Crienglish is reporting that Maggie Cheung is going to have a small part in Quentin Tarantino's upcoming remake/retool of the war film, Inglorious Bastards.
I suppose, as a fan, I'm kind of disappointed in her choice but sure that she'll make it into something interesting.
After Tarantino's completely empty set of martial arts, yakuza, and samurai references in Kill Bill 1, I'm not sure why an Asian actress of Maggie's stature would want to help QT pillage another genre.
(That said, I did enjoy Kill Bill 1 a lot when it was first released all the while realizing that it was like a "greatest hits" reel of other, better films.)
Maggie was in attendance at a recent Dior exhibition, along with a ton of other celebs.
And the new Shu Qi film, from director Feng Xiaogang is set and ready to go. The article mentions costar Ge You but I'm also guessing that this is the film that Shu Qi was shooting with Andy Lau recently, though this article does not mention Andy.
And Charlene Choi was out-and-about at a charity gig, doing her part to help in some cause. Perhaps the cause of just looking adorable? Her latest, Butterfly Lovers, is already up for pre-order at YesAsia.com and you can get it here.
