SIMON YAM AND KELLY LIN GO TO FRANCE

A sharp-eyed reader just pointed me towards news of Olivier Assayas' trip to Hong Kong to ask Andy Lau to star in his new movie. Andy turned down the French director, probably worried that they might end up married, and then getting divorced, like Assayas' previous Hong Kong muse/wife/collaborator, Maggie Cheung. Simon Yam and Kelly Lin felt no such hesitation however. Both actors have signed on for Assayas' new film, after starring in Johnnie To's THE SPARROW together, and Kelly inspirationally says that she'll give it her best effort. Go, Kelly!
