王家衛新片 - 王家衛

摘錄自作家勞倫斯卜洛克的newsletter：


「For almost two years now I've been meeting intermittently with
Wong Kar-wai, the extraordinary Hong Kong filmmaker. We've
explored a variety of projects, and right now I'm hard at work
on the screenplay for what will be WKW's first English-language
film, which either will or won't be called My Blueberry Nights.
It'll be shot in America──all over America, actually──with
a stunning array of guest stars, none of whose names I'm yet
allowed to tell you. The star of the film will be Norah Jones,
the singer, in her first dramatic role, and I'm actually not
allowed to tell you that, either, so for heaven's sake keep it
to yourselves, will you?

It's a very exciting project. WKW's a very impressionistic
director, and he's never worked with a writer before; he writes
his films himself, and doesn't bother with a formal script,
working things out as he goes along.

Those of you who are reading this in Taiwan or Hong Kong may
have seen news items to the effect that I'm writing a film for
the Chinese actor Tony Leung (who, you'll note, starred in 2046
and other WKW films). I've met Tony, who's a fan of my Scudder
novels, even as I am an admirer of his work on screen. He's a
very nice fellow with a lot of personal magnetism, and we hit
it off well. And we did in fact talk about the possibility of
working together sometime on a picture in which he would play
an Asian-American private detective. But that, I can assure
you, is as far as it's gone. Will it ever happen? It might,
but I wouldn't run out and buy tickets just yet.」
