French Star Alain Delon Cast For New Johnnie To Film.

I wholeheartedly approve of this.

Only one word for this one - cool.

According to Apple Daily, his co-star will be Lau Ching Wan (in a long overdue reunion w/ To), so yes, this news is major uplift.

You got to be fucking kidding me? This is cool to the next ice capades cool. Deon was part of the coolest and baddest decade of crime films you'll ever see, and to star in a To film is going to kick cinema ass. I'm there for sure, holy fucking shitballz am i erect as a stocked horse being pierced inside of a mansion!!!!

WoW! This is definitely interesting, and since To is on such a role lately, is just some fantastic icing on the cake.

The man is indeed cool like 90's Chow Yun Fat, 40's Bogart. Come to think of it. Anthony Wong was sort of playing a cross between Bogart and Delon in Exiled.

Damn....i met Johnnie To this evening in Rotterdam. There weren't a lot of people, so i saw my chance to ask for an autograph. While signing my DVD i asked him about the Alain Delon project and he confirmed that it will involve some hong kong actors including Lau Ching Wan. Furthermore, i asked him what the hell Wai Kar Fai is doing these days (because in the last few years he only made crap comedies). Turns out he is back in the Milky Way gang again. He will write the script for the Alain Delon project and he also did the script for a yet to be released Milky Way movie called "supercop" (my translation of the cantonese title he told me) which also stars Lau Ching Wan. Finally....since i didnt have my photocamera with me, i wanted to ask him which screenings he will visit so i could take a photograph later on. But before i finished my question, he offered to take a photo for me with his camera and he would send it to me when he got back. Allthough i dont really think he would actually send the picture to me (i mean....he is a busy man), it was really cool of him to say that.
