I also can't wait to see the fruits of this collaboration
between Wong Kar-Wai and Lawrence Block. But it may be a long
time coming. Wong is an inveterate tinkerer on his projects;
his latest film 2046, a sequel of sorts to the spellbinding
IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE, was in the works for four years. Wong
was shooting right up until the film's debut at Cannes last
May. It'll be interesting to see how two personalities with
such different creative approaches mesh.
In an earlier Block newsletter, he alluded to an
internationally known actress being involved in the
production. Now that mystery has been solved: Wong has been
talking to Nicole Kidman about starring in his next film.
This is shaping up to be some movie.
