Variety announced that the first major U.S. acquisition at Cannes this year is Zhang Yimou's latest, House of Flying Daggers, which was picked up by Sony Pictures Classics. Daggers boasts a cast just as attractive as Zhang's long-time leading lady Gong Li: Takeshi Kaneshiro, Andy Lau, and Zhang Ziyi.
The cinetrix just saw Zhang's Ju Dou for the first time just last night, and she is still wrecked. Man, what a story.
