Wong Kar Wai to Make English-Language Debut with Solid Ensemble
by Scott Weinberg | May 26, 2006
Discuss Article
Seems like a lot of high-end actors are lining up to star in Wong Kar Wai's "My Blueberry Nights," a romantic drama that's attracted names like Kevin Spacey, Ed Harris, Jude Law, Natalie Portman, Rachel Weisz, and Norah Jones.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, "The list of stars in Wong Kar Wai's English-language debut "My Blueberry Nights" continues to grow, with Ed Harris in final negotiations for a role and Kevin Spacey also circling. "Ed Harris will be in the film. We are talking to Kevin Spacey," Wong said late Wednesday at a party hosted by French distributor StudioCanal, which is selling the film internationally. Norah Jones toplines as a young woman journeying across the U.S. in an attempt to resolve her questions about the meaning of love. Along the way she encounters some quirky characters."

Wong Kar Wai's previous films include "Happy Together," "In the Mood for Love," and "2046."

I loved In the Mood for Love and 2046 so I'd like to see what comes from this.

That's a hell of a cast. But Norah Jones playing the lead charicter does not make it sound that great, plus I didn't really care for Wai's last film 2046.

norah jones scares me too, but you should note that kar wai likes to use singers, as with chinese popstar faye wong in chunking express, and she was one of my favorite parts of that movie.
i also didn't really care for 2046. his films have been getting progressively more dense, with less focus on story and more focus on over-arching themes - in other words, they're more confusing and less entertaining. hopefully this one is different
