Confession Of Pain ~ Latest Press Release from Hong Kong 22 Nov

“Confession of Pain”, Media Asia Films’ grand finale this year, literally illuminated the apm shopping mall last night (Nov. 20) as its star Tony Leung Chiu-wai and directors Andrew Lau and Alan Mak hosted the Christmas lighting ceremony. Thousands of dedicated fans already swarmed the place hours early, and they screamed with joy when Tony Leung appeared in a sports car with the directing duo.

Leung said he needed to stay in Shanghai this Christmas for director Ang Lee’s new film “Lust, Caution”, and had to forgo spending the holiday with his girlfriend Carina Lau. “As this film has foreign investment, everything has a strict schedule to follow,” Leung explained. “I would feel bad if I cause any delay.”

Regarding the upcoming Golden Horse Awards in Taiwan, which Carina Lau was nominated for Best Actress, Tony Leung couldn’t be there to support her, but he was confident that she could win. “The nomination is already an acknowledgement of your work. For the audience, the apt reward is to see actors performing their best on screen.”

The lighting ceremony also previewed the music video of “Confession of Pain’s” promotional song, performed by Denise Ho. Director Andrew Lau laughed when someone noticed the MV featured more shots of Takeshi Kaneshiro than Tony Leung. He explained that the MV was edited by the song’s producer, but Tony will get a second chance when the extended version is released later.

When being asked if he was worried that his film would be up against “Curse of the Golden Flower”, Lau said that it’s always fun to have competition. When “Infernal Affairs” was released four years ago, it clashed with Zhang’s “Hero”, the first “Harry Potter” film and comedy “Golden Chicken”, yet everyone came out a winner. He believed this would be the healthy sign for the film industry.

“CONFESSION OF PAIN”OFFICIAL POSTER REVEALED

Confession of Pain”, Media Asia Films’ grand finale this year, is a HK$80m production co-produced by Media Asia, Hong Kong’s Sil-Metropole, Japan’s Avex and Beijing’s Polybona Films. The “Infernal Affairs” creative trio, including co-directors Andrew Lau and Alan Mak, with scriptwriter Felix Chong, will collaborate again on this film. The stellar cast features the hottest screen idols in Asia, including Cannes winner Tony Leung Chiu-wai, pop icon Takeshi Kaneshiro, Golden Horse-winning actress Shu Qi, Hundred Flowers winner Xu Jinglei, and Golden Horse nominee Chapman To.

A regular in Andrew Lau’s films since “Infernal Affairs”, Chapman To is a renowned trickster on location, often bringing laughter to crew members and his female co-stars. When the film was lensed at a brand new five-star hotel in Central recently, To attempted to break the ice with his reserved co-star Xu Jinglei. He began with his famous rubber band magic trick, which appeared in his previous film “Isabella”. It soon caught Xu’s attention and the actress was aspired to learn it. When she attempted and failed continuously, director Andrew Lau finally exposed To’s devious plan that he had withheld a key step so Xu would never succeed! The trickster’s mission had accomplished.

The official poster of “Confession of Pain” is out in theatres, and it features leading men Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Takeshi Kaneshiro in their respective roles -- Leung as a shady officer in the Organized Crime Division, and Kaneshiro as an alcoholic private detective. The production of this magnificent poster is as meticulous as the film itself, as it requires the two actors to spend an entire day posing for the camera. Being the professionals as always, Leung and Kaneshiro got into their characters quickly, and the audience would undoubtedly sense the tingling simply from the poster, as it foretells the immaculate showdown between two of Asia’s greatest screen icons!

THE NATIVITY STORY Premiere at The Vatican

The Nativity Story Is First Feature Film Ever To Premiere At The Vatican

On Sunday, November 26th, New Line Cinema’s The Nativity Story will become the first feature film ever to premiere at the Vatican, it was jointly announced today by New Line’s President and COO of Worldwide Distribution and Marketing Rolf Mittweg, and Stefano Dammicco, CEO of Eagle Pictures, the film’s Italian distributor. The Nativity Story is scheduled for a Dec. 1, 2006 release in the U.S., and will open in territories worldwide throughout the month of December.

The premiere, to be held at the Vatican’s Aulo Paolo VI (Pope Paul VI Hall), will be attended by The Nativity Story’s director Catherine Hardwicke, actors Shohreh Aghdashloo and Oscar Isaac, producers Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey, screenwriter Mike Rich, and 7,000 invited guests of the Vatican. The event will serve as a benefit, with contributions going toward construction of a school in the village of Mughar, Israel – which has a diverse population of Christians, Muslims, and Druze and is located approximately 40 kilometers from Nazareth.

“We are very proud of The Nativity Story and extremely grateful that the Vatican has embraced the film in this way,” says Mittweg. “We believe it is the perfect venue to present the film’s universal message of hope and faith, a message we are sure will resonate around the world.”

“The Nativity Story is an extraordinary event, and this premiere is a fitting way to reach out to our community and share the experience,” says Dammicco. “It is a privilege for Eagle Pictures to be New Line’s Italian partner on the film.”

The event has been made possible due to the collaboration of the Pontifical Council for Culture, the Pontifical Council for Social Communication, the Vatican Film Library, the Pontifical Council “Cor Unum” (for Human and Christian Development), the Vicariate of Vatican City State, and the Foundation for Sacred Art and Music.

The Nativity Story chronicles the arduous journey of two people, Mary and Joseph, a miraculous pregnancy, and the history-defining birth of Jesus. This dramatic and compelling story comes to life in a major motion picture starring Academy Award® nominee Keisha Castle-Hughes (Whale Rider) as Mary, Oscar Isaac (upcoming Guerrilla) as Joseph, and Academy Award® nominee Shoreh Aghdashloo (House of Sand and Fog) as Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist. The Nativity Story is directed by Catherine Hardwicke (Thirteen, Lords of Dogtown) from a screenplay by Mike Rich (The Rookie, Finding Forrester).
