Next to Public Enemies, John Woo’s Red Cliff was (and still is) my most anticipated film of this year. The fact that it became the highest-grossing Chinese picture and the accolades being left on it aren’t helping me wait for this thing. Nor is the fact this poster has now hit stateside, and it looks like pure epicness. Reports also have the film opening in limited theaters and Video On Demand come November 20th.
If true, I ask all cinema goers to do one thing: please see this film over New Moon. I stress, please see this film over New Moon. John Woo is one of the best directors to ever get near a camera, even if his American films aren’t up to par with his previous work. Twilight is a cancer of a depressed, quality-hatin, Mormon maniac and it needs to be dee-stroyed. Do the right thing, support John Woo and let him know we in America want him back.
