Apparently six years in the making (according to John Woo’s producing partner Terence Chang, anyway), Woo is set to finally get busy directing again, this time an epic love story set during World War II beginning this May. Or at least, that’s the plan. The as-yet untitled film will be the first of a huge slate of movies from China’s Beijing Galloping Horse Film Company, and will feature a $30 million budget. The movie is described as a “romantic epic follows six characters and their intertwining love stories set against the backdrop of 1940s Taiwan and Shanghai”, and will feature Zhang Ziyi and Korean actress Song Hye-kyo (right) among the cast. The two ladies, by the by, recently co-starred together in Wong Kar-wai’s martial arts film “The Grandmaster”.

In a recent interview, Chinese actress Zhang Zi Yi, currently back in the limelight with the release of her new martial arts epic, The Grandmaster, has confirmed that cameras are finally ready to start rolling on John Woo's much-delayed period romance Love And Let Love. The film, a romantic epic set against the backdrop of the Sino-Japanese War, has been hit by a series of almost farcical obstacles, and cancelled on more than one occasion. A dispute over rights to the script, originally titled 1949, saw the project put on hold indefinitely way back in 2009.

You've already seen it on our list of the 100 Most Anticipated Films Of 2013, and now here's a closer look at Wong Kar-wai's "The Grandmaster," his long-awaited new feature, and his first in six years since 2007's English-language venture, "My Blueberry Nights." These latest images give us another look at the film's lead and frequent Wong collaborator, Tony Leung. He plays Ip Man, the lengendary martial arts master of Wing Chun who mentored folks like Bruce Lee. We also get a closer look at Song Hye-kyo who, according to the fansite who shared these images, apparently didn't take too kindly to the extended production of the movie and won't be attending the world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival, as she's upset her role has been reduced while Zhang Ziyi's was expanded. "The Grandmaster" opens on January 8th in China. Here's hoping a U.S. distribution deal isn't too far behind. »
