Dark October Mugged by Bodyguards and Assassins
-- Bodyguards and Assassins --
At today's press conference for Bodyguards and Assassins (formerly DarkOctober), a movie on a group of people protecting Sun Yat Sen againstassassination when he was in Hong Kong to raise funds on October 15,1905, the cast was formally announced.
At this stage, it's not known who'd be playing Dr Sun Yat Sen, afterChow Yun Fatt, who's doing the film on Confucius that begins filmingaround the same time, declined the offer. Director Teddy Chan explainsthat Sun Yat Sen is not the key figure in Bodyguards and Assassins,rather the film shows the history of Hong Kong through a group ofpeople protecting Sun Yat Sen.
The partial cast announced includes "Gambler" Donnie Yen, "Beggar" LeonLai, "Rickshaw Puller" Nicholas Tse, "Revolutionary" Tony Leung KarFai, "Assassin" Hu Jun, "General in Exile" Simon Yam, policeCommissioner" Eric Tsang, "Mistress" Fan Bing Bing, "Scion" Wang BaiJue, Wang Xue Qi and Zhou Yun.
Among the various characters, Donnie Yen's role is particularly ofgreat import, full of suspense and development. Unlike the others, heisn't a patriotic or righteous person initially, even in the finalinstance, he's still uncertain of his own stand. Fan Bing Bing playsDonne Yen's wife, but remarries tycoon Wang Xue Qi to be his mistressdue to a twist of events.
While Nicholas Tse had actually auditioned for this film several yearsago before the production was held up, it's until only recently thathis role as the rickshaw puller, one that would lay down his life forDr Sun, was confirmed.
Hu Jun, as the main villain, one sent by the Manchu government toassassinate Dr Sun, would be shaving his head bald. Hu Jun would alsobe joining Jingle Ma's ongoing production Hua Mulan starring VickiZhao, playing a Hun general.
The 150m yuan film produced by Peter Chan, action directed by StephenTung Wai, begins production in early April 2009 and would be releasedin December 2009. Sina
