HEAVEN HELP THEM: ANTHONY WONG IN HOLLYWOOD

In this interview in the International Herald Tribune Hong Kong's must unruly and talented actor, Anthony Wong, announces that he's appearing in his first Hollywood movie. It's THE PAINTED VEIL and soon Naomi Watts and Edward Norton will be dealing with the man who once said of a co-star on a DVD commentary track: "See, she is trying to act here but it is very poor. Really, I feel sorry for her."

Later in the interview Mr. Wong reveals that he will also be in the Mainland Chinese movie THE SUN RISES AGAIN (directed by Jiang Wen) and that his role in THE PAINTED VEIL is "very easy."
