Here's a trailer for Ang Lee's latest, Lust Caution. Tony Leung Chiu Wai brings the sexy back to 1939 or something. Again. My favorite Ang Lee story was told to me by some ILM people who worked on Hulk. During the making of that film Ang did something unprecedented for a director at the VFX stage: he was at ILM every day working with the effects team directing the animation of the green monster and even more strangely, he himself acted out a lot of the motion capture. So when you see Hulk crush those tanks you're watching Ang Lee's body language. He said, as strange as this might seem, that Hulk was an incredibly personal film. I'm not saying that Ang Lee is a radioactive mutant...

I think Ang Lee is an excellent director. That little story about the Hulk, I've seen the video for it. I've seen him on HBO special look or whatever show they've got on HBO doing those hulk movements. I just have a problem with Tony Leung being typecast for that early 1930s or whatever 2046/Days of Being Wild (last scene)/In the Mood for Love role he plays. I love WKW and I like Tony Leung's stuff but why's he gotta keep doing that? Seriously
I was reading about WKW's Blueberry Nights earlier and it's just so exciting the acknowledgment of all these Chinese directors.
