Anyone care to wager on how long it will be before we see the Hong Kong movie version of that police gunfight in the subway pedestrian crossing?

I had the same thought. Can't pass up the cop in a wig angle either.

Not.

But that "press release" is amusing in it's deluded bootlicking. Zhang Ziyi would be an apt choice to play this woman, actually. They seem to have much in common beyond just their . . . agrarian looks, although whatever it is, it doesn't run particularly deep . . .

Now when she finallly abducts Tom Cruise, marries him in front of a congregation of stuffed animals, and eventually kills him when he tries to crawl out of the house because his ankles are broken, THAT will make an interesting movie. Although come to think of it, it does smell kinda familiar . . .
