The trailer reminded me of Hero, HoFD, CTHD and all the other costume epics. Maybe hengcs can way lay those thoughts once he's seen the film.

It is a shame to see Zhang Ziyi pretty well typecast, I'm sure a little variation in her roles would do her the world of good as it has done for Maggie Cheung and Gong Li. Still at least she hasn't taken a role in a Hollywood movie that's a rehash of a lame 80's T.V. series yet unlike one of the actresses listed above. 

Cheers Trev.
