NIC GETS ARTSY AND ZZ TURNING JAPANESE

Nicole Kidman met with Wong Kar-wai in NYC to do her costume fitting for LADY FROM SHANGHAI, set in 1930's Shanghai. Nic has an affair with a spy. It's all very glamorous. WKW is apparently doing location scouting right now. We will see this movie in 2012.

Meanwhile, a new poster is up for MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA and I'm really glad they've decided to give Zhang Ziyi blue eyes. It's a little known scientific fact, but most Japanese people had blue eyes before World War II, and then after the War they all started wearing colored contact lenses. That's the kind of amazing historical research I expect from a movie where three Chinese actresses play Japanese women (Michelle Yeoh, Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi). The pictures look pretty, but I think this is going to flop hard.
