Wong Kar-wai is my favourite director but I fear for this movie as initial buzz and the response at the press screening apparently wasn't good. His last movie, 2046, was a major disappointment for me. However, I'll reserve judgement until I've actually seen this film.

It's looking like the visual equivalent of a Norah Jones song - not always a good thing! Where's Rachel Weisz, Natalie Portman, Ed Harris and, most importantly pour moi, David Strathairn?! Trailer makes it look like a mope-fest between Jude Law and Norah Jones - not what I was hoping for! Here's hoping the film itself is a step up.

Wong Kar Wai is my favorite director, and I was very worried when I heard news of his cross-over to English language films, ESPECIALLY since these films(I am talking about Lady From Shanghai as well, which apparently might or might not happen) don't involve Christopher Doyle. The WKW-Doyle team never failed me(I am one of the people that value 2046 as the masterpiece that it is). Needless to say, I was pretty bummed. BUT then I saw some Blueberry on-set stills, and started thinking that Wong's genius can't fail. THEN, I some more shots and grew more and more confident, and by this time yesterday, after seeing the trailer, I was sure that this might be my favourite movie of the year, I mean, that thing is beautiful *sigh*.

Sadly, after reading the first reviews that have come in, I am growing more and more disheartened and I can't help but wonder how this will eventually turn out. I mean, it's almost certain that WKW will re-edit it before the film will come out in theaters in what appears to be November, but still... I hoped against all hope that he would manage to merge the influences into something brilliant, and you know what? I still do. I am not going to 'boo' WKW until I see with my own eyes that what the critics are saying is true... Yes, I realise I might be in denial

Oh, and from what I have seen of the two trailers, the film looks amazing. I don't care what critics say. We don't love WKW and his films for the appeal they have on masses. If I liked that sort of director and film, the first on my favorite movis list would be 'The Fast and the Furious'.

Edit: I have now seen all three teaser trailers and they look great. You can check out a trailer featuring Natalie Portman at www.NataliePortman.com

Or, if that doesn't work, you can download it: http://www.natalieportman.com/npcom.php?page_number=24
