SEVEN SWORDS COMING TO TV

Tsui Hark's SEVEN SWORDS isn't just for movie theaters anymore. The wuxia desert epic was also shot as a TV series that'll be airing on China's CCTV during the Chinese New Year (Feb 3 - 14) with three episodes being screened each day. Apparently, Tsui Hark turned in the series a while back, but CCTV has spent 6 months taking out the violence and the "draggy" parts, reducing the length from 40 episodes to 36.

I wish someone had done that to the movie.
