MICHELLE YEOH IN SUNSHINE
This is old news for a lot of folks, but Michelle Yeoh and Hiroyuki Sanada are both co-starring in Danny Boyle's new movie, SUNSHINE. A hard sci fi film set 50 years in the future when the sun is dying, Yeoh and Sanada play part of a crew sent on a mission to the sun to reignite it. Most folks know Boyle from 28 DAYS LATER and TRAINSPOTTING but if you haven't seen his kids' movie, MILLIONS, you should check it out. All the years that Yeoh has spent making crummy action movies are worth it if she winds up in a Danny Boyle sci fi film. Here's a larger version of that pic, taken on her birthday on the set, and here's a Michelle Yeoh site with more images and info on her in the movie. Nothing for Sanada, yet, though.

Agree on MILLIONS; Boyle definitely has the ability to expand the reality of the moment with a bit of extravagant fantasy, as also seen in TRAINSPOTTING. Would be wonderful to see Yeoh in something you could watch without wincing every two seconds.
