Put It In The Rumor Pile: Maggie Cheung Reportedly Appearing In Tarantino’s INGLORIOUS BASTARDS

My thanks got out to long time regular Twitch reader Glenn for pointing out that Chinese website Crienglish is reporting that Hong Kong star Maggie Cheung - best known in these parts for her frequent collaborations with Wong Kar Wai - will have a minor role in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Bastards. Now, while I’ve generally been trying to stay clear of Bastards rumors and things - yes, there are a few set pictures of Brad Pitt and Daniel Bruehl out there if you go looking for them, no I’m not posting them - this is a pretty intriguing story.
Cheung is one of Hong Kong’s most respected actresses and has been out of the limelight for a good while. I’m not sure where you would put her in to this sort of film but I’m sure if Tarantino thought he could get her - he’s an outspoken fan, having released some wkw titles on his Rolling Thunder label back in the day and used his clout to get the Weisteins to release Hero, which she has a major role in - that he would create a spot for her. Why label it a rumor, then? Well, Crienglish is arguably even less reliable than a trashy UK tabloid when it comes to fact checking and will run absolutely anything so I wouldn’t consider this one money in the bank until confirmed by more reliable sources.

Thanks for the link Todd!
I think you are probably right about Crienglish reporting just about anything! LOL! I had not counted on that.
Still, once in a great while, they will post something of interest regarding Hong Kong stars promoting or appearing in things I’d not heard about yet from any other source.

I hope this is true, and let’s have an Irma Vep Blu Ray soon, please… thanks…

Zeitgeist has a might fine “ESSENTIAL EDITION” of Irma Vep which comes out Dec. 9th. Essays, extras, the whole package. A a very nice looking version of the film (I’ve seen the copy, and will post something on it in the coming week. Not sure about a Blu-Ray release though.

Thanks Kurt, I look forward to picking that up, Blu Ray or standard!

I hope I get to see her in Latex yet again!!!

Maggie Cheung in anything is awesome (or nothing at all)...She is still one of most sexist woman alive.

Last good thing I saw her in was “Clean”, that Oliver Assayas picture where she played a recovering junkie wanting to get back into her son’s life. She was really good and I was hoping she would stick to those types of roles thereafter.
