New movie!

I just saw this news bit and thought I'd pass it along, since it really is possible that I was not the last to know about it.

Zhang's Mandarin-language Hero, a saga of ancient China starring Jet Li, topped the box-office for two straight weekends after its belated U.S. debut in late August. Close behind it will be Zhang's House of Flying Daggers, another martial-arts historical tale playing at the Toronto International Film Festival and due in U.S. theaters late this year.

From elsewhere in the article, it says that House of Flying Daggers will star Zhang Ziyi, and is set in the 9th century.

It's already playing here in Japan, and it's really good. It's not quite as epic in scale as Hero, but it was a good story, great cinematography, and some really awesome fight scenes.

I definitely recommend it.

Cool. Is there any chance you could sneak into a theater with a digital movie camera and then e-mail me a copy of the movie?

[Lord Gwydion]

Not likely. My digital camera only takes 30 seconds of video at a time, and the quality is poor. Guess you'll just have to wait.

[Pagan priest]

Does anyone know just how long the wait is likely to be?

Sigh, I'm on a borrowed computer so I don't even know when (or if) I'll see the answer, but it looks like a good movie and I want to know when to start searching the listing to be able to see it.
