This Monday, Jet Li's started filming a US$40 million war epic about three blood brothers set in the period of China's imperial Qing dynasty. It also stars veteran Hong Kong actor Andy Lau and Taiwanese-Japanese heartthrob Takeshi Kaneshiro, one of the investors in the Chinese-language film said. Details of "Ci Ma" have been dribbling out in Chinese media recently. Director Peter Chan and the main cast members officially launched the production at a news conference in Beijing this week. "Ci Ma" is a remake of martial arts director Chang Cheh's 1973 movie "The Blood Brothers" originally starring Ti Lung, Chiang Da Wei, Ching Li and Chen Kuan Tai. It is about the breakdown of the friendship between three men when one kills another to steal his wife and the third seeks revenge. Spokeswoman Emily Wong is with Hong Kong's Media Asia Films, one of the investors in the movie. She said director Chan will largely follow the story of "The Blood Brothers." A statement from Media Asia says the three blood brothers, played by Li, Lau and Kaneshiro, rose up the ranks of the Qing dynasty army after joining the fight against rebels. Chan says his treatment of the story will stress "friendship, compassion, and personal sacrifice in the time of war." Much speculation had focused on the female lead for the movie, but now it was revealed that Chinese actress-director Xu Jinglei has just been awarded the role.
"Ci Ma" marks Chan's departure from the romance genre he is best known for. His credits include "Comrades, Almost a Love Story," and the Hollywood film "The Love Letter.” His most recent work is the musical "Perhaps Love”. The film won Chan the best director prize at this year's Golden Horse Awards in Taiwan, the Chinese-language equivalent of the Oscars.
"Ci Ma" involves major scenes like a 10,000-man army fighting in a blizzard and filming is due to take place in Beijing, Shanghai and Hengdian, located southwest of Shanghai. The film is scheduled for world wide release at Christmas 2007. Among the other investors are the state-run China Film Group and Warner China Film HG, a three-way collaboration between the Hollywood studio Warner Bros., China Film Group and private Chinese conglomerate Hengdian Group.
