John Woos movie: The Crossing 《太平轮： 乱世浮生》 John Woo emphasises on the themes of faith, hope and destiny. More importantly, the power of love which triumphs during turbulent periods of war and revolution. The Crossing sets release date for December. When John Woo heard about the story of the liner “Taiping” from “Lust, Caution” screenplay writer Wang Huiling in 2008, he was deeply moved and hence decided to make a historical romance film with the best team possible to portray stories that happened during that tumultuous time. However, in year 2012, John Woo was diagnosed with cancer and had to defer the shoot. “While I was receiving treatment in the States, I saw a bad film and I thought to myself, I could not just die like that. I can’t just go away without making a film which I think is perfect, John Woo shared. The Crossing features an ensemble of international and well-known artists across China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Japan. John Woo is very specific about the casting. Each artist is carefully selected to bring qualities to the characters that they are playing. “The Crossing” would be as epic as “Gone with the Wind” but John also promises to deliver exciting visuals despite making a different genre as before. “The Crossing” is presented by Beijing Galloping Horse, LeVision Pictures, China Film Group as well as Huayi Brothers. This 2014 Chinese blockbuster features star studded casts, starring Zhang Ziyi (章子怡), Song Hye Kyo (宋慧乔), Takeshi Kaneshiro (金城武), Huang Xiaoming (黄晓明), Tong Dawei (佟大为) & Masami Nagasawa (长泽雅美).
