John Woo's "Red Cliff" to Premiere in July

First time watching the trailer

Looking good until I saw Zhuge Liang who played by Kaneshiro Takeshi. Zhuge Liang is the symbol of wisdom but I don't feel like Kaneshiro having this attribute in the trailer.

BTW, white dove is now officially the signature of John Woo?

Talk about obvious! I'd have thought even Woo himself would be tired of the whole "dove motif".

Impressive trailer, though it will be nice to see one that isn't entirely made up of spectacle and poses . . .
