Hero EE (HK DVD) question

Post by grim_tales »

In the opening credits of the movie, why does it have Miramax's name on it? :? I thought this was supposed to be Yimou's cut of the movie (an EE at least if not a DC), and Miramax had nothing to do with it.

Didn't Miramax finance Hero ?

*investigating...*

I guess not.
But they did get their hands on the DC before it got cut.
Maybe Edko simply used the Miramax negative because it was in better shape.
I used to be "the man who loves the movies you hate".
Now I'm just "that weird french guy with a cat avatar who comes to BnB once a year for no reason and then disappears again".

I'm sure Miramax did finance Hero. Otherwise why would they have have had so much say over it?

So you've finally seen it then? Which cut do you prefer Grim.
