Confucius 2010 - Chow Yun Fat, Zhou Xun



Chow Yun-Fat may be known for his Hong Kong action movies and martial arts skills, but much like his peers Jackie Chan and Jet Li, he has been seizing the opportunity for more dramatic roles as he gets older. And really, you can’t get much farther from the action hero stereotypes than to play the Chinese philosopher Confucius in his very own biopic. This movie, titled simply Confucius, is directed by Mei Hu (Times Away from War), and reportedly has a budget somewhere in the range of $20 million — not much by Hollywood standards, but pretty expensive for a Chinese production.

The first trailer has arrived online, and it features no dialogue, choosing instead to showcase three minutes of beautiful imagery set to an epic score. Unfortunately, for those of us unfamiliar with the life of Confucius, it’s still not clear what exactly is going on here. I guess there’s a love story and some sort of political struggle, but where does the invention of the fortune cookie come into play??? According to the trailer, Confucius will be released in the spring of 2010.
