Maggie Q, Joe Odagiri to star in Tian's 'Warrior and the Wolf'

Chinese movies often invite/hire Japanese actors and/or actresses, opposed to Koreans which is very rare. Wonder what's the reason behind this.

love Chinese made movies, some of the best in the world, but isn't the >theme of combat and ancient warriors totally played out?

If it weren't combat and ancient warriors and full of king-fu who'd watch it? The global non-chinese forced to read subtitles market I mean.

Maggie Q was good in Die Hard 4.0.

What a strange casting.

I love Chinese made movies, some of the best in the world, but isn't the theme of combat and ancient warriors totally played out? Let me guess, scenes of wire fu also.
