And also somewhat related to Hong Kong news . . .

Trailer for Hong Kong socialite/actress Teresa Cheung's new production (;)) of W, directed by Oliver Stone.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEyJ2kdaaTQ
Albert Yeung is also one of the many producers (including one Peter Graves, but not sure which one) and Johnny Hon (PROTEGE) is an executive producer. Cheung also snagged a role in the film as "Asian Journalist". IMDB lists Gillian Chung in the cast, but at the moment she's the only performer with no character affiliantion in the entire list. :?

Gillian reportedly plays an Indian dance hall hostess :!:
She was said to have performed for no fee during a brief stopover in Louisiana enroute to/returning from auditioning for Pinkville in LA. :lol:
