旅美導演吳宇森執導的三國史詩大片「赤壁」上周六進行火燒曹營的大戲，大陸中央電視台還史無前例的進行直播，只見飾演周瑜的梁朝偉、孫權的張震、與趙子龍的胡軍在火海中衝鋒陷陣，非常精彩。「唯二」的遺憾，就是未見飾演諸葛亮的金城武與小喬的林志玲。

林志玲是在上周五才臨時被通知「明天沒有妳的戲」，劇組的目的就是要保密，「否則第一美女的高潮好戲被直播全曝了光，未來還有什麼賣點？」至於金城武則是10月4日就已殺青在「赤壁」裡所有的戲分。吳宇森對金城武飾演的諸葛亮給予極高評價，直誇他成功詮釋「足智多謀又英俊出眾」的此傳奇人物。

金城武在拍完「赤壁」後現已轉赴日本商談新片，目前他在日本的人氣持續上揚，在日前甫結束的美國電影市場展，最受注目的日片就是外傳將由金城武挑大樑的「鬼武者」，只見巨幅預售海報張貼在會場的最明顯處，內容就是扮成日本武士的金城武。

據了解，由於「鬼武者」的電玩當初就是以金城武的模樣來設計，所以如今要改拍成電影，金城武是唯一的男主角人選，目前投資的法國片商與金城武的經紀公司持續連絡中，盼能早日簽定合作合約。外傳若金城武接演「鬼武者」片酬將達500萬美金(約台幣1.6億)的個人新高紀錄，對此他的經紀公司還是一慣的「不予置評」。

AFM: Word From Gans’ ONIMUSHA and Basset’s SOLOMON KANE
Posted by Todd Brown at 10:20am.
Posted in Film News , Martial Arts, Action, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, USA & Canada, AFM 2007.



Prior to packing up for today’s departure from the American Film Market I opted to make one last spin through the market offices to see what I may have missed one earlier treks and was greatly rewarded when I wandered in to the realm of Essential Entertainment, home to producer Samuel Hadida.  Essential have two huge projects on the go that are of great interest in these parts ...

First is Christophe Gans’ adaptation of Onimusha, the high octane supernatural martial arts video game.  There have been rumors about this film seemingly forever and it is now well underway and deep into the preproduction process with an eye to shooting in early 2008.  Cast and finance are in place, the entire thing is storyboarded and I was treated to a look at animatic treatments of two major action sequences - the opening battle and the final one on one duel that closes the picture.  This thing is going to be simply huge and, if the opening survives as currently envisioned, very bloody.  Takeshi Kaneshiro will play the role of Samanosuke - a role he also filled in the original game - with Tsuyoshi Ihara and Emilie de Ravin rounding out the headline cast. While the people manning the office weren’t sure who would be filling the secondary fighters roles Tony Ching is handling the choreography so you know it’s going to be good.

The second big essential title is Solomon Kane which marks the arrival of yet another character from Conan creator Robert E Howard to the big screen.  Michael Bassett of Wilderness is directing from his own script, which marks a huge step up from the scale of his previous work.  There were fewer materials from this to look at but the pre-production art is gorgeous, the script and storyboards are all complete and, again, filming is due to start in 2008.

The Story for Christophe Gans' Onimusha
Source: Mirza
November 7, 2007


Last week, we told you that filming for Christophe (Silent Hill) Gans' adaptation of video game Onimusha is expected to start in April of 2008. Now, we've got the synopsis for the fantasy action-adventure based on the Capcom game which includes spoilers:

In feudal Japan, 1582, the warlord Nobunaga is ambushed by ninjas, led by the brave samurai Samanosuke. Trapped, Nobunaga commits seppuku, but two sinister sorcerers reanimate Nobunaga's corpse with a half-human insect larvae. The resurrected Nobunaga orders the capture of two very special women to fulfill his evil plans.

When Britta, the daughter of a Dutch merchant, is abducted on board a ship by seemingly invincible warriors, her tutor and confidant Jacob pursues her captors, vowing to rescue her at all costs. Meanwhile, the beautiful Princess Yuki is also kidnapped, this time by ninjas that reveal themselves, incredibly, to be part spider. In search of Yuki, Samanosuke joins forces with Jacob to vanquish their common foe. In the Cave of Elders, he receives a magical sword that will slay all within its reach—friend or foe—and learns of a sinister ceremony at Inabayama Castle intended to blot out the sun.

Performing a dangerous, stealthy invasion of the castle, Samanosuke and Jacob find the women they love dressed as Moon Princess and Daughter of the Sun, ready to be wed to and ravished by Nobunaga. Aided by their allies, the two warriors attack the insectoid hordes, but Samanosuke falls in battle, seemingly dead. In a mystical encounter, he is given the option to survive and fight—but it comes at a terrible cost...

