Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai's
long-anticipated epic 'The Grandmaster, ' starring Tony Leung Chiu-wai
as the legendary real-life martial-arts master Ip Man, opens this week
in China and Hong Kong. The film also stars Zhang Ziyi and Chang Chen.
Mr. Wong -- the director of such films as 'Days of Being Wild,' 'Happy
Together' and 'In the Mood for Love' -- devoted nearly a decade on
preparation for 'The Grandmaster,' which spent almost three years in
production. The famously meticulous filmmaker appeared at a press
conference with his cast on Sunday night in Beijing, where the film held
its world premiere.
Mr. Wong said the film, which runs well over two hours, 'could have last
four hours, but I deleted a lot of scenes,' according to a report from
Agence France-Presse.
The movie, set during China's turbulent political and social period of the 1930s, is in both Mandarin and Cantonese.
International audiences will have to wait a bit longer before getting a
first peek. 'The Grandmaster' will open next month's 63rd Berlin
International Film Festival, where Mr. Wong is this year's jury
president.
