Well, this blows.
The winning actor-director combo of John Woo and Chow Yun Fat took a rotten turn.
http://www.slashfilm.com/2007/04/16/chow-yun-fat-drops-out-of-john-woos-red-cliff/ There's probably no way that these two will EVER work again in this life.
Sad, sad, sad. I read that John Woo was fighting for years to try to get this project off the ground, there's no way he would ever forgive the unemployed Chow Yun Fat. Sad day for Woo and Fat film fans.
*sigh*
