Ang Lee's rival on the silver screen is Chinese people's favorite, Feng Xiaogang, who is bringing "Remembering 1942", his biggest investment ever, with an all-star cast including Zhang Guoli, Xu Fan, Adrien Brody and Tim Robbins.
In the meantime, director Lu Chuan's long-awaited epic "The Last Supper" has finally revealed its release date. Adapted from a piece of history in the Han Dynasty, Lu Chuan is confident of interpreting the story from his own perspective, rather than previous historical dramas.
