PSYCHIC WKW UPDATE

Wong Kar Wai is talking to the Hong Kong press (according to Monkeypeaches) and he's clearing up some rumors and giving some dates and times which he'll probably ignore at his leisure. His Norah Jones, Rachel Weisz, Jude Law movie (all that creamy skin) MY BLUEBERRY NIGHTS is set to be his next project. It's a road movie set in the States, and WKW says that the rumors over a Hurricane Katrina project probably arose when he was seen scouting locations in New Orleans. But there is no Hurricane Katrina project. Repeat: WKW will not make a movie about Hurrican Katrina. Cameras are set to roll on this one in June.

He'll then go into production on LADY FROM SHANGHAI with Nicole Kidman, but she needs time to do her Baz Luhrman project first so that's a bit down the road. Then the Tony Leung Chiu-wai project about Bruce Lee's master, Ye Wen, will be pushed back to 2007 because Tony needs time to practice his martial arts.

Unless he's turned over a new leaf, don't expect to see any of these movies until 2009.
