Ye Meng with the latest on BASIC INSTINCT 2 & the Chinese version of SILENCE OF THE LAMBS'

Published at:  Sep 27, 2000 1:32:04 AM CDT

Hey folks, Harry here... with our fantastic covert spy in China... Ye Meng. Is it just me... or do you have no interest in a BASIC INSTINCT sequel. I only wanted an additional 30 seconds... Sharon plunging the ice pick into Douglas' gargling bloody throat as he realizes... "HE'S SCREWED" Sigh... Oh well... Maybe they'll stretch it for like 2 hours. Here's Ye....



Hi Harry!

Ye is here!

Yesterday in Hong Kong, Anita Mui (Mui Yim Fong) had
met Mari Kassar, the producer of Basic Instinct II’s.
They has discussed a possible role for Anita Mui in
the sequel – a lesbian. Anita Mui can be seen in many
Hong Kong flicks, with Jackie Chan, Chow Yan Fat, and
Jet Li.

Chinese star Gong Li has been asked to join Guilty of
Murder, called the Chinese version of The Silence of
the Lambs. Written by Chen Yuanbin, the same author of
The Story of Qiu Ju which was played by Gong Li, it
tells a story of a shrink (the role for Gong Li)
counseling a convicted killer, a young cop, and
uncovering more secrets in behind.

Meanwhile, Ang Lee Michelle Yeoh and Zhang Ziyi are
promoting Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Japan.
According to a Japanese reporter, Zhang Ziyi has
become an idol of many Japanese. He said Zhang was
smart and ambitious. The promotion has been expanded
from seven days to nine days due to Zhang’s
popularity. Also, some report has suggested Zhang Ziyi
will be on the cover of Time magazine later this year.

The shooting of TV series Korean War, with 30
episodes, has begun. Produced by China’s CCTV, it will
feature leaders and of China, The US, the Soviet
Union, North and South Korea, Japan and the UK,
including Mao Tse-Tung, Harry Truman and Joseph
Stalin.

    Am I missing something?

    by moovees

    Why the hell is Basic Instinct 2 mentioned in the title for this item? There's NOTHING about it other than "I have no interest in it." What the hell is that? Maybe I'll submit a "scoop" about how I'm excited in anticipation of Hannibal...

    This is the most exciting news I've ever heard.

    by enigmainyourhead

    It's incredible how much stuff Garth reports on at Dark Horizons, and AICN just misses. Wasn't this site once about cool movies and occasinally foreign and indie films? Now its foreign and indie film central...

    Uncapie! This site isn't a place to post racist stereotypes. Maybe you think you're funny, but I sure don't. They should ban your ass.

    I don't think Uncapie is being serious, I thought the South Park line was pretty funny.

    by toby o notoby

    So let me get this straight, this site "sucks" and has no news compared to "real sites like Dark Horizons and Coming Attractions" yet you still have a) come to AICN, b) clicked on this article, c) read the report, d) took the time to click on the talkbacks and finally e) wrote a note how how tedious steps a-d were. What do you do in your (quite considerable, I'm guessing) spare time, eat dog shit and complain that "Hey, this tastes like dog shit!" God, what a fucking loser.

    Chinese copy American movies all the time

    by harosa

    I've seen a Chinese gangster flick that has exact scenes from True Romance and State of Grace. There is also a movie called "The Professionals" that is almost an exact shot for shot remake of "Heat".

    not only would I want to see it, I'd eat it too!

    by gigolo aunt

    I don't care how old she is.It is good for Hollywood to have a female sex symbol over the age of 21(but there's absolutely nothing wrong with 21 year olds).Anyway sex will be the big sellin gpoint of this movie,and it will most likely suck big time

    I Ate His Liver With A Couple Of Egg Rolls and A Pot of Green Te

    Now how in the world is poor Hannibal Lector going to get to kill anyone in Hong Kong when your typical cop over there comes sliding down a bannister with two .45s blazing and a toothpick clamped between his teeth while his best friend, a hit man who has been forced to fulfill a contract on the cop, rushes to the cop's aid with a Czech Skorpion spitting round after round? Meanwhile, another cop is dropping out of a helicopter, through a diaper changing class, slipping on a bar of soap down a up escalator until he gets caught in a scaffold, which he uses to spin around and beat Hannibal's brains out. That's the kind of law enforcement we need in the States! Oh, and I've read the script for BASIC INSTINCT II (or as the show business fancy boys like to call it BI2). It seems that Catherine has decided to take over the world. She gathers a gang of gorgeous lesbians who like to have sex with men, bringing them from all corners of the globe. They must surrender their panties to become a member of Catherine's diabolical cabal the Secret Organization For Total Babes All Lesbian Ladies! Or SOFTBALL. They go out and have sex with men and murder them. The funny thing is, the guys know their going to get murdered but they keep going for it, so Catherine has victor over men. The law abiding lesbian population of the world is demoralized because all these babes are going out with men, so Catherine has victory over lesbians. It's up to a secret society of gay men and straight women (Heros Against Gorgeous Schemers or HAGS) to defeat Catherine and save the world. Rupert Everett and Julia Roberts will reteam as the leaders of HAGS. Charlie Sheen, Christian Slater and that guy from the REAL WORLD who gets all the girls in N'Orleans will play some of the guys Catherine's minions kill. And of course, the lovely Sharon Stone will be back, without her skivvies.

    I think AMERICAN fILMS COPY HK films more

    by k-boski

    I am sorry but I don't agree with the dude that said Chinese films always copy American films. Hang on didn't Ringo Lam copy Reservoir Dogs!?!?!for City On Fire....your right HK films ALWAYS copy American films even though City on Fire was made 4 years earlier he must have copied Back to The Future2(another American film) and travelled into the future to watch it!what a copy cat!!!!!!!!
