Hey folks, Harry here with this tidbit from our man in China... the man that knows all... Ye Meng. I'm a big fan of Joseph Fiennes, ever since SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE, which I know many of you hate with a passion comparable only to that of a child for the sidewalk his ice cream melts upon... but he's a damn fine actor.. and Chen Kaige is a wondrous director. BUT I'm a sucker for titles and the title of this film is the coolest I've heard since THE WAY OF THE GUN... damn fine title that one...
Hi Harry!
Ye is here!
Joseph Fiennes from Shakespeare in Love has been cast for the upcoming film Killing Me Softly.
