Zhang ZiYi will play ANOTHER Hua Mulan-like character (due late 2007)

The Weinstein Co. will remake Akira Kurosawa's classic The Seven Samurai (target release date mid 2008). The action drama tells the story of a Japanese village that hires seven individuals to protect them against marauding bandits. Ziyi Zhang is in talks to take the role of the peasant girl who dresses in men’s clothes. The rest of the cast will boast of major Pan-Asian talents.

No!! WHY?!? Geeze, leave well enough alone already. That's already a classic.

Oh, I saw POTC 2 on Sunday. I really enjoyed it. There were some elements to the movie that were kind of exaggerated and overdone but overall it's good. I didn't even notice that it was 2 1/2 hours. It seemed like it flew by. Yea, I hated Kiera Knightley's character by the end of the movie. I wanted to strangle her. Just forewarning you. :hehe:

I heard Zhang is doing a movie version of SOS where she plays both Takky and Kyoko's role....so she loves her brother and really loves herself at the same time...it makes for great confusing incest like hermaphrodite dorama

Remaking The Seven Samurai seems like a pretty daft idea. But putting a big star in a tiny role like that village girl can only mean they are rewriting the story. This will not go well.

it never does....the only quirky Kurosawa remake that I liked was the anime Samurai 7 :P

although I never saw the Western, the Magnificent Seven, which was a remake of the same.

I wish Mifune Toshiro would just rise up from the dead and beat the crap out of all their asses. NOW.

maybe we should get BALDY AYA to shave some heads and put the hurt on their thick domes.

....The Seven Samurai... uh... Monks plus 1 bald peasant girl.

sounds like a plan :hehe:

I am just waiting for Zhang ZiYi to star as Wong Fu one of these days....she will arrive as a star in the American Movie market only when they hire her to promote Panda Express and the 3 item special with Chow Mein or Fried Rice.

:rofl: :lol: :dielaughing:

Seriously. She needs to find better role. I loved her in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, but now it's like a big joke. :puppydog:

If you ever need an actress for ANY asian role, Zhang Ziyi is your girl.

You forgot Lucy Liu and Michelle Yeoh. :sweat:

I'm waiting for the remake of Fist of Fury staring Zhang Ziyi as Bruce Lee. :beaten:
