Zhang readies the martial-arts saga_娱乐Entertainment
a few years back, zhang yimou was a bit miffed that fellow filmmaker ang lee was faster on the draw in elevating the martial-arts epic to serious cinema. but now that lee’s "crouching tiger, hidden dragon" has broken the genre into the mainstream among western audiences, zhang is happy to follow his lead.
zhang’s mandarin-language "hero," a saga of ancient china starring jet li, topped the box-office for two straight weekends after its belated u.s. debut in late august. close behind it will be zhang’s "house of flying daggers," another martial-arts historical tale playing at the toronto international film festival and due in u.s. theaters late this year.
"it’s difficult to shoot two together in such a short period of time. after that, i feel like i’m getting addicted to shooting martial-arts films," said zhang, 52, one of china’s most acclaimed filmmakers, whose works include "ju dou," "raise the red lantern" and "the road home."
