Hey guys,

I just got some interesting news from Twitchfilm.net

"Well, I think my head is pleasantly buzzing like I had pop-rocks and coca-cola. Normally everyone complains about remakes, but I am putting myself squarely in the optimism camp upon the news out of Hong Kong that iconic director Zhang Yimou is currently in the midst of shooting a remake of the Coen Brothers’ debut film, neo-noir Blood Simple.

Titled San Qiang Pai An Jing Qi(basic translation: “The Stunning Case of the Three Gun Shots”), it is great to see Zhang Yimou making films again instead of doing weddings, Olympic Ceremonies and other in-the-moment work for hire jobs. And a noir-picture to boot (although arguments could be made that several of the directors films are noir-ish, despite his gorgeous colour palettes)."
