Andy Lau understands What Women Want Hong Kong superstar Andy Lau is set to star in a remake of What Women Want, the romantic comedy that starred Mel Gibson as a chauvinist who can read the minds of the opposite sex. Backed by China's Bona International Film Group, the US$5 million Chinese-language production will also feature hot Chinese actress Fan Bingbing who reprises the role of Helen Hunt. Mainland actor-director Chen Daming will helm the film. Beijing-based Paramount consultant Dede Nickerson serves as one of the producers although the US studio is not officially onboard as financier or distributor of the new film. The original film, released by Paramount in 2000, was an international box office hit. While it is understood that the story will stay close to the original, the new film will also deal with the social dynamics between men and women in China in a humorous way, a rare subject matter for a Chinese film. Production is due to begin in May with a release targeted for Valentine's Day in 2011. Hong Kong-based Distribution Workshop handles international sales. Lau previously collaborated with Fan in period war film Battle of Wits and sci-fi fantasy Future X-Cops. http://www.hkfilmart.com/ |

Gong Li to star in Chinese 'What Women Want' By Jonathan Landreth Gong Li will star in Chen Daming's Chinese remake of the romantic comedy "What Women Want" with Andy Lau. Gong, who next appears opposite John Cusack in the Weinstein Co.'s upcoming World War II thriller "Shanghai," is one of the most globally recognized Chinese actresses. She won the "Women" role over the much younger Fan Bingbing, who in March was reported to have joined the cast. Gong will play the creative director at a Beijing advertising firm run by a chauvinistic (and mind-reading) Lau. Gong's manager Christophe Tseng told The Hollywood Reporter that the contract was likely to be signed in a few days. Chen, who adapted the original script by Nancy Meyers from the hit 2000 Paramount film starring Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt, said Gong is a natural for the lead. "I wanted to bring more strength out in the woman character to reflect what's happening in China," said Chen, an actor who most recently directed 2006's "One Foot Off the Ground." "Chinese women are leading giant businesses today and winning most of our Olympic gold. Gong Li has the presence to convey this strength." Fan, who starred opposite Lau in "Future X-cops" (2009) and "Battle of Wits" (2006), is "too young," Chen said. "Seeing her again opposite Andy wouldn't be fresh. Gong Li brings something fresh." Both actresses are highly visibly sponsors of cosmetic products targeting China's newly ascendant middle-class woman. The picture, budgeted at $5 million, was set to begin filming Tuesday in the central business district of Beijing, producer Dede Nickerson said. Beijing-based advertising agency DMG is working with Bona International Film Group the production and distribution giant bankrolling "Women," to secure product placement to offset some of the budget. Producing are Chen and Nickerson, with Bona CEO Yu Dong executive producing. Analysts say Bona is working on plans to take its shares public on the New York Stock Exchange later this year. Chen hopes to deliver the film, shot mostly in downtown Beijing and on the China Film Group's Huairou soundstages, in time for a Valentine's Day release. Bona executive Jeffrey Chan will handle overseas sales through Distribution Workshop, his Hong Kong-based outfit with Nansun Shi. Beijing-based Nickerson, a former consultant in China for Paramount, now works with Dune Entertainment. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/ |

So, does this mean at some point later in his career Andy Lau is gonna get drunk, say bad things about the Jewish community and then threaten somebody with rape? |
