Maggie Q: Edison Chen Was A Good Actor Before ‘Sex Photogate’ Happened

Andy Lau, Maggie Q and Sammo Hung turned out April 1 for the Beijing bow of Danny Lee’s historic martial arts actioner “Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon.” Chinese auds have been particularly taken with Andy Lau’s unusual headgear, a rimmed helmet that they say looks like a UFO. The $20 million epic actioner also features Yu Rongguang. “Three Kingdoms” is based on “The Romance of the Three Kingdoms” by Luo Guangzhong, a tale of Zhao Yun, who lived during the Three Kingdoms period set in 220-265 A.D. The story is often cited as one of the four most important pieces of Chinese literature and is rich enough in material to provide a story line for another big Asian production, John Woo’s “Red Cliff,” which is still in post-production. Maggie Q, best known in the West for her roles in “Die Hard 4.0″ and “MI:3,” stars as Cao Ying, a vicious female warrior in charge of the Wei kingdom. Local Chinese media were keen to grill pic’s Maggie Q about a recent sex photos scandal in Hong Kong involving Edison Chen, whose racy photos of top stars were spread online. “I’m not going to answer any questions that are not about the movie. Edison Chen was a good actor before ‘Sex Photogate’ happened,” she told the Beijing News. Coin and post-production input came from South Korea’s Taewon Entertainment, with additional funding from equity investors. International sales are by Arclight Films, the L.A. and Australia-based sales agent, which will rep the film under its Easternlight label. Chinese producer-distrib Polybona has China rights for the pic, which opens April 3 in South Korea, China, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia, and it will feature in competition at Tribeca mid-April.

Lock Up Your Daughters — Edison Chen Is Back And Twice As Sexy

Edison Chen to film movie in Singapore He said ‘I quit’ to the Hong Kong entertainment industry just 35 days ago. But it seems this declaration will not spell the end of Edison Chen, not with his alleged forays into Hollywood and now, Singapore. A report from Apple Daily said that the star of the recent sex scandal may be coming to Singapore to film a movie, with sultry siren Shu Qi no less. The movie, said to be a arthouse love story, is a collaboration between an unknown Singapore company and an independent American production house. A cool $13.8 million has already been pumped into the movie’s funds, according to a report by Lianhe Wanbao. Filming will take place in two locations - Singapore and Chicago. According to Shin Min Daily news, Edison will play an American student who meets Shu Qi after coming over to Singapore for work, sparking off a cross-country love affair. However, their relationship ceases abruptly due to parental objection from Edison’s screen family. Edison’s Hong Kong manager - as reported in Lianhe Wanbao - has confirmed this piece of news, indicating that both the widely-recognised bad boy and Shu Qi have started reading the script. Credits to Asiaone & kwc@AsianFanatics Whew! and I thought he wasn’t going to appear on screen for a loooong time. Anyways, the netizens were right. He was very careful with his words when he said he was leaving the HK Entertainment Business Indefinitely. Smart kid, but didn’t surprise anyone at all. Except that a film in Singapore was really unexpected. Did he think that Singapore would be less informed of his scandals in HK? Anyways, the idea of Edison in Singapore pleases me. *Big Grins* You didn’t think I would end my post there, did you? Well, I’ve been trying to erase my current emotions towards Yunho by backtracking his past videos, reminding myself why I’m Soooo Much In Lurve with this Hottie.

Edison Chen — The News Story That Never Ends — Plans For Edison Chen And Shu Qi Together In New Movie

His scandal has made him even more famous overnight in the USA, he doesn’t need HK. Edison Chen is to film a movie in Singapore. He said ‘I quit’ the Hong Kong entertainment industry just 35 days ago. But it seems this declaration will not spell the end of Edison Chen, not with his alleged forays into Hollywood and now, Singapore. A report from Apple Daily said that the star of the recent sex scandal may be coming to Singapore to film a movie, with sultry siren Shu Qi no less. The movie, said to be a art-house love story, is a collaboration between an unknown Singapore company and an independent American production house. A cool $13.8 million has already been pumped into the movie’s funds, according to a report by Lianhe Wanbao. Filming will take place in two locations - Singapore and Chicago. According to Shin Min Daily news, Edison will play an American student who meets Shu Qi after coming over to Singapore for work, sparking off a cross-country love affair. However, their relationship ceases abruptly due to parental objection from Edison’s screen family. Edison’s Hong Kong manager - as reported in Lianhe Wanbao - has confirmed this piece of news, indicating that both the widely-recognised bad boy and Shu Qi have started reading the script. I don’t know about you, but I might be the only who thinks that Edison’s still a hottie. I was really turned off by his last scandal and it really took away all my respect for him. But I don’t hate the guy, in fact I’d still watch his movies when he’d release one. The only thing I don’t like about him before was his music (most of it) and when he goes Yo~ Yo~ Yo~ !! Oww please, spare me! But now… after all that he’s been through, after all the ladies he’s exposed… he’s going back to Asia, this time Singapore to do what he does best -acting. But does that mean that he would sleep with his leading lady? Hmmm, you can’t deny it, but it’s going to be the first thing that comes to your head. Anyway, about the said movie, I hope it’s going to be a good one, and I hope it’s really going to happen. Coz I’d love to see them both Edi and Shu Qi in one movie.