The link below provides commentary from fans of ONIMUSHA 3 (in the US). The plot for the movie undermines Samanosuke's main role, and fans are not happy.

Onimusha Plot Revealed, Shoehorns In Some White Folk
Viideo game film adaptations are generally poorly received, but the upcoming Hollywood transformation of Capcom's Onimusha seemed to be on the right track. When the production announced the wise casting of Takeshi Kaneshiro as lead demon slayer in Christophe Gans adaptation, I wondered "When's some clueless executive going to come around and fuck this thing up the right way?" Well, we may have an answer. The upcoming plot of Onimusha the movie has been revealed.

Sure, the Onimusha series is no stranger to throwing in an out of place European or two, rather unexpectedly, but this just smacks of icky casting to up the white people quotient. Here's a snippet.

"When Britta, the daughter of a Dutch merchant, is abducted on board a ship by seemingly invincible warriors, her tutor and confidant Jacob pursues her captors, vowing to rescue her at all costs. Meanwhile, the beautiful Princess Yuki is also kidnapped, this time by ninjas that reveal themselves, incredibly, to be part spider. In search of Yuki, Samanosuke joins forces with Jacob to vanquish their common foe."

I can only assume that the listing of Samanosuke and Yuki's existence in the plot line as secondary is indicative of the importance of their roles in the story. Since Gans churned out such a sloppy Silent Hill adaptation, I don't really have much in the way of faith for Onimusha. That's probably a good thing, since my attachment to Onimusha isn't nearly as strong as Silent Hill. More details on the film's outline are at Coming Soon.

Dear ninjakitten1, thanks for sharing.
I had read this piece when fans shared it on English forum.

Look forward long to have Takeshi be the Samanosuke on big screen but I am too…
quite disappointed after reading this script story.  

The film being plan for years, and the producer side keep saying that they are seeking for
Takeshi to act a role. As up to today Takeshi agent still not yet announced anything
officially…..if he really taking up the role, hope and trust his agent will asking for a better
position for him.  

Takeshi is not necessary to gain any frame or wealth through this so call international project.

Dear Sara,

Thanks for your response, and I agree that Takeshi does not need this international project.

I had been following the Onimusha adaptation story for a few months now, and it seemed that Takeshi had been confirmed many times, but only recently bloggers seem to say with certainty that he is on board. When I saw this thread, my heart broke a little bit...

I am really happy (and not surprised, possibly) to hear that the news is not confirmed. I agree with you; Kaneshiro as Samanosuke would be FANTASTIC. He is the star of Demon Siege, but if the plot for the movie is true, then it is nothing like the original. That is fine, but his role will reduced in a way that is very disturbing.

I hope, like you, that
a) this news is not confirmed or
b) if the news is true, that Takeshi's representatives will demand a new script.

[Thanks, by the way, to this site for always bringing in latest news and pics. I have been silently enjoying the goodies you all bring as well as Creamy's Youtube uploads for a very long time! I am glad to contribute when I can.]

New reports were misleading, they said TK left Red Cliff and returned to Japan for new movie shooting, but actually he returned for the discussion of Onimusha. It's a good news to us, I remember a few months ago, we heard that there were promotion of Onimusha (movie) in Canne but TK's manager said nobody contact them for discussion on this matter, so we thought it might be a gossip /rumor.
新聞誤導啦,説武離開赤壁,回日本拍新電影,原來是鬼武者的協商,不過這真是個好消息,幾月前,我們還在討論,在康城的鬼武者宣傳,到底是真的還是流言,因爲經纪人説沒有人跟他們聯絡過

p.s. ninjiakitten1, please keep searching for updated news of Onimusha as this is a project of western investors, so you should get the news more easily on english websites.

《赤壁》在北京举行全球首次新闻发布会



【星岛网讯】
金城武的演技让吴宇森赞不绝口，也因此金城武在国际影坛的价码越喊越高。法国片商打算请金城武演根据日本动漫游戏改编的电影《鬼武者》，据传金城武如接演“鬼武者”，片酬有望达到五百万美元，也将创下他个人的片酬纪录。

　　据《新闻午报》报道，金城武在拍完《赤壁》的戏份后，上月初已赶回日本，并计划拍新片捞钱。据了解，日本动漫游戏《鬼武者》当初设计时，“鬼武者”就是以金城武的肖像为原型，金城武还参与了游戏的制作，如今改拍成电影，他当然成为男主角最佳人选。目前投资拍摄鬼武者的法国片商，与金城武的经纪公司正在洽谈联系中，传金城武如接演“鬼武者”，片酬有望达到五百万美元，不过，金城武的经纪公司对外仍然保密，没有做任何响应。

