“Pre-press conferences” (press con of movies before they’re even shot) are often uninteresting, because there is gererally not much to say, especially for the actors (remember “ The Storm Riders II 風雲2” in 2008). But for 1st press conference of “ Bodyguards and Assassins 十月围城” (ex-“Dark October”) at the Hong Kong Filmart 2009, it was not the case. During almost one hour, Manfred Wong interviewed producer Peter Chan 陳可辛, director Teddy Chen 陳德森, and one - big - part of the amazing cast of the movie (Here we go: Donnie Yen 甄子丹 Simon Yam 任達華, Tony Leung Kar-fai 梁家輝, Nicholas Tse 謝霆鋒, Fan Bing-bing 范冰冰, Eric Tsang 曾志偉, Leon Lai 黎明, Hu Jun 胡軍, and Wang Po-chieh 王柏傑)about this very exiting project. All the press con was conducted in Mandarin, and hearphones for the simultaneous English translation were provided. Perfect! Enjoy the (120) screencaps and the promo trailers below. More stuff coming soon...
