Linkin Park’s Joe Hahn on the Set of “The Mall”

That’s Joe doing what he’s been working on for years. It’s not an album, not anything band related, but the chops from directing music videos and short films for many years now culminates in a feature starring Vincent D’Onofrio and many others. Visit him on the set and see if he’s still wearing the GR Cap. (Charitybuzz – Joe Hahn)

Lee Byung-hun Back in GI Joe Sequel

He’s back. So is the movie that didn’t fare so well. The film, Gi Joe: the Retaliation will be happening soon also starring The Rock and Bruce Willis. Here’s an interesting quote since it’s about the language barrier and how things go when one part goes wrong. “”But I’d just forget every line – literally every single line – when I was told that I’d pronounced one word wrong while acting. Having to think that I somehow have to fix my pronunciation for that one word would just make me totally lost at the set. There’s a huge difference between making conversation in a foreign language and acting in a foreign language. I feel the most comfortable when I perform for pieces that are based on Korean culture. So I can’t help but feel that I could’ve done better if this were a Korean movie.”” The movie will hit theaters in the summer.

Asians at Cannes

Asian films to compete at Cannes. That’s Im Sang Soo above. “On Thursday the festival announced its lineup, which includes director Hong Sang-soo’s “In Another Country” and “The Taste of Money” from director Im Sang-soo. Mr. Hong’s feature “Hahaha” won the Prix Un Certain Regard at Cannes two years ago. Abbas Kiarostami, one of Iran’s most celebrated directors, will also compete for the top prize with “Like Someone in Love”. The drama, which takes place in Japan and has been getting some buzz on the Internet, focuses on the relationship between a young woman and an older man.” (WSJ – Cannes)

After Animal Style/on preduce’s Chaiyo!

Even though I was the designated “curator” of Saturday afternoon’s Animal Style skate video program at FAAIM’s annual film festival, there was still some room for surprise. I had actually never seen Chiayo!, the third video released by the preduce shops/crew from Bangkok. But I had a feeling it would totally rip just like its predecessors, and that is exactly what happened. Loosely framed by a self-deprecating bachelor party theme that channels the spirit of the Bones Brigade, it shows shredding from all over Thailand, China, and even the United States. Next-level skating, crazy style, and amazing scenery leads up to Lert Saeri absolutely killing it in the final sequence. And if that weren’t enough, there’s a totally rad ’80s Thai new wave soundtrack on top of that!
