Another scene from Memoirs of a Geisha. It looks stunning. It is scheduled for release in December 2005.

At 9:11 PM, Tania said...: Why have they cast a Chinese actress as a geisha? Is the geisha in the book Chinese? (I never read the book.) I like Zhang Ziyi and all, but she's definitely, definitely not Japanese.

There was lots of anger concerning the casting of this movie. I am just excited that they casted Gong Li. She should be in more movies.

Mel-
They have finally started filming. I have been waiting a long time for this movie. I am not crazy for the director(Rob Marshall for Chicago). Hopefully it will be good.
At 10:22 AM, Tania said...: How bizarre. Well, I guess if Alfred Molina can be a Mexican, a Frenchman, and a Jew, Zhang Ziyi can be Japanese. I guess.

No, I'm sorry, I still don't get it. So what, is the production all in English? Is it in Chinese?

I'm so bloody confused.
At 5:17 PM, Annieytown said...: I am guessing that it is an english production. It is being produced by Dreamworks and it is being directed by Rob Marshall(Cabaret). I just hope it is not a musical.

Good news: Gong Li is in it! I love her! She has to be the evil geisha!
