sp; width="86" height="20"> Monkey Peaches reports that according to Hong Kong paper Oriental Daily, John Woo is planning to do a historical epic based on part of classic Chinese novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. So far, Chow Yun-Fat is the first and the only one being named. Woo would not include or exclude any actor or actress from the future casting, although it will be a Chinese only cast.
Written by Luo Guanzhong in the 14th and 15th Century, Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a grand scale book depicting the Chinese history in the 2nd and 3rd Century, during which China split into three kingdoms following the fall of Han Dynasty, and after decades of war and peace, reunified under a new dynasty, Jin.
It is not the first time John Woo expressed his wish to make the film and it will not happen in the very near future, because the preparation would take a while. Woo will do "Spy Hunter" for Universal first, with "The Rock", and the a film for UN Children's Fund, along with eight other directors.
Woo said he might do a sequel to "Face/Off".
Thanks to 'Antoine'.
