Red Cliff is director John Woo’s latest film, a sweeping epic about the historic Battle of Red Cliffs that stars Tony Leung, an actor considered to be Hong Kong’s equivalent to Robert De Niro (well, when he was in his prime). It is a film that has been released in lots of markets already over the past ten months or so, with Part I first released in Mainland China last July, and Part II in January this year.

Other places that it has reached are Japan, Singapore and South Korea, with the only non-Asian locations being France (released in March this year).

Red Cliff 2 will The US distribution rights were acquired by Magnet Releasing (the genre label of Magnolia Pictures) at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, and Red Cliff is planned for release sometime this fall. No official release date has been set, but it is planned to be combined into one two-and-a-half hour movie (instead of two separate parts, as most of the rest of the world got), with plans for an eventual video-on-demand and DVD release.

The first of this two-part epic motion, “Red Cliff” adapted from China’s novel “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” written by Guanzhong Luo (1330-1400) is the most expensive film ever made in Asia.
