong Kong team and it's going to be directed by John Woo! This truly has me excited, and I didn't believe it when I first read about it. Seems to be real though, even has an IMDB entry. But then again so does the Boondock Saints fake sequel.
I've heard Woo wants Chow Yun Fat to play Liu Bei and Jet Li to play Zhou Yu. And like every movie made in China in the past 7ish years, Zhang Ziyi will be in it of course. Who will be Cao Cao? What actor is evil enough? I know John Woo will make this movie great, Hero or Crouching Tiger level.
Of course this movie will come out in 2007 at the earliest, 2008 more likely. It'll be worth the wait for what I expect to be a true masterpiece. Embrace Asian films America, or just keep on watching the Diary of a Mad Black Woman and the Pacifier you sheep.
