Andy Lau, Maggie Q & Sammo Hung. A trio I would have never thought to see on the big screen together, join forces for director Daniel Lee’s (Black Mask) epic tale.

I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I saw the lineup...especially with Maggie Q (Mission Impossible III, Live Free, Die Hard) thrown into the mix. I was quite anxious however to see Andy Lau’s (House of Flying Daggers) performance as well as Sammo Hung’s, mostly cause I hadn’t seen Sammo on screen in quite awhile.

(more...)

Daron, did you watch this at the Tribeca Film Festival? When I saw it, it was in Mandarin with English subs. I don’t think you can fault the director for not showing enough Maggie Q. She wasn’t central to the story until the second half. I never really watch Andy Lau as an actor, but I was impressed by his performance.

Andy Lau is a great actor and has won many acting awards in HK and Taiwan. He’s probably the most hardworking entertainer in Asia and I won’t be a least bit surprised if he decides to campaign himself for the Chief Executive of Hong Kong post next. LOL.

Oh speaking of Maggie Q, here’s a clip of her praising Faye Wong. Talk about one style icon admiring another :)

This movie isn’t out yet right? It’s still in the festival stage, so when is it going to come out. I <3 Andy Lau no matter how old he is

Lol. He’s one of the hot old guys. The movie was really good and supposedly historically accurate. Definitely better than the Forbidden Kingdom, I felt that I wasted my money watching it!

Oh...the complaint about the language was my own complaint to me...lol...I certainly know the director had nothing to do with that..

And yep..I saw it at this years Tribeca Fest…

i was surprised to see maggie q in this movie. the role is more serious than her other movies.

So was I! Especially after the Edison photos...:X

Maggie wasn’t in the Edison photos right? Anyway, the reviews for this movie were so-so. Yet Forbidden Kingdom fared better. I don’t know why that is.

i read the review from imdb...they said it wasn’t good! and rottentomatoes gave forbidden kingdom 64%? which is pretty high. i still want to see i though. andy lau is hot! haha

and she was in the photos. i think it was just one photo though

Am I the only one not a big fan of Maggie Q? She has a lot of stupid roles just like Lucy Liu.

Azn..

Yea..well..I think you have a legit beef...but I think she’s only beginning to see her true capability as an actress. That’s what I was hoping to see here in Three Kingdoms…

I don’t know...All I know is she was great in Mission Impossible and Live Free, Die Hard...then those weren’t exactly dialogue heavy roles so..we have some more waiting to see I guess…

When is this movie coming out? I’m looking forward to it now. I’m reading that Andy Lau has the same status as the dreamy Chow Yun-Fat.

At least a year I would say. If we’re lucky, by the end of the year just in time for Oscar submission deadline.

Hoc, is there anyway you can find out a definitely deadline. Based on what you guys have said, I’m really interested in seeing this movie.
