Okay, maybe not in your hometown, Yi, but made you look.

The article doesn't say where in the Netherlands, but I'm sure you'll find out where the Sassy Girl will be and keep us informed. Right?

If this has already been posted somewhere, my apologies. From China View, via Kung Fu Cinema:

BEIJING, April 15 -- Popular Korean star Jeon Ji-hyun has chosen the Hong Kong movie "Daisy", directed by Andrew Lau, as her next movie project.

She will play opposite Jeong Woo-seong, the lead in the movie "A Moment to Remember".

Daisy tells the story of the inevitable showdown between a detective and a killer, both of whom fall in love with the same woman.

This is a movie targets the global market.

Daisy is the collaboration of high-profile actors and production crews from Korea and China: the production crew of "Infernal Affairs", the martial arts team of Spiderman and the simultaneous recording team of Taegukgi.

Daisy will be filmed in the Netherlands and is planned for release in December.

Thanks 68 Monkey.

This looks tops. It's great to see Korea getting bigger and bigger film wise. "Jeon Ji-hyun" is lovely also 8)

So will this be part Cantonese and part Korean?

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!

I -MUST- get near that, get a bit part, meet JJH, woo her of her feet, marry her, and live happily ever after!
My girlfriend is going to get so nervous once she hears this news! She's always affraid I might dump her for Beyoncé or JJH... which ofcourse I denied always... but this cant be a coïncidence... JJH must have read all my great and funny and touching forum posts here at BNB, and has therefore decided to accept a role in a movie set in Holland, just so she could meet me. Man she's sweet! :drunken: :drunken: :drunken:

WOw... if this works out, we'll name our first-born Bob, or Bobbi...

LOL I'm sure you meant "woo her off her feet" . I'm sure she is quite attached to her feet!

Well, the name Robert isn't bad, but if it's a girl, don't curse her with the name Roberta. I've never liked it, hence the nickname.

Dont worry. I can be cruel at times, I agree.... but I would never be so evil as to actually caull any daughter of mine Roberta. Sounds like a lesbian tree-chopper who owns a pick-up truck and chews tobacco

Hey Yi, according to RicoChan, the filming is taking place right now!!! Get busy, man! :p

Now about that Roberta comment. I have NEVER chewed tobacco, but as for the pick-up truck . . .

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 24 May 2005, 05:32

It's already being filmed??? So she's already here in Holland? That could explain the mysterious phonecalls that hang up as soon as my mom picks up the phone...
Did Rico know WHERE it was being filmed??

Website is up for this film, now. Last time I checked it, the site wasn't fully functional, but quite a few nice shots if you moved your mouse around enough to find where to click.

The city looks gorgeous!

Cool site there Joey.

WOW:

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 18 Feb 2006, 00:16

Saw the trailer for this quite a while back. Visually it looks good, but I have my concerns of what the story seems to be about. A good guy and a bad guy both falling for the same woman. Uhm... open any book and you'll find this.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. It's the old love triangle plot. Still, nice eye candy with Lee Sung-jae's new, scruffy look.

Thanks for the QuickTime Trailer Tom.

Note to film-makers, come up with new ideas. The love triangle has been done to death. It would even be something if it was two female cops who fall for the same guy.

Still Jeon Ji-Hyun has Charisma and Andrew Lau is a decent director so who knows.

So disappointing... whatever you do, don't spend money on seeing this film. After this and Windstruck, I sadly can't imagine another good film coming out of Kwak Jae-young... ever.

What does director Kwak Jae-Young have to do with Daisy ?
EDIT: Oh, you're right. He's the screenwriter.

whatever you do, don't spend money on seeing this film.

Thanks, I'll order it right away.

Given your taste in films, Daisy must be a true masterpiece.

Despite Andrew Lau directing, the film completely "feels" like a Kwak Jae-young film.

Haha

If it helps, I loved My Sassy Girl and The Classic and felt the romantic elements in both movies were really well done. Jung Woo-sung's obsessive musings are more in "stalker" territory than "romantic" in this one. Just doesn't work for me... at all. Which means you'll love it.

Seriously, I could write an essay on the problems with this movie.