　　另外，央视17日首次直播了耗资7500万美元，号称华语电影史上最大制作的影片《赤壁》的现场拍片情况。在片中饰演诸葛亮的金城武，出色的演技让导演吴宇森赞不绝口，直夸他演活了三国演义中足智多谋、英俊潇洒的诸葛亮。金城武在国际影坛的价码，也因此越喊越高。

金城武4千萬變鬼武者
21/11/2007  

金 城 武 近 期 在 影 壇 曝 光 率 極 高 ， 繼 《 投 名 狀 》 及 《 赤 壁 》 後 ， 另 一 部 大 片 《 鬼 武 者 》 亦 有 意 找 他 做 男 主 角 ， 片 酬 更 是 《 赤 》 片 的 四 倍 ， 認 真 巴 閉 ！

金 城 武 在 電 影 《 赤 壁 》 中 飾 演 諸 葛 亮 ， 導 演 吳 宇 森 及 監 製 張 家 振 對 他 的 演 技 讚 不 絕 口 ， 獲 兩 位 國 際 級 電 影 人 開 聲 力 撐 ， 金 城 武 的 身 價 自 然 亦 愈 叫 愈 高 ， 最 近 便 有 法 國 片 商 打 金 城 武 主 意 ， 欲 將 電 玩 《 鬼 武 者 》 改 編 搬 上 銀 幕 ！

金 城 武 完 成 《 赤 壁 》 的 戲 份 後 ， 已 到 了 日 本 斟 洽 新 一 輪 工 作 。 據 了 解 ， 日 本 人 氣 電 玩 《 鬼 武 者 》 將 躍 登 大 銀 幕 ， 該 電 玩 的 主 角 「 鬼 武 者 」 ， 當 初 便 是 根 據 金 城 武 的 外 形 來 設 計 ， 金 城 武 還 參 與 了 遊 戲 的 製 作 ， 如 今 電 玩 拍 電 影 ， 金 城 武 當 然 是 不 二 之 選 ！

片 酬 高 《 赤 壁 》 四 倍
外 傳 金 城 武 今 次 片 酬 十 分 和 味 ， 高 達 五 百 多 萬 美 元 ， 即 四 千 多 萬 港 元 ， 比 起 《 赤 壁 》 千 多 萬 港 元 多 出 四 倍 ， 也 是 金 城 武 入 行 以 來 片 酬 的 最 高 紀 錄 ！

鑑 於 投 資 《 鬼 武 者 》 電 影 的 法 國 片 商 正 跟 金 城 武 接 洽 ， 故 金 城 武 的 經 理 人 公 司 對 此 暫 不 願 作 任 何 回 應 。

另 方 面 ， 昨 日 有 電 影 《 赤 壁 》 的 劇 組 人 員 爆 料 ， 指 《 赤 》 片 中 林 志 玲 飾 演 的 「 小 喬 」 ， 在 片 中 除 了 是 周 瑜 夫 人 外 ， 還 是 曹 操 的 至 愛 ， 三 人 大 鬧 三 角 戀 ！ 此 外 ， 昨 亦 有 指 林 志 玲 因 為 劇 組 的 膳 食 太 好 以 致 胖 起 來 ， 被 劇 組 要 求 減 肥 ， 以 免 不 連 戲 ！

文 ： 影 視 組

期待期待~~~

電玩都以金城武的模樣製作了

拍成電影當然要找本尊囉

沒有比金城武更適合這角色的人吧

不過蠻好奇劇情是什麼?

一定比水滸傳好很多吧

連遊戲網站也有登出相關消息囉


　　2007年11月19日，剛拍完吳宇森導演超大作《赤壁》的金城武，開始為籌備下一部日本電影《鬼武者》與電影製作公司交涉。

　　《鬼武者》是CAPCOM公司最早發行在PS系主機上的動作遊戲，《鬼武者》的舞台設定於日本戰國的安土桃山時代，主人公「明智左馬介」的造型模特和配音都由金城武擔當。毫無疑問，這次他也是電影主演的最佳人選。2004年發售的系列第3作《鬼武者3》中，金城武除了再次擔任主角模特外，也參與了製作過程。2007年10月末到11月7日開始的世界最大規模電影展「2007年American Film Market」上，《鬼武者》的電影海報聚集起了各方話題。

　　金城武所屬事務所的關係人表示，正式的演出契約目前還在協調中，據聞正式定案的出演費應不會低於500萬美金。