Britney Spears Celebrated Her Big TV Comeback Monday Night With A Dinner Date With Her Bodyguard And A Female Friend In Beverly Hills

She Had Good Reason To Rejoice: Her Cameo On CBS Hot “How I Met Your Mother” Helped The Show Earn Its Highest Ratings Ever

***Britney Spears, 26, has seen her life spiral out of control since her November 2006 breakup with ex-husband Kevin Federline. She has been in rehab, lost custody of her two sons and in January was taken to two Los Angeles-area hospitals where she was put under psychiatric evaluation. I’m not sure why Britney Spears is already back in the recording studio, but the “Gimme More” singer was spotted leaving the Alleycat Recording Studio in Hollywood, California on Monday in a casual khaki dress. She just put out a CD, and I’m wondering if she’s so hard on cash that she’s pumping another one out. Britney Spears’ guest appearance in “How I Met Your Mother” gave the CBS sitcom its highest rating of the season on Monday, and assured the modest performer will be renewed for a fourth season in the fall. Britney Jean Spears was born in rural Louisiana. She loved singing since childhood. She sang with the choir in her local church and even sang on national television as a Star Search contestant. Bad, sad or trying hard to behave, Britney Spears can still attract an audience. The question on Monday night was which audience. And it’s enlightening to see exactly where this falling pop star fits on television’s implacable scale of celebrity redemption***

U.S. Deploy Infantry Robots Equipped With Automatic Weapons In Iraq

The world is sleepwalking into an international robot arms race, a leading expert will warn today. US forces recently deployed remote-controlled robots equipped with automatic weapons in Iraq. The Foster-Miller Armed TALON Robot, used by the US army. Prof Noel Sharkey fears increased research and spending on unmanned military systems by countries including the US, Russia, China and Israel will lead to the use of autonomous battlefield robots that can decide when to kill within a decade. In a keynote speech he will also predict it is only a matter of time before robots become a standard terrorist weapon to replace suicide bombers. Prof Sharkey, of the University of Sheffield’s Department of Computer Science, is best known as a judge in the BBC television series Robot Wars. He will outline his fears in a speech at a conference on the ethics of unmanned military systems at the Royal United Services Institute, a respected defence think tank. Prof Sharkey said yesterday: “There’s a massive drive towards developing autonomous robots for more complex missions. “We are rapidly moving towards robots that can make the decision to apply lethal force, when to apply it and who to apply it to. I think maybe we’re taking about a 10-year time frame. “If one country develops autonomous robots, it is clear that other countries will follow suit. What worries me is real soldiers can use common sense in situations such as deciding whether a woman is pregnant or carrying explosives. Robots do not. “Neither can they make decisions about the proportional use of force. Most soldiers would not for example blow up a school full of children if there is a sniper on its roof, but who knows what a robot would do.” The American Department of Defence (DoD) last year published a 25-year plan to spend as £12 billion on robotic air, land and sea systems. US forces recently deployed the first battlefield robots equipped with automatic weapons in Iraq. Talon Sword robots are versions of remote-controlled, track-wheeled bomb disposal devices that can be equipped with various weapons including machine guns and rocket launchers. Four are already in use by the 3rd Infantry Division and 80 more are on order. Currently under international Laws of War humans must be part of any decision to use robots to kill, however the recent DoD programme outlined plans to make them increasingly autonomous. Last year nine soldiers were killed in South Africa when an aircraft gun designed to target other aircraft, helicopters and cruise missiles automatically malfunctioned. A trial at the Old Bailey two years ago heard how a gang of would-be terrorists discussed plans to strap bombs to remote controlled model aeroplanes. Prof Sharkey warned that with the cost of components falling, military developments would inevitably be copied by terrorists. He added it would cost around £250 for terrorists to improvise an unmanned aircraft to deliver explosives using a mobile phone with GPS technology and a model aeroplane. “You could also make thousands of ground-based robots cheaply to replace suicide bombers. I have judged many robot competitions and I know how easy it is. “Once the new weapons are out there, they will be fairly easy to copy. How long is it going to be before the terrorists get in on the act? “There is an urgent need for national governments and the international community to assess the risks of these new weapons now rather than after they have crept their way into common use.”

Points to debate:

(a)
Who needs conscription when you’ve got killer robots?
(b)
What if there’s a lightening storm which causes an electrical fault and the robots leave their military base and wreck a nearby American town? (possible script for a future horror movie)

The Adventures Of Dr Nayland Smith And His Attempts To Capture His Elusive Arch-Enemy, The Villainous Dr Fu Manchu

Filed under: Books, Entertainment — Tags: , , , , , — haecus @ 05 39

A killer kitty with poison-tipped claws, giant noxious mushrooms and aphonia-inducing flowers are just some of the challenges faced by Sir Denis Nayland Smith and Dr Petrie in their battles against arch-villain Fu Manchu. Adapted from the ‘yellow peril’ stories by Sax Rohmer, The Mystery of Dr Fu Manchu and its follow-up series, The Further Mysteries of Dr Fu Manchu, ran for a total of 23 episodes and charted the Chinese crime lord’s attempts to overthrow Western civilisation through a mixture of cold-blooded murder, Eastern mysticism and outlandish science.
