Asian big screen superstars, Jet Li, and the Chinese bombshell Zhang Ziyi of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon fame, could have their next starring role in a $20 million New Zealand production.

The film, A Kung Fu Western Love Story, was top of the list of five projects discussed by Chinese film and Government officials and Waitakere City Council yesterday.

“We think it would be fantastic to have two of China’s greatest stars, Jet Li and Zhang Ziyi, to kickstart New Zealand’s co-production venture with China,” said Pacific Culture and Arts Exchange chairman Jim He, who was organizing the talks. “It will definitely make an international impact.”


Interesting. Zhang Ziyi must have 3 or 4 projects on the go! New Zealand eh? I wonder what kind of storyline lumps NZ and China together? Will Jet Li be doing the Haka?

Teenager Lee makes Tour history



Souce: BBC

While I was watching Phil Mickleson huff and puff and make it to the finish line at Riviera, there was an update that 17-year old Danny Lee won in Australia on the European tour. Yes, the European Tour has tournaments everything from Dublin to Singapore. So may now I have to ditch the Japanese hottie for this one eh? I know, I'm so vain.

Being an amateur, he doesn't get to take home the €235,892 first prize! But I wonder if points count for the $20 million year end European Tour tournament in Dubai. That tournament is going to be insane. He should turn pro right now!

He'll be the next sporting hero from New Zealand!
