Twitch: Tang Wei top a short list be a Bond Girl in [JB23]. Other contenders include Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing, Shu Qi and Josie Ho. Antibody Oct 14, 10:06

Two Bingbing's and a Ho? No Wei that's the Qi to 007's future... {nm} Facto Oct 14, 10:16

Ha! That's good. {nm} PRodQuanta Oct 14, 10:40

Apparently, the Chinese box office is in 007's future. :) Having a major Chinese investor may qualify JB23 as a "domestic" release that's Antibody Oct 14, 10:34

Broccoli seems to have a future then, at least :) {nm} Facto Oct 14, 10:38

If so, Chinese government will have the final cut on this film {nm} Peterlee Oct 14, 10:49

for China. {nm} Antibody Oct 14, 10:54

for worldwide release {nm} Peterlee Oct 14, 11:21

All foreign films are subject to Chinese government approval anyways, so in essence they have final cut on all films released in China. {nm} Antibody Oct 14, 11:19

But if a major Chinese investor co-finances a film, then Chinese government will be able to control the film's worldwide theatrical versions {nm} Peterlee Oct 14, 11:23

Otherwise, the film won't be able to release in China {nm} Peterlee Oct 14, 11:24

wow, if thats true, thats pretty crazy {nm} Moviesnob Oct 14, 12:23

China is full of crazy matters {nm} Peterlee Oct 14, 12:49

well, its a big country, but giving China final cut is a lot to give up, especially for a franchise this big {nm} Moviesnob Oct 14, 13:07

That stuff about China having final cut all over the world is totally lame. Doesn't piracy run rampant in China, thereby cutting into BO? HarryWarden Oct 14, 12:54
